Rockstar Deleted 4 Names From the GTA 6 Map. Here's Why

On 24 September 2026, Rockstar's own $400 GTA 6 collector's poster showed four island names on the Leonida map: Sandbars, Crude Islands, and two cut-off names. Hours later, Rockstar erased all four. Here's every real clue about what Crude Islands could be: where it sits on the map, the real Florida islands west of the Keys (the Dry Tortugas and Fort Jefferson), the 1983 Everglades City smuggling raid, and Rockstar's own October screenshots of armed men on an airboat and a hammerhead shark. Then my theory, clearly labelled, of what happens if you go there on day one. What do you think Crude Islands is? Best theory gets pinned.
