How Big Is the GTA 6 Map?
Rockstar hasn’t confirmed the exact size, but the map is widely expected to be the largest in series history, spanning the city of Vice City plus surrounding countryside, swamps, and outlying areas. A bigger, denser world is one reason GTA 6 is expected to be demanding on PC — see our estimated GTA 6 system requirements.
