Theories Flood the Community

A growing number of fans on Reddit now believe that the public has seen only a fraction of what GTA 6 truly offers. According to discussions in the r/GTA6 community, players estimate that no more than ten percent of the map and core features have been revealed — a claim that reflects both excitement and uncertainty. The thread, which gained thousands of upvotes, compares speculative fan-made maps to confirmed trailer imagery. The result? A realization that Rockstar may still be keeping enormous areas and story elements under wraps.

Speculation About Hidden Locations

Many players suspect that Vice City will not be the only major setting. Some believe smaller regions like Cuba, the Bahamas, or remote Caribbean islands could appear as part of missions or side stories. Others reference past Rockstar titles — Red Dead Redemption 2 featured Guarma, a tropical island used for only one chapter, suggesting a similar narrative detour could happen in GTA 6.

A few fans even pointed out environmental clues in leaked material and official trailers hinting at air travel and large bodies of water, fueling theories of cross-island gameplay. Whether these locations are explorable in free roam remains an open question, but the possibility has reignited speculation.

Rockstar’s History of Secrecy

Rockstar Games has always guarded its projects with precision. Before GTA 5 launched, only a portion of Los Santos had been shown, leaving much of the map a surprise for players. It’s likely that the studio is following a similar playbook for GTA 6 — revealing just enough to build hype while concealing its full scale.

For now, fans can only speculate. If history repeats itself, we may not grasp the full extent of GTA 6’s world until release day. And if players are right that we’ve only seen ten percent, what’s left could redefine what an open-world game can be.
