GTA 6 map brought to life by YouTuber and it’s much bigger than GTA 5-Adam Starkey-Entertainment – Metro

A YouTuber has pieced together various GTA 6 leaks to estimate the size of the map, indicating it could be significantly larger than GTA 5.

After the anniversary of the first trailer passed by without a peep from Rockstar, the big question is whether we’ll see more footage from GTA 6 at some point this month.

While predicting Rockstar’s next move is always a foolish endeavour, you can always rely on fans to try and do so anyway – whether through wild theories or elaborate creations of their own.

The latter is on full display in a new YouTube video, which claims to have pieced together what the map for GTA 6 will look like, based on all the leaks so far.

The video, posted by YouTuber Dark Space, directly compares GTA 5’s map to the estimated size of the one for GTA 6, which is based on ‘real range units from the leaks’.

As pointed out by a moderator on the GTA 6 Reddit, the video creates a 3D model based on another map project by Dupz0rs. While the maps outline is described as speculative, it is said to be accurate for the areas of Vice City, Port Gellhorn, and the Florida Keys, with the rest being estimations based on the trailer and leaks.

In other words, it shouldn’t be taken as gospel – but it does give a rough idea of how big the Leonida’s map will be.

In the video (at the four minute mark), Dark Space shows a side-by-side comparison of a helicopter ride across the GTA 5 map and the largely blank GTA 6 model. While it takes 3 minutes 30 seconds to fly across GTA 5, from the southernmost to the northernmost point of the map, it takes 6 minutes 10 seconds in the envisaged sequel.

If these leaks are accurate, that means GTA 6’s map could be almost double the size of the one featured in GTA 5, which was already the biggest in the series so far.

Whereas GTA 5 is set in a satirical spin on Los Angeles, GTA 6 takes its inspiration from Florida for the state of Leonida, which includes a return to the Miami-inspired Vice City.

While there’s uncertainty around whether we’ll see the anticipated next trailer for GTA 6 this month, the next likely chance is at The Game Awards on Friday, December 13.

An exact release date for GTA 6 has yet to be announced, but Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two has reaffirmed it is scheduled for autumn 2025.
