There are a plethora of rumors and leaks related to the game that are available on the internet. One such popular remour is the possibility of returning to Vice City. Also known as the City of Fallen Angels, it was featured in the Grand Theft Auto series and mimicked the city of Miami, Florida.

5 ways how GTA 6 can improve upon Vice City’s map
1) More areas of interest
Vice City takes heavy inspiration from Miami, Florida. Rockstar Games can further expand upon the adaptation of real-life cities by introducing several new areas of interest.
Miami city has various famous amusement parks, race tracks, and stadiums that can be introduced with the Vice City map, giving players an added immersion into the digital world. Likewise, the game can also introduce smaller islands in the south direction referencing South America, adding more locations for the players to explore.
2) Bigger map size
The original map of GTA Vice City is much smaller compared to Los Santos in the latest game.
Rockstar can introduce Vice City again by increasing the overall size of the map, perhaps even more than Los Santos. While some players like the size of the Vice City as it was previously, a bigger map size will definitely give players new areas to explore, which adds to the gameplay elements.
Developers can include three islands in the upcoming game instead of two in the 3D Universe’s Vice City.

3) Underwater elements
Vice City in the 3D universe has some restrictions when it comes to underwater elements. Players cannot swim in GTA Vice City and can barely survive in Vice City Stories (VCS). Even the Definitive Edition has no water interaction.
Rockstar can introduce underwater elements in the upcoming game, just like San Andreas and the latest Grand Theft Auto 5. This will add to the overall immersion of the world and give players a chance to interact with various sea creatures as well as some hidden treasures if developers decide to include them.
