New information has emerged about GTA 6.

A report by Jason Schreier gives new clues about the size and setting of the new Rockstar title.

New York – Probably no other game is as much speculated as GTA 6. Developer Rockstar Games has given almost no information about the new entry in the "Grand Theft Auto" series.

Development is "well underway", but GTA fans still have to cling to leaks and theories.

As reported by IPPEN.MEDIA ingame.de, a report by expert Jason Schreier gives new insights into the development and reveals how big the GTA 6 map could be and what setting Rockstar Games and the parent company Take Two Interactive have planned.

What has become known?

In a new report by Jason Schreier, the insider talks about why GTA 6 is so long in coming.

But the well-known industry specialist not only speculates about what is happening behind the doors of the developer from New York, but also gives new insights into the content of GTA 6. GTA 6 should have a protagonist for the first time and should be less of an annoyance with humor.

The report and a subsequent thread on Reddit also provide new information detailing the size and setting of the GTA 6 map.

This implies that while the GTA 6 map will not necessarily be larger than previous installments, it could offer a deeper gameplay experience with more accessible buildings and less desert.

Thus, every corner, no matter how small, in GTA 6 could appear lively and more could be found in the buildings than the previous parts had to offer.

In order to burden the developers less, further cities and areas should be made available as DLC after the release – so the final result could still be much larger than Los Santos.

Where should GTA 6 play?

According to the Schreier report, GTA 6 will play in a modern setting that suggests a fictional Miami and surrounding areas.

Many fans wish that GTA 6 should return to the 70s, 80s, 90s or 2000s and Schreier does not consider these wishes unlikely either.
