GTA 6's Map Is Three Times Bigger Than RDR2 and Twice the Size of GTA 5

Aug 28, 20266 sources0 comments

Rockstar Games has officially confirmed the staggering scale of Grand Theft Auto 6's open world, and the numbers are hard to wrap your head around. The game's full map is three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's already sprawling landscape and twice as large as GTA 5's Los Santos, meaning you could fit two complete GTA 5 maps inside GTA 6 with room to spare. Rockstar shared these figures as part of a large info blowout, giving fans and press their clearest picture yet of just how ambitious the studio's next release truly is.

Vice City itself is the headline figure within that larger map. According to reports, the city is roughly twice the size of Los Santos on its own, but the density gap is even more jaw-dropping: Vice City reportedly features over ten times the populated area of GTA 5's urban zones. Beyond the city limits, the surrounding countryside and open regions round out a world that, by Rockstar's own account, will take players around 80 hours to beat. That runtime puts GTA 6 firmly among the longest single-player experiences the studio has ever shipped, and suggests the sheer amount of content being packed into every corner of that enormous map.
