We're slowly realising that Grand Theft Auto leaks are perhaps the greatest market for prospective video game industry insiders right now. Fans are in a fever, wondering what could come with what is expected to be one of the most popular video games ever released.

Many will simply believe anyone claiming to have a scoop, and It's hard to blame them. The leak market is pretty inundated, and equally, we're compelled all the same. Now, a new concept has appeared that indicates once again that GTA 6's scope far exceeds that of its predecessor.

GTA VI concept hints at huge new map

A new post shared to the GTA6 subreddit has used older leaks to prove just how massive the expected new map is - and it totally dwarfs the map of its predecessor.

User LivingSignificant555 has shared a new look at the map that was once shared in the subreddit by DuPzOr, claiming to be the map of GTA 6. Using coordinates, it's now been compared to that of GTA V's Los Santos.

Even at a glance, the difference is pretty massive, and though the layout of the land mass is certainly different, there's no doubt that the Vice City map as expected to feature in GTA 6 is truly huge.

That's even discounting the small islands that can be traversed from the bottom of the map, which add even further to the gigantic land mass that players can explore.

"It's going to be so great having a change of scenery," says one fan in the comments of the post. "I love watching people just drive about Miami on Youtube, then I'll watch the leaks and compare. Exploring that map is going to be so damn good, especially since there's more to find too."

"GTA 5 is a 360 game," adds another. "From two generations above and waiting nearly a decade I’d expect at least x2 the map size. But in all honesty I’d want x3 so that cars could be faster and there would be a point in using planes in story mode."

Hopes aside, if the leak is to be believed, we're in for a real whopper of a game. To be honest, it's what fans deserve at this point.
