A physical map of the game appears to have been accidentally displayed Image: Rockstar Games Sign in to your Polygon.com account With Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Games has already experienced some of the highest-profile leaks in gaming history, and it seems at least one more has snuck in before the game’s impending Nov. 19 release. Pictures are circulating of what appears to be a physical poster of GTA 6’s map. “The Goodtime State,” the top of the map reads. This refers to Leonida, the game’s fictionalized rendition of Florida. The map shows various counties that make up the game, with cartoonish characters highlighting each area’s defining characteristics. Two souped-up cars are shown racing to the west in Cellhorn, while a lowrider and an engine are shown in Cronstown to the east. Leonard County has what appears to be a cowboy with assless chaps playing golf, while Mariana County seems like it will be full of gators and fish. And of course, there’s Vice City — the main locale of Rockstar’s 2002 GTA 3 follow-up — which will be one of the main locations in GTA 6. How did the map leak? The map appears to have leaked as part of the ongoing merch events at Selfridges stores in London. One user claimed that the map was shown in a display highlighting what will be included in GTA 6’s $399.99 Collector’s Box. Rockstar’s description of the box (which doesn’t include a copy of the game) lists a “Double-Sided Souvenir Poster with Map of Leonida.” While the map shown in the display isn't entirely visible, the image above shows it unfurled, with one user speculating the picture “originated from a naughty Selfridges employee.” Another image posted on Reddit shows the backside of the map, which offers a topographical view of the fictional state. Rockstar previously revealed that GTA 6 will let players freely explore Leonida beyond Vice City, where players can perform activities like kayaking, mini golf, street racing, jet skiing, parachuting, sunbathing, cave diving, nightclubbing, base-jumping, and more. The game has been in development for quite a while, with principal production extending back to 2018 after the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2. We've gone 13 years without a new Grand Theft Auto. As you might expect, GTA 6 seems like it will be huge: Rockstar previously revealed that the game’s map is around three times larger than Red Dead Redemption 2. One employee said that it took them around 80 hours to get through the game’s main story.
