Between the spectacular trailers of Grand Theft Auto VI and the silence of Rockstar Games on the size of the map, players speculate. A new gameplay leak reignites the debate: GTA 6 would offer more than 700 explorable places, for a map of Vice City literally colossal.
Behind this leak hide several insiders relayed by Reddit and Discord accounts GameRoll, GamePost Or TheEternalGazed. Players have compiled hours of test footage and old leaks to map Leonida. What do these 700 places really say about the ambition of GTA 6 ?
GTA 6: what does this leak about the size of the map really reveal?
According to a summary of leaks cited by ScreenRant, the map would have “700+ shops”, the majority of which would have an interior, accompanied by entire shopping centers and “skyscrapers with elevators”. We also talk about underwater areas filled with “treasures and secrets”, accessible by diving around Vice City.
The same leaks mention around 40% of buildings that can be visited across the entire Leonidamuch more than in GTA V. A leak from 2023 spoke of an area “inspired by the Bahamas” like “one of the three islands”, and of a “fort” like Fort Knox, while the community project “Mapping Vice City” already estimates an area significantly larger than Los Santos.
GTA 6: what does 700 explorable locations change for the gameplay?
These “700+ shops” would not be simple facades. The leaks tell of jewelry stores, gas stations, tattoo parlors, banks, lovable hotels and motels, clubs and entire shopping malls, many of them robbed. Between two missions, a mini basketball game would keep Jason and Lucia busy on the playgrounds. Vice City.
The world would react much more finely to the player’s actions. Leaks also speak of partially destructible buildings and fires spreading through the streets of Vice City. Jason and Lucia would automatically put away their weapons in public, NPCs would call the police in the event of an intrusion, certain buildings would become condemned after a heist. With nearly 40% of the interiors accessible, completionists risk ecstasy as well as overdose.
GTA 6 leak: what can we really expect before November 19, 2026?
Rockstar Games remains silent on these figures. Officially, we only know that Grand Theft Auto VI takes place at Vice Cityin the state of Leonidawith two protagonists, and that it will be released on November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with no PC date announced.
The footage behind the leak remains from test versions and anonymous testimonials. There is no guarantee that the island “inspired by the Bahamas”, the Fort Knox-style “fort” or even the exact number of interiors will survive until the final disc, especially with the technical constraints of current consoles. If only part of these leaks is confirmed, the map GTA 6 could become the new favorite playground for explorers, virtual robbers and online roleplay creators.
