GTA 6's Map Will Open Up Relatively Early and Let You Explore Freely, Developers Are Still Discovering New Parts of the World

GTA 6's world won't be blocked off by story progression, Rockstar confirms. In a new preview from Edge magazine (as relayed by the podcast GTA VI O'Clock ), Rockstar Games confirmed a ton of new details about GTA 6. One of the big bits revealed was that GTA 6's map will open up relatively early. In some GTA games, like GTA 4, the game forces you to progress through its story before you can access the entire map. GTA 4's Liberty City uses police blockades on bridges to make sure the world only expands as Niko continues his journey.
