A closer look at “GTA 6 Report Reveals Original Project Americas Scope, Delays, and $600M in Pre-Sales”, exactly as the source publishes it. Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6, launching November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, could have arrived years earlier and featured a much larger map spanning North and South America, according to a new Bloomberg report. The game, originally codenamed Project Americas, was planned in 2015 when a small Rockstar team visited Miami. However, the scope was pared down to focus on Vice City and the fictional state of Leonida, a Florida stand-in that includes locations like Port Gellhorn and the Leonida Keys.
The map is still three times bigger than Red Dead Redemption II's. Development was delayed several years when Rockstar shifted staff to finish Red Dead Redemption II in 2018, a decision that Rob Nelson says will pay off for GTA 6. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
