The massive filtration of grand theft auto 6 It was the news of the week. Until a few days ago, GTA VI was nothing more than that game that everyone knew was going to come out at some point, but that Rockstar Games seemed to ignore completely. we never saw a teaser, nor have we ever had the slightest clue as to its release date. Early last Sunday, everything changed. A hacker exposed dozens of videos with technical game tests, as well as quite a few lines of code. This matter is not over, and the hacker may not have said the last word yet. Meanwhile, there are more than one GTA fan who are watching the videos one by one, and they already have an idea of where the shots of the game are going.
How big will the GTA VI map be?
It might seem ridiculous to answer that question when all we’ve seen is a handful of tech test videos from Rockstar’s dev team dating back to 2019. However, some Reddit users have shared all the information they’ve gleaned from the filtered information. The redditors It seems that they are quite clear that this new step through Vice City will be big.
What these users have done is point out the coordinates that appear in the leaked videos. Then, they have placed each known point of the city on a grid. However, the thing has a little more magic. In one of the videos, the player is shown in a ‘-7191’ position. Jumbo04 user’s reasoning is simple:
“If there is a -7191 I guess there will also be a +7191. So from what I can find and guess, we could see a map of 14,382 x 14,382 units, if we assume that the coordinate 0,0 will be the center of the map. I took a good look at the coordinates when the character was moving and it seems that a unit in coordinates estimates approximately one meter. If the coordinate 0.0 were in the center of the map, this could mean that the total area could be about 206.8 square kilometers, or 79.9 square miles.”
A map twice the size. But do not get our hopes high
Making a comparison, Jumbo04 estimates that the GTA V map is about 80 square kilometers. This is the same figure given by the YouTube channel MetaBallStudios, although the surface of the video game map depends on whether you add or remove aquatic areas from the equation.
If the calculations of the GTA VI leak videos are correct, the new version of Vice City will be twice the size of Los Santos in GTA V. In addition, everything indicates that the map will not have the same layout as in Grand Theft Auto : Vice City, as some of the key areas of the city from the original game, such as the airport, are now located at other points on the map.
However, there should be no illusions. There was another rumor that GTA VI’s map would be smaller than GTA V’s, but in return, all building interiors would be explorable.
