It goes against the other renders created by the GTA 6 community which feature one single island. Instead, this new GTA 6 map features three distinct islands, the largest of which is reported to be the state of Leonida, or as it is more popularly known, Vice City.

While the information should be taken with a pinch of salt since it hasn't come from an official source, it only adds to the speculation about the world of GTA 6.
