The open world of GTA 6 might be even bigger than fans originally thought, potentially dwarfing the map of Red Dead Redemption 2. This is an impressive claim, considering Red Dead Redemption 2’s sprawling map was already one of the largest and most detailed in gaming, designed for last-gen consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
However, Grand Theft Auto VI is being built with cutting-edge hardware in mind, which means its world could be even more expansive and detailed.
GTA 6 Fans Are Mapping It Out
Ever since the first GTA VI trailer dropped, fans have been analyzing it frame by frame, trying to piece together a potential map. Various landmarks seen in the trailer have been pinpointed, and distant vistas are fueling speculation about the game’s scale.
One screenshot of what is presumed to be Vice City’s beach has garnered significant attention. Fans believe that this massive promenade is just a small fraction of the overall map. Reddit user boogymann0 shared their thoughts,
“Just to put this into perspective. This whole area in the photo is only that much of the entire map. Correct me if I’m wrong about this, but this is actually insane. The scale of this map is mind-boggling.”
A Map Full of Possibilities
While the map’s size is exciting, the real question is how Rockstar plans to populate it. In GTA V, a substantial portion of the map consisted of wilderness and mountainous areas, which, while scenic, didn’t always offer much in terms of gameplay.
Fans are curious whether GTA 6 will include similar expanses of nature or lean more heavily into urban environments. Since Red Dead Redemption 2 was set in a historical period, its wilderness felt authentic and integral to the experience. For GTA 6, however, players are likely expecting bustling cities filled with life, alongside quieter areas to stage dramatic chases or escape sequences.
A Massive World Awaits
No matter how Rockstar balances these elements, it’s clear that GTA VI’s map will be a standout feature. With the latest technology at their disposal, the developers are likely aiming to deliver an immersive world that feels both enormous and vibrant.
