GTA 6 screenshot shows huge city, fans stunned by scale of open world

GTA 6 is getting closer every day, and fans are really starting to itch for something concrete to hold onto.

Rockstar Games first announced that GTA VI was in active development back in February 2022. Since then? Nothing but fans rushing live TV shows and infamous gameplay leaks of an early build of the game from last summer to pick over.

Here's everything we know about GTA VI so far!

While Rockstar managed to get a pretty good handle on last year's leaks, wiping most of them from the internet, the occasional snippet has found its way back online - much to the enthusiasm of fans.

Reddit user HiiGuardian stumbled across a screenshot of the leaked gameplay that appears to show just how truly massive GTA VI's open world is. Not a huge shock, given we know Rockstar has been working on this game for ten years, but it's exciting to really get a feel for its scale.

“If you were this far from the tall buildings in GTA V, you would be outside of the metropolitan area easily,” they said in a post featuring the alleged screenshot. “While it looks like you’re still in the city here. The city seems huge.”

The Redditor goes on to point to draw distance, which could very well signal the scope of the map. It's worth noting, of course, that the screenshot in question is from an in-development build of the game, so we shouldn't put too much stock by it.

In other GTA VI news we recently learned that the game is all but guaranteed to release by March 2025 at the absolute latest, which means in two years we can finally stop asking Rockstar where GTA VI is. If that isn't a step towards world peace I don't know what is.
