Rockstar Games is taking the open-world experience to the next level with GTA 6’s massive new map. While we know the game is set in a modern-day Vice City, the world appears far larger and more diverse than any previous GTA title — possibly even bigger than Red Dead Redemption 2.
Let’s explore the leaks, official footage, and insider claims to answer the big question: How big is the GTA 6 map?
Vice City Reimagined
Vice City is back — but it’s not just a nostalgic remake.
GTA 6’s version of Vice City is:
- Modern-day Miami-inspired with high-rises, beaches, and neon-lit clubs
- Much more detailed, with enterable interiors, evolving neighborhoods, and interactable businesses
- Home to both luxury and poverty, reflecting the city’s economic divide
From luxury condos to gang-run backstreets, the new Vice City feels alive, immersive, and dangerous.
Beyond Vice City: Surrounding Regions
Leaks and gameplay footage hint at multiple regions outside Vice City, including:
- Suburban towns and farmlands
- Swamps and backwater areas (likely inspired by the Florida Everglades)
- Rural highways, truck stops, and gas stations
- Small islands accessible via boat or bridge
- Possibly a second region inspired by Latin America for smuggling missions
This expansion makes GTA 6’s world feel more like a mini-country than a single city.
Map Size: How Big Is It Really?
According to trusted insiders, the GTA 6 map is expected to be:
- 2–3 times larger than GTA 5
- More vertical, with multi-story buildings and interiors
- Filled with dynamic events like car chases, protests, robberies, and storms
Combined with smarter AI and living systems, this isn’t just about size — it’s about depth.
Transportation & Exploration
To explore this huge world, players will have access to:
- Cars, boats, planes, helicopters, bikes, and jet skis
- Fast travel points unlocked through exploration
- Missions that span across urban and rural locations
- Underground areas, construction zones, and rooftops
You’ll be able to go from a downtown nightclub to a swampy drug lab in one seamless experience.
Dynamic Weather & Time of Day
The new Vice City map is more than just static scenery. Weather and time-of-day systems include:
- Hurricanes, flooding, and thunderstorms
- Changing traffic and NPC patterns based on time
- Waterlogged roads and destructible environments
- Fog, lightning strikes, and power outages during storms
These dynamic effects change how missions and exploration play out.
Map Leaks: What We’ve Seen So Far
Numerous map leaks (from the infamous 2022 gameplay leak and later footage) show:
- Highway systems connecting different regions
- A large airport near the coast
- Swampy southern areas and beachfront northern zones
- Dozens of iconic landmarks, including:
- Downtown Vice City (Miami-style skyline)
- Rural towns like Port Gellhorn
- Gas stations, fast food chains, trailer parks
- Amusement parks, marinas, and wildlife zones
Final Thoughts
GTA 6’s map isn’t just the biggest yet — it’s the most alive. From neon-lit city blocks to wild swamps and flooded roads, every region offers unique challenges and storylines.
