IGN ran a report on August 27, 2026. Stories arrived that date. GameSpot shared the report. Polygon posted it too. They report the GTA 6 map is three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2. The map is twice as large as GTA 5. They call it Rockstar's most complex world yet.
Eurogamer shared those figures the same day. The game also has 600,000 separate animations. That is double the animation effort that was used in Red Dead Redemption 2. Players now gain a direct look at how vast the next Rockstar game will be.
