GTA 6: A Map Comparison Reveals a World Twice the Size of GTA 5

In the realm of video games, the adage "bigger isn't always better" rings true, particularly when it comes to open-world experiences. While vast expanses to explore can be enticing, without rich and diverse content, the appeal diminishes.

Recent buzz surrounding GTA VI's map compared to its predecessor, GTA V, has sparked interest. The upcoming release from Rockstar Games seems poised to dwarf its predecessor in size, and considering GTA V's already expansive world, this is quite the feat.

For those not up to speed on GTA VI developments, fans have been diligently piecing together an estimated map. This map is said to feature the state of Leonida (based on Florida) and include Vice City (based on Miami). Utilizing trailers, Florida's geography, and leaks, virtual cartographers have crafted a detailed representation, albeit speculative.

On the GTA VI subreddit, a fan shared an image overlaying the new map with GTA V's map, showcasing a notable size difference that has impressed enthusiasts.

"Honestly, exploring the map itself is a game for me," one fan remarked. "The story will just be icing on the cake."

According to calculations by a GTA Forums user named lxr, this speculative GTA VI map spans 125 square kilometers, making it 2.55 times larger than GTA V. For context, Red Dead Redemption 2's map measured 75km², emphasizing the scale of this forthcoming title.

As anticipation builds for GTA VI, the promise of an expansive world teeming with possibilities is sure to captivate players worldwide.
