This article compares what is currently knowable about the GTA 6 map against the documented GTA 5 map.
GTA 5 baseline
GTA 5 ships a single contiguous map covering Los Santos and Blaine County. Total area is approximately 49 square miles. Ocean accounts for a significant portion.
GTA 6 interpretation
Trailer footage suggests a map at least comparable in land area to GTA 5 plus significantly more ocean. The state of Leonida implies a multi-city geography. Estimates of 2–3x GTA 5 area are common but unverified.
AnalysisMap size comparisons are best treated as ranges, not point estimates, until Rockstar publishes data.
Frequently asked questions
Will GTA 6 have multiple cities like San Andreas?
Trailers imply multiple settlements but no Rockstar confirmation of multiple distinct cities.
Is the GTA 6 map confirmed bigger than GTA 5?
