IGN published a report on August 27, 2026. Reports arrived that date. GameSpot carried the report. Polygon shared it too. They say the GTA 6 map is three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2. The map is twice as huge as GTA 5. They term it Rockstar's most complex world yet.
Eurogamer released those figures the same day. The game also has 600,000 distinct animations. That is double the animation labor that was used in Red Dead Redemption 2. Players now gain a full look at how large the next Rockstar title will be.
