According to Bloomberg, there will be new missions and new map areas added 'on a regular basis'. Apparently, Rockstar plans to update the map with more cities and interior locations after release, mainly to give developers more breathing room and to cut down on overtime while GTA 6 is being worked on. Specifically, the fact that GTA 6's map may not remain static post-launch. While this smaller launch map may sound disappointing at first, it's worth digging into other parts of the aforementioned report. These are likely the swamps and bridges we see in the trailer, based loosely on the Florida Keys. This was apparently cut back during development, with Rockstar Games shifting and narrowing its focus to Vice City and the surrounding areas. We see a fair few shots of Vice City in the debut trailer, but it's still unclear whether other areas will be included at launch.Ī Bloomberg report published in 2022 claims that GTA 6's map was much bigger to begin with, encompassing areas based on both North and South America.

In a newswire post, published just after the trailer, Rockstar describes the area as 'the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet'.

We now know that GTA 6 will be set in the state of Leonida, which encompasses Vice City and beyond.
