IGN ran a report on August 27, 2026. Stories landed that date. GameSpot covered the report. Polygon ran it too. They state 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 unique animations. That is double the animation labor that went into Red Dead Redemption 2. Players now gain a clear look at how vast the next Rockstar title will be.
