The newly launched GTA 6 pop-up store in London has led to pics of GTA 6’s physical map leaking online before it’s available to purchase.

While GTA 6 has already sold over eight million copies in pre-orders alone, and is set to be the most successful entertainment launch of all time, it’s not gone without some frustrated complaints from fans.

The lack of a physical release is a big one, but fans are also upset that physical copies of GTA 6’s map need to be bought separately. That’s despite the fact that, in the past, GTA games have come bundled with a map as a free bonus.

There won’t be any map available until the game’s launch next week, on November 19, but fans already have an idea of what it looks like thanks to the Selfridges pop-up store that launched in London this week.

Photos from the store have been circulating online, which depict the map being displayed as part of GTA 6’s collector’s edition.

The display map is folded up so you can’t make out much, but a photo of what the map looks like when opened has also been shared on X. Exactly who took the initial photo and how isn’t clear, but it’s suspected to be an employee of the store.

Unlike past physical maps, which were detailed enough to the point where you could use them to help find your way in-game, GTA 6’s one is more stylised and only offers the general locations of important areas and how its various counties are divided.

That’s to be expected, though. Rockstar’s only selling the map for 99 cents (about 75p) and given how huge GTA 6’s map will be in-game, the physical version was never going to be that detailed.

As a reminder, Rockstar will be offering digital downloads of the map for free via the Rockstar Store and while you can buy it physically for less than a £1, it’ll come as a freebie with anything you purchase from the store.
