While other sites report on “GTA 6 being big,” the real story is the density. The ‘Project Americas’ leaks prove that Rockstar isn’t just adding empty space; they are adding detailed, usable, and enterable locations that will make Vice City feel like a living, breathing world.

How much bigger is the GTA 6 map compared to GTA 5? Based on the massive 2022 leaks and ongoing ‘Project Americas’ data, the GTA 6 map is projected to be at least 1.5 to 2 times larger than GTA 5’s Los Santos, covering not just Vice City but several surrounding towns, islands, and wilderness areas.
Rockstar Games is known for building massive, detailed worlds, but Grand Theft Auto 6 is shaping up to be their most ambitious project yet. While mainstream entertainment sites might tell you the map is simply “big,” we at Fraglio have analyzed every frame of the infamous 2022 leaks and combined them with recent insider information to give you the exact breakdown of the ‘Project Americas’ map expansion.
Here is exactly how the GTA 6 map compares to GTA 5, and every new location you need to know about.
1. The Raw Size Comparison: Vice City vs. Los Santos
The GTA 5 map, featuring Los Santos and Blaine County, was already huge. However, it was essentially one large city with lots of empty mountains. The GTA 6 map (Vice City) is designed differently. According to coordinates found in the leak data:
GTA 5 Map Area: Approximately 75-80 square kilometers.
GTA 6 Projected Map Area: Estimated between 130-150 square kilometers.
This means GTA 6 isn’t just a city; it’s a fictional state based on Florida. The distance between the main Vice City hub and surrounding towns will be significant, making vehicles like planes and helicopters more essential than ever.
2. Confirmed New Locations Outside Vice City
Mainstream coverage focuses only on “Vice City.” We have identified multiple specific locations from the leak footage and code analysis:
Port Gellhorn: A large industrial and agricultural town located in the northwest of the map. This is likely the “Paleto Bay” equivalent but much more detailed.
The Keys: A series of islands stretching to the south, replicating the real-world Florida Keys. This area is expected to feature unique water-based activities and smugglers’ outposts.
Ambrosia: A rural, marshland town based on the Florida Everglades.
Redhill: A mountain/hilly region confirmed by leaked assets, proving the map isn’t just flat swampland.
3. The ‘Enterable Buildings’ Game-Changer
This is where GTA 6 will truly leave GTA 5 behind. In GTA 5, 90% of the buildings were just “boxes” you couldn’t enter. Leak analysis confirms that GTA 6 has a dynamic system for “Enterable Interiors.”
GTA 5: Under 100 enterable interiors (including stores).
GTA 6: Code suggests over 500 enterable locations, including malls, specific hotel rooms, restaurants, and many residential buildings that can be robbed.
Fraglio’s Verdict: Why Mainstream Sites Miss the Point
Mainstream entertainment sites focus on surface-level news. They will tell you that the GTA 6 map is massive, but they won’t tell you the implications. The density, the enterable buildings, and the multiple distinct town hubs make this map a technological leap, not just a size expansion.
