GTA 6 Map Size Leaks: How Big is Vice City Compared to GTA 5?

 

The anticipation for Rockstar Games' upcoming masterpiece, GTA 6, is reaching a fever pitch. While fans are dissecting every frame of the official trailers, the gaming community is buzzing with massive GTA 6 map size leaks.

If you are wondering how big the new state of Leonida (Vice City and surrounding areas) will be, you are in the right place. In this post, we’ll dive deep into the latest leaks, mapping projects, and compare the upcoming GTA VI map to GTA V’s Los Santos.

The Scale of Leonida: How Huge is the GTA 6 Map?

According to various community mapping projects—where dedicated fans use coordinates from the infamous 2022 Rockstar leaks—the GTA 6 map is set to be absolutely massive.

Unlike GTA 5, which featured a single major city (Los Santos) surrounded by countryside, GTA 6 is introduced as the state of Leonida. Rumors and leaks suggest that the playable area could be 2 to 3 times larger than GTA 5.

Key Leaked Locations in GTA 6:

• Vice City: The neon-lit main metropolis inspired by modern-day Miami.

• Port Gellhorn: A secondary major city located in the western part of the map, offering a distinct sub-urban vibe.

• The Keys (Gator Rush): A massive wetland and swamp area inspired by the Florida Everglades.

• Grassrivers & Redhill: Rural and mountainous regions perfect for off-roading and country lifestyle simulation.

GTA 6 Map vs. GTA 5 Map: The Comparison

Why are fans so excited? It’s all about the density and scale. While GTA 5’s map was large, a significant portion of it consisted of empty mountains and valleys. GTA 6 aims to change that with unprecedented indoor and outdoor density.

Feature	GTA 5 (Los Santos)	GTA 6 (Leonida State) - Leaked
Main Cities	1 (Los Santos)	2+ (Vice City, Port Gellhorn, etc.)
Map Scale	Baseline (1X)	Estimated (2.5XLarger)
Enterable Buildings	Limited (approx. 10%)	Highly Increased (Rumored 30-40%)
Water Bodies	Open Ocean	Deep Swamps, Rivers, and Islands

📌 Note: Leaks indicate that the ocean won't just be a boundary anymore. GTA 6 will feature underwater exploration, sunken ships, and vibrant marine life, making the water masses highly interactive.

The "Enterable Buildings" Leak: Depth Over Just Size

A massive map means nothing if it feels empty. One of the most exciting GTA 6 leaks suggests that Rockstar is focusing heavily on interior spaces.

According to leaked source codes, a significant percentage of buildings in Vice City—including malls, restaurants, gas stations, and apartment complexes—will be fully enterable. This means the map will feel significantly larger because of its verticality and depth, rather than just raw square mileage.

When Will Rockstar Reveal the Official GTA 6 Map?

Historically, Rockstar Games releases the official map blueprint just a few weeks before the game’s official launch, usually via physical game editions or special promotional reveals. With GTA 6 targeted for a late release window, we can expect the official map layout to drop closer to the launch date.
