IGN published a story on August 27, 2026. Accounts landed that date. GameSpot covered the story. Polygon ran it too. They say the GTA 6 map is three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2. The map is twice as huge as GTA 5. They call it Rockstar's most complex world yet.
Eurogamer gave those figures the same day. The game also has 600,000 separate animations. That is double the animation effort that went into Red Dead Redemption 2. Players now have a clear look at how huge the next Rockstar game will be.
