The game will span Vice City and beyond, featuring areas like the Leonida Keys, Mount Kalaga National Park, Ambrosia, Port Gellhorn, and the swamps of Grassrivers all pointing to a map significantly larger than GTA V’s.

The story goes that fan cartographers, including user u/StikyLizardStudiosYT, overlaid maps and came up with this approximate scale.
The map includes:
Vice City (Miami-inspired urban center)
Leonida Keys (tropical islands)
Grassrivers (wetlands)
Mount Kalaga National Park (rural wilderness)
Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and more

Will GTA 6 Have Multiplayer?
This is one of the most popular questions among U.S. gamers gearing up for Grand Theft Auto VI and for good reason. Here’s everything you need to know about whether GTA 6 multiplayer is on the way, from insider rumors to anticipated features.
GTA 6 Multiplayer: What’s Confirmed & Likely
Experts and streaming platforms confirm that while GTA 6 won’t launch with a ready-made GTA 6 online mode, an online experience will be introduced soon after. Twitch’s director of monetization, Mike Minton, noted that initial streaming will focus on single-player, with multiplayer content expected later — much like previous Rockstar releases.
Possible Split Between Single-Player & Online
Rumors, especially from credible leakers like Tez2, suggest Rockstar may launch GTA 6 multiplayer separately—potentially offering an online-only version alongside a single-player story. This aligns with how GTA V Online and Red Dead Online were marketed.
Multiplayer Specs & User Expectations
While Rockstar keeps most multiplayer details under wraps, early player reports hint at a significant expansion:
Leaks suggest up to 64-player lobbies initially, with a goal toward 96, increasing the scale of GTA Online. GTA VI’s map, already bigger than previous titles, could support vast multiplayer scenarios with dynamic interactions.
