GTA 6 is widely expected to be larger and denser than GTA 5, but the exact size depends on whether you mean map area, playable interiors, or overall content. Current reporting and fan-based estimates point to GTA 6 being about 70% bigger than GTA 5 in map area, with some estimates putting it at roughly 2x the size overall.

What “bigger” means

  • Map size: One estimate says GTA 6 is around 70% larger than GTA 5, while another fan analysis suggests about 2.7x bigger in certain comparisons.
  • Playable space: GTA 6 is also being described as having far more enterable buildings and interior spaces than GTA 5, which would make the world feel much bigger even beyond raw square mileage.
  • Storage/file size: There are also rumors that GTA 6 will need significantly more storage space, which lines up with the idea that it will be a much larger game overall.
