Against GTA V alone, the comparison is simpler. The new map is roughly twice as large, and that figure includes Vice City and the area around it. Rockstar had already said as much about the map before.
What is inside the GTA 6 map?
The world is the stage for a new story starring Jason Duval and Lucía Caminos. They are partners in crime, and the player decides how close the two get. We already knew both characters and some of the scenery from the official website and the second trailer.
Size is only part of it. Aaron Garbut, the studio's co-head and development chief, says the number of interiors has grown by an order of magnitude compared with earlier Grand Theft Auto games. He also says even the alleys are as carefully made and as interesting as everything else, and that many people have thought through every spot on the map.
Garbut says that after years of playing the game, in ever denser builds, he still finds places he has never seen. During one play session that morning he walked into a house he didn't know. One room had family photos of a dog. In the next, the dog had clearly wrecked the place while left alone. "Everything was destroyed. In one corner there was poop, a bit scattered across the floor," he said.
Red Dead Redemption 2 also influenced the development of GTA 6.
When does GTA 6 come out?
The game is due on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, according to Rockstar's official website.
