GTA 6: 7 New Rumours Everyone Is Going Crazy Over

5. The Game's Map?

Fans will recall how an early version of Red Dead Redemption 2's map was leaked all the way back in 2016, so there's clear precedent for more map leaks to occur as Rockstar progresses further into the development of the next GTA.

A number of fake mock-ups have been made of GTA VI's map ever since the Project Americas leak from the other year (so far the most convincing of the bunch), with fans having a bit of fun imagining what the next title could look like, and others simply having a bit of mischief trying to deceive people into thinking what they've made is real.

Most so far appear to be wide off the mark, at least given what we know from the most convincing rumours so far. The most recent of these, though, surfaced during the last week, and depicts a new version of Vice City complete with its own version of the Everglades.

While the map itself points towards a sizeable open world, it does also seem a little small given the leaks and rumours we've heard so far, which all point towards the next title including multiple cities - not just one.

It's more than likely that this map isn't real then, but don't rule out the possibility of the actual map dropping prematurely eventually. If it happened to Red Dead, then it can definitely happen to GTA.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
