IGN published a report on August 27, 2026. Stories hit that date. GameSpot covered the piece. 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 huge as GTA 5. They label it Rockstar's most complex world yet.
Eurogamer shared those figures the same day. The game also has 600,000 distinct animations. That is double the animation labor that went into Red Dead Redemption 2. Players now get a clear look at how large the upcoming Rockstar game will be.
