  • Quick Answer: This article confirms that the upcoming GTA 6 will feature a map significantly larger than any previous Rockstar title, offering unprecedented scale and density.

GTA 6 is no doubt shaping up to be the biggest release of the year, decade, or even century. Just a few weeks before its launch on November 19, Rockstar revealed that the map will dwarf those seen in GTA 4, GTA 5, and Red Dead Redemption 2… combined.

The information comes via a massive feature in EDGE magazine, with writers invited to Rockstar North’s HQ to get a glimpse of what awaits fans this November. The map size has been a point of discussion for years, and having confirmation that it’s going to be even bigger than anyone had anticipated has me—and likely everyone else—incredibly excited.

It’s not just about the sheer size of it, though; according to the developers, it’ll be densely packed. We’ve already seen glimpses of side activities like dirt bike racing, scuba diving, and more, so expect a fully lived-in open world.

The piece goes on to expand on how dense the open world will be, adding that GTA 6 will feature more interiors than any previous game in the franchise. Some of the prior entries suffered from a lack of depth. Sure, they were big, sprawling, open areas, but there was little to do in them. GTA 4 stuck with me in this sense because I wanted to immerse myself in the vibe of Liberty City, but the illusion broke down once you figured out there was barely anything going on—at least in the base game—outside main story missions and side quests.

It’s no wonder, then, that the game will need a reported 210 GB of storage space, at least on PS5. You better start deciding what’s getting uninstalled so you don’t get caught by surprise.
