How the GTA 6 Map Size Stacks Up to Other Rockstar Games Like RDR2 and GTA 5
Grand Theft Auto 6's map is significantly larger than Rockstar's previous games; here's how it compares to the studio's other titles.
Grand Theft Auto 6's game world is substantially larger than the maps in Rockstar Games' previous titles, according to the developer. The map for GTA 6 is three times bigger than the playable area of Red Dead Redemption 2, twice the size of Grand Theft Auto 5, and Vice City within GTA 5 is twice the size of Los Santos in GTA 5. Vice City and its suburbs are 11 times bigger than Los Santos and its surroundings.
Additionally, the GTA 6 map features hundreds of accessible interiors, unlike GTA 5 where players could only enter the homes of their characters and some shops. GTA Online in GTA 5 also had limited accessible interiors that required loading screens and were restrictive. Rockstar Games' Rob Nelson explained that the team applied lessons from Red Dead Redemption 2 to create a more consistent and detailed world in GTA 6.
The developer aimed to create a vast, complex, and densely populated world for players to explore and get lost in, continuing the progression from previous Rockstar Games titles.
