Key West debate
According to Eurogamer, Grand Theft Auto 6 fans are currently torn over whether Key West will be included in the game. The discussion was reignited by a map leak that appears to show an early beta version of GTA 6's map without the famous Florida locale. Eurogamer notes this leak is separate from the CyberLeek posts from earlier in the summer, which also did not feature Key West, leading to theories that the location may have been planned and later cut.
The community is divided. Reddit user TheHulk305 argued, "I don't see why they'd work so hard doing all the keys and leave out the most important one Key West," while others speculate Key West may have been merged with other parts of the Florida Keys. Eurogamer cautions that all of this is speculation based on a leak that could itself be false.
What remains unknown
As Eurogamer points out, Grand Theft Auto games are not one-to-one recreations of real-world locations. A location absent from a leak could still appear smaller, renamed, or be alluded to nearby. The authenticity of the leaked map has not been independently confirmed, and Rockstar has not commented on the matter.
With GTA 6's release approaching in November per Eurogamer, fans are likely to keep dissecting every clue. Key West's inclusion, the leak's legitimacy, and the final map layout all remain unconfirmed.
