نقشه عظیم GTA 6 از همان اوایل بازی به‌طور کامل باز است

Unlike older titles in the franchise, the map of GTA 6 will not be locked behind prolonged story progression and will open up to gamers much earlier in the experience. Past games such as GTA 4 utilized police checkpoints and narrative gates to restrict access to new districts as players advanced through the plot, but Rockstar's upcoming release takes a notably different approach.

According to a report from Edge magazine, the state of Leonida will be available during the initial stages of the game. Although the opening segments focus on teaching mechanics and introducing characters, players will not need to spend dozens of hours in Vice City before exploring the northernmost regions of the map. This design choice recalls the open-ended freedom found in previous titles once their introductory phases concluded.

Aaron Garbut, co-head of Rockstar North, noted that the number of accessible interiors has multiplied significantly compared to previous Rockstar titles, with all of them designed by hand featuring extraordinary levels of detail.

The sheer scale and density of the environment mean that even the development crew continues to discover fresh locations after years of work. GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on November 18 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S consoles.
