The buzz is reaching a fever pitch among the Grand Theft Auto, a.k.a. GTA, fans, with map enthusiasts spiraling with new rumors and details about Rockstar Games’ upcoming release, GTA 6.
On the interactive platform map.gtadb.org, map enthusiasts have been using it to piece together the in-game geography of both GTA 5 and the upcoming GTA 6.
According to the website, the aim is nothing short of audacious: “to find out the real-life parallel of every single in-game building in GTA 6.”
GTA 6 enthusiasts globally are playing their part in this effort, ensuring the project remains a living, community-driven resource long after launch.
The new update, V9, revealed a couple of changes to Vice City, the iconic landmark of GTA 6.
The prominent changes include a revamped Vice City, new layouts, relocated mountains, and overhauled areas like Peacock Bay.

These updates target making the community-driven map as authentic and interactive as possible, enabling players to scout the map and strategize their navigation pre-launch.
A detailed YouTube video, noted by Indy100, spotlights every update—from moved landmarks to completely overhauled locations.
The project highlights the enthusiasm and commitment of the GTA community, which has been the key factor in creating fan-driven content, guides, and tools for previous entries in the franchise.
Fans have stormed the comments section, speculating about what the final map will look like once GTA 6 officially rolls out.
As soon as the video was posted on YouTube, it grabbed the attention of eagle-eyed users.
One such user wrote, “I’m pretty sure the map will only have Florida and Georgia in it.
To say Alabama will be in it is false. The sugar refinery you refer to is in Clewiston, Florida. This map won't have 5 states across the dam country in it lol. If you’re going to make videos, get your facts straight buddy.”
Another commenter wrote, “This mapping community still blows my mind.”
The third user, dashing the fan’s hopes, advised everyone to enjoy other things in life. He commented, “For everyone waiting, it’s ok. Go live your life, enjoy yourself, and find new experiences to enjoy in the meantime. It will release when it does.”
A fourth user jumped in, “I really hope Cape Canaveral is in the game, it would be such a cool location.”
From sharp fact-checking to hopeful speculation, the comments showcase a community deeply invested in building the world of GTA 6 long before they can ever play it.
