AN IMAGE purporting to reveal the in-game map of Grand Theft Auto 6 has emerged online.
The map, which was shared on 4Chan, features a section of what looks like a small island with a bustling city that gives way to rolling hills and forests.

Other details include what appears to be an airport, as well as a string of roads that snake across the virtual location.
It’s the latest in a string of rumours and so-called leaks about the hotly-anticipated crime simulator from American developer Rockstar.
Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA:V) came out way back in 2013, so gamers are desperate for a new entry to the series.
But Take Two and Rockstar are playing their cards close to their chest, keeping details of the yet-to-be-announced title a secret.
The latest 4Chan map “leak” was shared this week by an anonymous poster.
It looks like an updated version of a map that originally “leaked” three years ago.
A city appears in the top right, complete with a beach front and attached to what appears to be a large rural area and swamplands.
The map resembles the virtual world of Vice City, the 2002 GTA title that 6 is said to be based around.
Of course, there’s no way of knowing that the map image is legit, so take it with a huge pinch of salt for now.
Fake maps for upcoming Rockstar games have been posted online before, such as the “leaked” map for Bully 2 that went viral in 2019.
We likely won’t know anything concrete on GTA 6 until Rockstar officially announced the game ahead of its rumoured 2023 launch.
Last year, alleged details about the game surfaced online.
A purported former employee of Rockstar leaked apparent info about the game, including the names of the main characters.
In it, the anonymous poster claimed the hotly-anticipated game’s map will mirror the one in GTA San Andreas, with three cities and one smaller town.
However, it will apparently be larger than the maps of both GTA:V and Rockstar cowboy shooter Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) combined.
Players will follow four main characters through the game’s story mode, the poster said.
