IGN published a story on August 27, 2026. Accounts arrived that date. GameSpot carried the report. 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 big as GTA 5. They call it Rockstar's most complex world yet.
Eurogamer released those figures the same day. The game also has 600,000 distinct animations. That is double the animation effort that was built for Red Dead Redemption 2. Players now get a direct look at how huge the new Rockstar title will be.
