IGN ran an article on August 27, 2026. Accounts landed that date. GameSpot carried the story. Polygon posted it too. They report the GTA 6 map is three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2. The map is twice as huge as GTA 5. They term it Rockstar's most complex world yet.
Eurogamer shared those figures the same day. The game also has 600,000 separate animations. That is double the animation effort that was used in Red Dead Redemption 2. Players now get a direct look at how vast the new Rockstar game will be.
