IGN published a story on August 27, 2026. Accounts landed that date. GameSpot covered the piece. Polygon shared it too. They state the GTA 6 map is three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2. The map is twice as large 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 distinct animations. That is double the animation effort that went into Red Dead Redemption 2. Players now have a clear look at how vast the new Rockstar title will be.
