The GTA 6 map is about twice the size of GTA 5's and three times Red Dead Redemption 2's playable area, according to Rockstar North's Rob Nelson. Rockstar has not given a size in square miles.
GTA 6 map size vs GTA 5 and RDR2
| Compared with | GTA 6 | What Rockstar said |
|---|---|---|
| GTA V (Los Santos & Blaine County) | 2x | Leonida is about twice the size of GTA V's map |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | 3x | about three times RDR2's playable area |
| Vice City vs Los Santos | 2x | the city alone is about twice Los Santos |
| Built-up area outside the city | 11x | about eleven times the built-up area outside Los Santos |
The last row matters most for how the map feels. GTA V had one city and mostly empty countryside; Leonida adds towns, suburbs and a second, smaller city in Port Gellhorn, so much more of the map has streets and buildings to explore.
Square miles: what the estimates say
Fan mapping projects, which piece the map together from trailer footage, have put Leonida at roughly 2 to 2.7 times GTA V depending on the version and whether water counts. GTA V's own size is quoted anywhere from about 30 to 49 square miles, because some measure land only and others the whole map border, so square-mile figures for GTA 6 vary just as widely. Treat any single number as an estimate until the game is out.
