GTA VI Map Size: What Official Leonida Footage Proves

Official Rockstar material is used for sourced commentary; no AI-created gameplay appears. This video uses only public Rockstar material. No leaked footage appears. FIRST PUBLIC: 2026-08-27 How large is GTA VI's Leonida map? Rockstar has not published a numerical area. This video adds a frame-by-frame measurement from the official Extended Look: during one driving shot with no visible editorial cut, the navigation readout falls from 0.85 mi at 12:32 to 0.38 mi at 13:02. We test what that 0.47-mile HUD change can support, audit the local minimap geometry, count Rockstar's six currently highlighted destinations, identify the terrain types official assets actually show, and mark the exact point where measurement becomes guessing. Any fan-made area, border, comparison ratio, or travel-time total mentioned by viewers remains an UNVERIFIED COMMUNITY CLAIM unless Rockstar publishes it or the released game permits a reproducible measurement.
