GTA 6 Map Size
The hype for Grand Theft Auto VI has reached a new peak, and this time it’s all about scale. While Rockstar Games has been characteristically secretive, a dedicated community of fans is piecing together the puzzle of the game’s world, and their findings are staggering.
According to a detailed analysis shared by a Reddit user, the map for GTA 6 is projected to be roughly 2.7 times larger than the entire state of San Andreas from GTA 5. Even when adjusting for the unique “panhandle” geography of the GTA 6 map, it still comes in at an impressive 2.4 times the size of its predecessor.
This dramatic difference has left the gaming community stunned. For years, the world of GTA 5, with its blend of urban Los Santos and vast rural areas, has been the benchmark for open-world scale. The idea of exploring a world nearly three times that size is a thrilling prospect for players dreaming of getting lost in Vice City and its surrounding state of Leonida.
It is crucial to note that this is not an official map from Rockstar Games. This projected size is based on the “GTA 6 Mapping Project,” where fans have meticulously analyzed every frame of the released trailers and promotional materials to construct a potential layout of the game world.

This community-driven effort, while impressive, comes with a major caveat: it likely only shows a fraction of what Rockstar has built. The current fan-made map shows Vice City appearing slightly smaller than Los Santos, which many believe is a deliberate misdirection by the developers to hide the full scale of the final product.
The reaction among fans is a mix of exhilaration and cautious optimism. Comments on the Reddit post range from hopeful to humorous. “I really hope we don’t know half of it, and there’s so much more to the map than we’ve seen,” shared one user, echoing a common sentiment that Rockstar is holding its cards close to its chest.
Another user speculated, “I’m certain that we don’t even know more than at least 50% – 60% of the map yet.” Others already imagined the gameplay implications, with one fan joking, “Can’t wait for the online missions that require us to drive an annoyingly slow vehicle from the top of the map all the way to the bottom.”

With the game’s release still several months away, it may be a long wait before Rockstar unveils the official, complete map. For now, these fan estimates provide a tantalizing glimpse into the massive virtual playground that awaits, but as with all speculation, it’s best to take it with a grain of salt until the developers make it official.
