GTA 6 Official Map Leak Has Been Under Our Noses Since 2017, in GTA 5

It can't have been there all along surely?!

Expectant fans can't get enough of GTA VI rumours and potential details, particularly with the dearth of actual concrete information from the developer up to now.

Thus far we have been privy to a couple of trailers and plenty of screenshots on the Rockstar Games website, but there's very little we actually know about what the game will be like or what the story will include.

Another big unknown is the game world. Though we have been to Vice City before, that was a very long time ago, and we can expect it to be a whole lot bigger and more detailed than the original version that Tommy Vercetti called his own.

Well, it turns out we might have known more than we thought about the latter, and it's been under our noses since all the way back in 2017.

Over on Twitter/X, user TREVORTRAILER shared screenshots of the Florida-esque map featuring on a screen as part of the Doomsday Heist DLC. That DLC launched in 2017 and fans have been blown away by the idea that things have been cooking in the proverbial pot for so long.

Now, it's important to note that there is some conjecture here, with detail-oriented players trying to match up specific shapes on each map, but the overall images are compelling enough to warrant attention.

The original discovery was actually made by French streamer Yaroph, with many since jumping in to spread their take on the veracity of the discovery.

In recent weeks, leaks and speculation have also included the news that Rockstar hired 20 engineers to exclusively work on the water physics for the game.

If that's the kind of attention to detail we can expect from every area of the playable experience, then those who think GTA 6 might be the best game of all time could well be correct.
