IGN ran a report on August 27, 2026. Reports landed that date. GameSpot shared the piece. Polygon ran 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 released those figures the same day. The game also has 600,000 separate animations. That is double the animation work that was used in Red Dead Redemption 2. Players now have a direct look at how huge the new Rockstar game will be.
