Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that GTA 6 will take players back to Vice City, but the question on everyone’s mind is: how big will the map be? Leaks and trailer analysis suggest we’re looking at the largest and most dynamic open world in Rockstar history.
Vice City Returns – But Expanded
Unlike the original Vice City from 2002, the new version will not only include the iconic Miami-inspired city but also a huge surrounding region of Leonida, Rockstar’s version of Florida. Expect swamps, countryside, islands, and dense urban areas.
Leaked Map Fragments and Comparisons
- A coastline with more beaches and water activities
- Multiple airports and highways
- New areas like Port Gellhorn, Kelly County, and Grassrivers
Some fans have overlaid the leaked Vice City map with the GTA 5 map and estimated it to be at least 1.5 to 2 times larger.
Dynamic World with Evolving Locations
One major upgrade teased by Rockstar is a living map — locations will change over time, with new areas unlocking and the environment evolving as you progress through the story. That’s a first for any GTA game!
More Interiors and Verticality
Leaks also mention a significant increase in accessible buildings and interior locations, giving the player more freedom to explore, rob, hide, and interact with the environment. Expect high-rise buildings, clubs, and apartments you can enter.
GTA 6 Map Size vs. GTA 5
| Feature | GTA 5 (San Andreas) | GTA 6 (Vice City – Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Map Area | ~81 sq km | ~140+ sq km (estimated) |
| Accessible Interiors | Limited | Significantly Expanded |
| Evolving Map | No | Yes |
| Number of Cities | 1 (Los Santos) | 1+ (Vice City + surrounding towns) |
Conclusion
GTA 6 is shaping up to deliver not just a massive map — but a dynamic, evolving world unlike anything we’ve seen in the series. With Vice City at the center and Florida-inspired wilderness around it, fans are in for a wild ride.
