With GTA 6 set to launch in May 2026, let’s take a look at what we know so far about how its map stacks up against GTA 5’s.

With the GTA 6 Trailer 2 finally out, the community is collecting more information, including potential map size and locations compared to GTA 5. There is so much data to work with, aside from the two trailers, the official website, and some leaks about the game. This has led the community to believe that GTA 6 will feature a much larger map than GTA 5. However, until Rockstar Games provides official information, this is as far as we can go in terms of theories and speculations.
With that said, let’s take a look at what we know so far about the map size of GTA 6 and how large it might be compared to GTA 5.

The final map for GTA 6 has yet to surface. However, the community took matters into their own hands and came up with the Leonida Mapping Project. The goal of this project is to reconstruct the GTA 6 map using information obtained from various official sources.
Any information from signboards, scenery, or highways shown in trailers and promotional images was collected. It is then used to piece together a potential map for the game. However, keep in mind that Rockstar Games has yet to verify the accuracy of the locations found in the community-recreated map.
For the time being, this is the latest copy of the map, shared by X user DuPz0r in March 2025. The community continues to gather information from additional sources to build more details and locations on the map.
