Grand Theft Auto 6 fans believe they may have discovered a copy of Vice City’s map in the game’s official image, and one gamer took a step further in analyzing this possible discovery. Ever since official information about Rockstar’s next game started to come out, fans have been obsessing about all GTA 6 details, and they may be on to something in this case.
The release of the first official GTA 6 trailer marked an important point for fans of the franchise. With over 150 million views at the moment, the GTA 6 trailer became the most-viewed game reveal ever on YouTube, and sparked a lot of debate about the upcoming title. However, despite all the information in the trailer, some fans are still obsessing about the game’s official image and extracting every single bit of information from there.

Lawrence 'Florida Joker' Sullivan continues his threats of legal action against Rockstar Games over the Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal trailer.
Now, one fan called NikTekOfficial has decided to analyze one of the hottest topics among fans: whether the GTA 6 official artwork has the Vice City map on it or not. The discourse started a few days ago when some fans found a very small poster on the right side of the image, and claimed it was the Vice City map. However, NikTekOfficial was the first to actually go in-depth to investigate, upscaling the image and then using a program to zoom in and change the background colors to improve its visibility. The gamer found the poster and then compared it to a leaked map of Vice City, finding some similarities between the two images.
While NikTekOfficial seems to have been on to something with their experiment, it’s actually hard to say if the map actually represents GTA 6's Vice City and its surrounding state, especially considering there are no official images of the region yet. While NikTekOfficial’s video does have some similarities with at least a portion of the game’s leaked map, it may be best to wait for an official announcement.
This is not the only interesting theory that GTA 6 fans have at the moment, though. Some fans have recently speculated that Lucia’s story was told in reverse in GTA 6’s trailer. By analyzing the official artwork and noticing the ankle monitor Lucia uses in it, and then reverting the order of the images in the trailer, these fans believe that instead of getting out of jail and then meeting the other protagonist, Lucia could have been involved with him from the start and then being arrested. It’s a theory that has interesting ramifications, as it could mean that Lucia will have her movement restricted at the beginning of the game.
