GTA 6 Map Will Be Twice the Size of GTA 5 and Three Times the Size of Red Dead Redemption 2

Posted on
Rockstar developers reportedly described Leonida as twice the size of GTA 5 and three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2, underscoring the scale of GTA 6.

Quick Report

The first official gameplay reveal for GTA 6 showed a massive world, and the article points to a behind-the-scenes statement from a creator who spoke with Rockstar developers. According to that account, the map is twice the size of GTA 5 and three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2, with Vice City itself described as far larger than Los Santos and its surrounding areas.

The scale is impressive, but the real challenge is preserving a sense of life and activity across such a wide space. The article argues that Rockstar has the track record and technical craft to pull that off, although the game will still need to avoid feeling empty, which has been the main concern with large open-world designs in recent years.
