Game Informer's issue #382 cover story on Grand Theft Auto VI went live on September 29, and the coverage reported by Push Square puts numbers on the map for the first time. Leonida is described as about twice the size of GTA 5's world, with considerably more density packed in. Six regions are named: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. Thirteen new screenshots accompany the piece, showing Jason and Lucia in both quiet and action-heavy moments.
The feature also covers the living world. Rockstar reportedly simulates around 170 types of wildlife, including roughly 60 kinds of birds and about 30 land mammals, while the weather system builds on the approach used in Red Dead Redemption 2, leaving visible effects such as puddles and rainbows after a storm. Activities listed include air boating, base jumping, billiards, gym training, jet skiing, kayaking, mini golf, scuba diving, street and off-road racing, and zoo visits.
Why it matters: this is the first official size comparison and region list ahead of the November 19 launch, and it fills in what players can do outside the main story. It changes nothing about editions, prices or the pre-order bonus window, so the pre-order tracker is unchanged, but expect map and activity pages to be revisited as more of the issue's details surface.
