GTA 6 fans have found another small detail from Rockstar’s Extended Look that they really like, and this time it is something players will probably be looking at almost constantly: the new minimap.

A new post on the GTA 6 subreddit has been getting a lot of attention after a fan praised the redesigned minimap, saying it looks much better than the versions seen in previous GTA games.

The post has already picked up more than 1,500 upvotes, with many players agreeing that Rockstar’s new design fits GTA 6 perfectly.

At first glance, the change might not seem like a big deal. It is still a minimap that helps players find their way around Leonida.

But Rockstar has clearly changed how it looks and how it presents the world around the player.

Instead of simply showing a flat map like GTA 5, the GTA 6 minimap appears much more modern and 3D, with buildings and roads giving players a better idea of the environment around them.

That has fans excited.

One of the biggest compliments from the Reddit discussion is that the new design feels like it belongs in a much newer game.

The original poster specifically praised the modern look, minimalist design and 3D buildings, saying they work especially well with GTA 6’s new map layout.

And there is another detail that could make the new minimap even more useful.

Fans noticed what appears to be an iFruit-style logo in the map interface shown during the Extended Look.

Some players believe this could mean the minimap will support navigation even when Jason or Lucia is walking around, something that was not available in the same way in GTA 5.

If that turns out to be true, it would be a small but useful upgrade.

GTA 6’s world is expected to be huge, with Rockstar putting much more focus on exploration and activities outside the main story.

The Extended Look showed players moving through Vice City and the wider Leonida region in a variety of ways, making a good navigation system more important than ever.

Rockstar’s official presentation also confirms that the footage was captured entirely from in-game gameplay on PS5.

The reaction to the new minimap has not been completely positive, though.

Some players are already asking whether Rockstar will allow them to zoom the minimap out further.

One highly upvoted comment said the new design looks fine as long as players can zoom out when needed.

That is a fair concern.

With GTA 6’s massive world, a minimap that is too zoomed in could become annoying when players are traveling long distances.

Being able to adjust the zoom would give players more control over how much of the surrounding area they can see.

Interestingly, some fans are also hoping Rockstar will offer different minimap styles, similar to the options available in Red Dead Redemption 2.

One commenter suggested that Rockstar could provide both a larger minimap and a more minimal version, allowing players to choose the style they prefer.

That would make sense for GTA 6.

Some players love having as much information as possible on screen, while others prefer a clean HUD that does not cover up the game world. Giving players a few options could keep both groups happy.

The minimap is also part of a much bigger change to GTA 6’s overall interface.

Rockstar has redesigned several parts of the game’s UI, and not everyone is convinced by the new look.

While some players think the cleaner design fits GTA 6, others have criticized the interface for looking too simple compared with previous Rockstar games.

The minimap, however, seems to be getting a warmer response.

That is especially interesting because fans were previously complaining about other parts of GTA 6’s interface, including the redesigned weapon wheel.

The minimap discussion shows that Rockstar’s UI changes are going to be one of those small details players will continue debating until launch.

But once GTA 6 actually releases, the new minimap could become something players barely think about.

After all, a good interface is supposed to disappear into the background.

You should be able to glance at the map, understand where you are going and get back to the action without thinking about the design.

And judging by the current reaction, Rockstar may have done exactly that with GTA 6.

The new minimap also looks especially good because it appears to match the game’s overall visual style.

GTA 6’s world is filled with detailed buildings, roads, beaches, highways and natural areas, so having a more three-dimensional map helps make the interface feel connected to the world itself.

That could become even more useful when players start exploring the less familiar parts of Leonida.

The Extended Look has already shown just how much Rockstar has packed into GTA 6, from Vice City’s busy streets to rural areas, waterways and a huge range of open-world activities.

With so much to explore, players are going to need a reliable way to find their way around.

For now, though, GTA 6 fans seem happy with what they have seen.

The new minimap may not be the kind of feature that sells millions of copies, but it is another example of Rockstar making small changes that could make a big difference once players are actually living in Leonida.

And if Rockstar gives players the ability to adjust the zoom and minimap style, this could end up being one of those little GTA 6 improvements that players appreciate every time they open the map.

GTA 6 is currently scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, and Rockstar still has time to make additional UI changes before release.

For now, though, the verdict from many fans is simple: the new GTA 6 minimap looks great.
