Fans find clues to expansive new world in official GTA 6 artwork

YouTuber NikTek took the investigation a step further, using color correction and image enhancement to compare the artwork with a map crafted from leaked gameplay footage. The results showed some alignment but also significant differences, hinting that the artwork's map may not represent the full extent of GTA 6's game world.

This intriguing discovery has sparked widespread speculation among fans, with theories ranging from the map being an intentional teaser to mere coincidence. Rockstar, known for, outside of controversies, their uncanny attention to detail and penchant for Easter eggs, has a history of embedding subtle hints in their promotional materials. The possibility of the GTA 6 map being cleverly hidden in the artwork aligns with the developer's style.

Further fueling the speculation, other fans have pointed out potential connections to Vice City's map in the artwork. In his deep dive into the image, NikTekOfficial found a poster resembling part of Vice City. This analysis is in line with the game's setting in Leonida and adds to the mounting excitement about exploring a modernized Vice City and its surrounding areas.

The GTA community's efforts to piece together information from official and leaked sources prove the painstaking detective work fans are willing to go through. As anticipation for GTA 6 continues to build, these theories and analyses only add to the excitement surrounding the game.

In the meantime, fans are cautioned against scams related to GTA 6, especially those offering fake pre-orders or alpha versions of the game for PC.

With the official release slated for 2025 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, any claims of early access or PC versions should be approached with skepticism.

Rockstar Games is currently tiding over fans with a healthy dose of classic GTA titles, starting with the release of the GTA Trilogy remaster on mobile platforms as well as Netflix.
