Rockstar Confirms One Thing Missing From the GTA 6 Map Many Fans Wanted
Rockstar said the sequel will instead use selective Florida-inspired landmarks and parody references to build its open world.
- On Tuesday, Rockstar Games confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6, set in the fictional state of Leonida, will not feature direct spoofs of Florida-based theme parks like Disney World or Universal Studios.
- Paul MacPherson, Rockstar's senior vice president of environment art, explained the team must "constantly evaluate" landmarks to serve the game's needs while achieving a "full Florida experience."

- The expansive map will feature over 170 types of animals accessible in a dedicated zoo, though questions remain about parody intensity following Dan Houser's 2020 departure from Rockstar.
