Aside from the release date, one of the main concerns of "Grand Theft Auto" fans is the map of "GTA 6." In fact, in most leaks, the map is usually a talking point, although some leaks are fake and fan-made. In this article, we gather everything that has been leaked, rumored, and speculated about the setting of the next iteration to the successful "Grand Theft Auto" series.
One of the essential elements in any "GTA" series is the map and how well it is received by the gamers. The map plays a significant part in the overall success of the game. In the previous game installments, Rockstar Games definitely introduced iconic maps, which makes it easy to see why players are very excited about what the map of "GTA 6" will look like.
This also means that the game developer has already set a high level of standard for "GTA 6" to follow. Giving players a rehash of an old "GTA" map or even a new map but with the same size as that of Los Santos will not be interesting at all. For many gamers, the size of the map greatly matters.
Another Rockstar Games' successful title, the "Red Dead Redemption 2," is estimated to have 29 square miles. This is just the sequel to the famous Wild West-themed game, which means the game developer could put up an expansive map on "GTA 6." Many speculate that the map might span across many cities.
Aside from the size of the map, fans would also like to revisit old maps and integrate them on the map of "GTA 6." Several rumors suggest that the map of the sixth series installment could be based on several cities in earlier "Grand Theft Auto" games. This is an exciting idea because gamers who were not able to play iconic maps of old "GTA" games could visit it in better graphics quality. Fans would love to see a high-definition version of Vice City, or San Andreas, or even Liberty City in "GTA 6."
There was a leak about "GTA 6" having three different eras. While many fans would not want to believe its accuracy, the thought of playing the game at different points in time is just amazing. The leak claimed that "GTA 6" would be set in 1980's Vice City, 2000's Liberty City, and modern-day Los Santos.
But, these claims about the map of "GTA 6" are mere speculations, and we should carefully take these with a pinch of salt. Rockstar Games has yet to announce "GTA 6," and so far, has been mum about anything related to the heavily rumored game.
