IGN ran a story on August 27, 2026. Accounts landed that date. GameSpot shared 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 big as GTA 5. They label it Rockstar's most complex world yet.
Eurogamer gave those figures the same day. The game also has 600,000 separate animations. That is double the animation labor that went into Red Dead Redemption 2. Players now get a clear look at how large the next Rockstar game will be.
