Grand Theft Auto 6 map size estimated to be twice as big as GTA 5

A prominent YouTuber has recently unveiled a meticulously crafted recreation of the highly anticipated GTA 6 map. Drawing inspiration from leaked information and employing advanced mapping techniques, the creator has visually brought to life the expansive virtual world that players can expect to explore in the upcoming game.

This digital masterpiece provides fans with a tantalizing glimpse into the future of the Grand Theft Auto series, fueling excitement and speculation about the possibilities that await within the boundaries of this expansive virtual metropolis.

What we know about the GTA 6 map

The recreated GTA 6 map showcases an expansive urban area and several additional cities, with Vice Beach being one notable example, thereby providing a more comprehensive understanding of the game's geography and scale.

The recreated map shows a prominent central lake and sprawling swamp areas in the south, adding to the overall sense of scale and geography.

Although the graphics are somewhat lacking in comparison to what we can expect from the actual game, the recreated map still offers significant insight into the overall design and scale of the GTA 6 world.

Despite numerous inquiries and speculations, Rockstar Games has thus far remained tight-lipped about any official information related to the game's release date or upcoming promotional materials.

Map twice as big

By utilizing leaked data from the past, DarkSpace managed to accurately replicate the dimensions of the Leonida map within the constraints of the in-game environment.

The feature allows users to compare GTA 6's map alongside GTA 5's in various aspects. According to the video, it took around six minutes to fly from one end of the GTA 6 map to the other. In contrast, it took only three minutes and thirty seconds to complete the same journey in GTA 5.

The fact that it takes almost twice as long to fly across the GTA 6 map compared to GTA 5 implies that the new game's world is roughly double the size of its predecessor.

Leaked information re-examines details

Reddit users have been thoroughly scrutinizing leaked information from a period spanning up to two years ago, carefully re-examining details that might have previously been overlooked.

According to one user's analysis, the file size of the GTA 6 developer build was approximately 80 GB, indicating a considerable gap between this preliminary estimate and the anticipated final game size, which may exceed 120 GB, thereby underscoring the immense scale and complexity of the game's virtual environment.

The significant discrepancy between the estimated file sizes of the GTA 6 build and the potential final game suggests that the latter could be significantly larger, with a possible excess of 120 GB over the initial estimate, indicating an enormous map and a plethora of intricate details.

Although these speculations have yet to be officially confirmed, fans are growing increasingly enthusiastic about the prospect of immersing themselves in the vast and intricately detailed virtual environment that GTA 6 is expected to offer upon its eventual release.

Anticipation grows for Grand Theft Auto 6

With the prolonged delay still lingering, excitement among fans is escalating rapidly as they eagerly anticipate experiencing a vast and intricately detailed map that promises to redefine the Grand Theft Auto franchise with its boundless open-world environment.

The excitement among fans is palpable as they look forward to experiencing an incredibly large and detailed map, offering a boundless open-world environment that will likely redefine the GTA series. The release date is still set for late 2025, according to publisher Take-Two.

As more information becomes available, fans will continue to speculate and theorize about the game's potential features and gameplay.
