IGN ran a story on August 27, 2026. Accounts hit that date. GameSpot covered the piece. Polygon shared it too. They report the GTA 6 map is three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2. The map is twice as big as GTA 5. They term it Rockstar's most complex world yet.
Eurogamer shared those figures the same day. The game also has 600,000 separate animations. That is double the animation effort that was used in Red Dead Redemption 2. Players now gain a clear look at how large the new Rockstar game will be.
