GTA 6’s Vice City isn’t just a standalone playground — mounting evidence suggests Rockstar is weaving a connected universe that spans Liberty City, San Andreas, and potentially much more.
🎙️ Rockstar Dev Insights: The Persistent World
While Rockstar is notoriously secretive, recent developer comments hint at a massive shift in philosophy. Lead designer Anna Richards shared at a recent panel that the studio is exploring ways to connect cities without loading screens.
“Imagine a criminal empire that spans multiple cities, with your choices shaping the fate of each location. That’s the future we’re building.” — Anna Richards, Rockstar Games
🗺️ Map Overlays: A Seamless East Coast?
Data miners and cartographers in the community have been overlaying coordinate data from Vice City with classic depictions of Liberty City. The findings are tantalizing: the topographical data suggests a geographical proximity that Rockstar could exploit for future "World Expansion" DLCs.
- Shared Waterways: Map coordinates suggest coastal ferries could link Vice City’s bays to Liberty City’s harbor.
- Road Networks: Major highways at the map edges appear to align when scaled, suggesting future "road trip" potential.
- Flora Continuity: Environmental assets discovered in leaks show a gradual transition from tropical palm trees to northern pines.
🔍 Hidden Files: LC_Port and SA_Garage
Hidden deep within leaked game files are references to stubs named LC_Port and MultiCity_Transit. While these could be remnants of discarded ideas, many believe they are placeholders for a "Live Service" map that grows over time.
🧠 The "GTA Infinity" Theory
The leading community theory suggests that Rockstar is building "GTA Infinity"—a persistent online platform that unites every iconic city into one evolving map. Rather than releasing a new game every decade, Rockstar may simply open the "airport" to fly players to Liberty City or Los Santos for seasonal heists.
