GTA 6 map rumored to be the biggest in series history

RumorThe GTA6 Times DeskPublished Jun 18, 2026

A persistent GTA 6 rumor is that the map will be the largest Rockstar has ever built. The setting is Vice City and the surrounding state of Leonida, a fictional Florida, and the trailers clearly show a world of dense city blocks, beaches, swamps and open water that points to real scale.

It is important to be precise about what is confirmed and what is not. Rockstar has not released any official map size, and the specific square-mileage figures shared online are unverified estimates, not facts. Treat them as rumor until Rockstar says otherwise.

What we can say with confidence: the setting is Vice City and Leonida, and the bigger leap is likely density and interactivity, in line with Red Dead Redemption 2. For what is actually known, see our setting guide and the interactive map.
