Eagle-eyed fans have spotted what could be our first look atGTA 6’s map in the recently released key art that features Lucia and Jason sitting on the hood of a car.
As you can imagine from a community that has been waiting for confirmation of a new Grand Theft Auto ever sinceRed Dead Redemption 2released five years ago, fans have beencombing through the reveal trailerto find every detail they can about the upcoming game. We’ve seen lots of interesting details so far,like Lucia having an ankle monitor that could restrict map movementand astrange reference to a Red Dead Online character, but the key art might be hiding something much bigger.
Over on the GTA 6 subreddit,Redditor InevitableLibrary387 shared an image of the only piece of key art released for GTA 6 right now, which features Lucia and Jason sitting on the hood of a car and starting out into the distance. In the post, they point out that the bottom right corner of the image might actually show us a first look at the game’s map, albeit with very little detail.
At first, it’s easy to take the post as some kind of meme considering the subreddit is full of players making memes about the lack of information andjokingly theorising that the game might have guns, but if you take a close look at the key art you’ll see that InevitableLibrary387 actually isn’t kidding and that there does appear to be a map of sorts stuck to a structure in the corner of the image.
It’s very hard to make out anything concrete from the map as it doesn’t have any landmarks noted and isn’t the highest quality, but it certainly looks like it’s showing the general outline of Leonida, or at least of the surrounding area that Jason and Lucia are in. Some fans have managed to upscale the map, which shows that it features several different islands and a whole bunch of land beyond what appears to be a few cities.
This lines up withwhat was said about the game’s map in a leak that took place before the trailer was revealed, as someone who seemingly has connections to Rockstar Games said that it’d be made up of at least three cities.
If what can be seen in the key art is an actual map, then it’s a great little hidden detail from Rockstar Games that does give us some idea about how big the map is going to be and how it’ll be laid out. It’s not quite enough to get a concrete idea of what we’ll be exploring in 2025, but it is the best hint we’ve been given so far.
