Hey everyone, check out this major leak — the news that GTA 6's map is ridiculously huge is back. Recently, overseas leak blogger CONSOO released a set of data on how long it takes to cross the map, and it blew up the player community. Walking across the entire state of Leonida takes a full three hours. Driving across takes about 35 minutes, and flying over in a plane takes only 7 minutes. Compare that with GTA 5 and you can clearly see the difference: in GTA 5, crossing the map by plane takes about 23 minutes, driving takes a dozen or so minutes, and walking takes around two and a half hours. If this set of figures turns out to be accurate, then GTA 6's open world would take a massive leap in scale — a full three hours on foot.
That would mean the map is packed with city blocks, swamps and beaches, mountains, forests and wilderness, plus plenty of enterable interiors to explore. Map explorers would be thrilled. Even a plane needing 7 minutes to cross shows just how extreme Leonida's horizontal span is. But here's the key point — take note: all of this is currently just rumor. Rockstar has never officially confirmed any information about the map's size from start to finish. Ever since GTA 6 information started leaking, there has been a constant stream of map-size leaks of all kinds. This set of figures was most likely estimated based on early leaked maps and fan-made recreations, and could differ significantly from the final official version — or even be completely different.
Everyone should stay rational about this gossip and not treat it as confirmed fact. The game is scheduled to launch on November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the PC version still awaiting further news. So, friends, do you think this leak is credible? Do you prefer a huge map to wander around in, or are you worried that a map that's too big means hollow content and boring travel? Share your thoughts in the comments.
