# What are the Sandbars and Crude Islands in GTA 6?

Not confirmed: the names come from a since-replaced store image. A Rockstar store image of the GTA 6 Collector’s Edition poster showed four islands on the western side of the map, two labeled Sandbars and Crude Islands. Rockstar later removed the labels. Matching them to the island chain on our map is our inference.

- Unconfirmed — The names were read from an image Rockstar later replaced. That they are this particular island chain on our schematic is our inference from the fan map.
