Even as Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) takes its time to arrive, fans are already marveling at the game’s sheer size and scale compared to previous Rockstar Games releases. From leaked file sizes to fan-made maps, the community is keeping the hype alive while waiting for official updates. Here’s what’s fueling the excitement.

The Leaked File Size
Recent leaks suggest that GTA VI could require a whopping 200 GB of storage space, making it one of the largest games ever. While this claim is unverified, it aligns with Rockstar’s history of creating expansive, detailed open worlds. For comparison:
- GTA V required over 70 GB.
- Red Dead Redemption 2 took up 120 GB.
The potential file size has fans even more excited, as it hints at the depth and detail Rockstar is packing into the game.
Fan-Made Map Comparisons
In the absence of official updates, fans are taking matters into their own hands. YouTube channel Dark Space created a fan-made rendition of GTA VI’s map by analyzing the trailer and leaks. The video compares the new map to GTA V’s, showcasing just how much bigger and more detailed the next installment could be.
Fans are loving the creativity, with comments like:
- “This kind of creativity is what you get when it takes over a year to get another trailer.” – @GamingGrenade1
- “Someone cooked here.” – @Adam_X78
The attention to detail in the fan-made map has left the community impressed, with some joking that the creator might “finish GTA VI before Rockstar releases the second trailer.”
Why the Hype?
The sheer scale of GTA VI is a major draw for fans. From its massive map to its next-gen features, the game promises to deliver an unparalleled open-world experience. While Rockstar has been tight-lipped, the community’s creativity and speculation are keeping the excitement alive.
