Regardless, eagle-eyed followers have began to piece collectively how the GTA 6 map would possibly look and performance, and speculate that it could possibly be double the scale of GTA 5.
The leaked movies show quite a lot of participant coordinates, designed to point to builders engaged on the construct model of GTA 6 particularly the place they’re inside the map.

“If there’s a -7191 I assume there may also be a +7191,” says Redditor Jumbo04. “So so far as I can discover and assume, we might see a map of 14.382 x 14.382 models, if we assume that the 0.0 coordinate would be the centre of the map. I took a great have a look at the coordinates when the character was transferring and plainly one unit in coordinates estimates about one metre. If the 0.0 coordinate can be in the midst of the map, this might imply that the whole floor could possibly be round 206.8 sq. kilometres, or 79.9 sq. miles.”
By comparability, Jumbo04 estimates the GTA 5 map to be round 80 sq. kilometres, or 31 sq. miles. That is additionally the determine given by YouTube channel MetaBallStudios, which has produced a video evaluating map sizes from numerous open-world video games.
If the calculations from the GTA 6 leak movies are correct, this might imply that the brand new model of Vice Metropolis will probably be twice as giant – if water and countryside are additionally taken into consideration – as Los Santos in GTA 5. Jumbo04 has additionally begun to triangulate numerous areas that is likely to be discovered within the new Vice Metropolis, judging that the airport, downtown, and iconic Ocean Drive will all function close to the town centre, whereas Key Island, like based mostly on the Florida Keys, will probably be positioned to the distant south.

This may be extraordinarily completely different to the unique 2002 Vice Metropolis, the place downtown is positioned on the reverse finish of the map to the airport, and Ocean Drive is within the distant east.
