Cuban flag in official GTA 6 screenshots fuels speculation of expanded map

Send Push
Rockstar Games recently released a new set of official GTA 6 screenshots, and fans have already begun dissecting every pixel for clues. One detail that stood out is the appearance of a Cuban flag in one of the images, sparking widespread speculation about a potential storyline connection to Cuba or a broader, international game map. This simple visual cue may have significant implications for the game’s setting and scope.


Cuban flag appears in screenshots suggests greater game world





In one of the official GTA 6 images, a Cuban flag is subtly visible, a detail that has sparked fresh speculation among fans. But for keen-eyed gamers, this was a major tip. Its appearance has suggested many that the game might feature Cuban characters, a Cuban-themed environment, or plotlines grounded in Caribbean culture.


This aligns with earlier fan speculations that the character Raul Bautista, introduced through official GTA 6 materials, may have Cuban ancestry. Although Rockstar has confirmed Vice City as a hub location, the inclusion of foreign symbols such as the Cuban flag suggests that GTA 6 may not be limited to the United States' borders.


Could GTA 6’s map extends beyond Vice City into international territory?


The inclusion of the Cuban flag does imply that GTA 6 is more than just a return to the traditional Miami-inspired Vice City. Rumors now lean towards the inclusion of international travel, flashback, or missions in Cuba or in surrounding Caribbean countries. Rockstar has already demonstrated its ability to experiment with big, linked maps, and given the capabilities of today's consoles, a multi-nation layout is easily feasible.


Fans have also debated how the game's story could include smuggling, global crime syndicates, or political sideplots, places where a Cuban connection would be narratively justified. The theory that GTA 6 could cover multiple American states and even extend into the Caribbean has only increased steam since the screenshot's release.


Although Rockstar has not yet announced any storyline information concerning Cuba, the fact that the Cuban flag appears in the official screenshots is not coincidence at all. It feeds the speculation that GTA 6 will be the most ambitious open-world game Rockstar has ever undertaken, possibly set across multiple regions with a deeply layered narrative. For now, fans will continue to excavate every pixel, trying to extract more secrets before the game finally drops.
