GTA fans have been waiting for GTA 6 for a long time. Most of them want the next game in the series to bring back locations from previous games.
Since introducing HD Universe with GTA 4, Rockstar has been reintroducing locations from previous GTA games. Liberty City and San Andreas had their HD counterparts in GTA 4 and 5 respectively. These were not mere recreations, but had some major changes.
Liberty City's HD variant was well praised for its realistic portrayal of New York City. The new San Andreas was met with some disappointment. While GTA San Andreas had three distinct cities and their surrounding regions, GTA 5 only had one.
Whatever the reaction, it's clear that this is the trend HD gaming is following. As a result, it's only natural for fans to anticipate a return to a previously visited location in GTA 6.
GTA 6: Should the map return to previous GTA games?
The GTA series has a long history, starting in 1997. The first game featured three maps – Liberty City, San Andreas and Vice City. The sequel featured an alternate futuristic map called Anywhere City.
Rockstar recreated Liberty City from its first game in GTA 3, the first 3D title in the series. Subsequent games saw a remake of Vice City and San Andreas as well. Although San Andreas in the first title represented San Francisco, in GTA San Andreas it was an entire state.
San Francisco was portrayed by San Fierro, one of the three explorable cities in the game. In this way, Liberty City was revisited three times, while San Andreas was released twice. As a result, GTA fans are waiting for a remake of Vice City in GTA 6.
It would also be the most logical choice, as players would no doubt be ecstatic to be able to play in Vice City again. Even returning to the map of an older GTA title would be preferable to creating a new map.
The probability of a Vice City setting for GTA 6 is very high, considering that almost every leak has this in common. From the Project Americas leak to Tom Henderson and Jason Schreier's tweets, almost every source has mentioned Vice City as the next scenario.
Some have also hypothesized a combined map from previous games, which seems a little too ambitious even by Rockstar standards. However, this may be true as many GTA map mods are being discontinued. A popular mod called GTA United, which combined all 3D Universe maps in GTA San Andreas, has been removed by its developers.

While most fans believe this is another example of corporate greed, others believe this to be a hint of GTA 6 being set in an earlier game location.
Whatever the case, fans will likely see a return to a previous game location in GTA 6.
