How big is the GTA 6 map?

Rockstar has not published a square-mile figure. Rockstar North co-studio head Aaron Garbut told Game Informer the map is about twice the size of GTA V's and the studio's biggest by some degree. A New York Times interview reportedly described it as about three times RDR2's playable area.

GTA 6 Map Size

Rockstar now puts it at about twice the size of GTA V, and its biggest map by some degree. That is an official but relative figure. No Rockstar source gives a square-mile number, so anything precise you see online is an estimate.

Confirmed

What we can say safely

Rockstar North co-studio head Aaron Garbut told Game Informer (issue 382, 29 September 2026) the map is about twice the size of GTA V's and Rockstar's biggest by some degree.
Garbut framed the bigger change as density: more interiors, rooftops and alleys rather than empty space.
Named regions: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park.
Rockstar has confirmed Leonida as the state setting, with Vice City at the centre of the public reveal.
The site database currently tracks confirmed trailer or official-material locations separately from community mapping.
Rockstar has not published a square-mile figure, a full road map, or a complete POI list.

Not confirmed

Where size claims go wrong

Trailer horizon shots cannot produce a reliable square-mile count on their own.
Fan map composites are useful for orientation, but they are not official scale data.
Comparisons with GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 should be treated as planning context, not measurement.
