Rockstar Games’ first-ever third-person shooter, GTA 3, has a map size of 4.38 km2. Twelve years later (GTA 5), the map size increased by almost 1000%.
Jason Schreier (a credible video game journalist) reported GTA 6’s development has started since 2014. We’ve seen bits of the progress when Rockstar released the first trailer.
GTA 6’s map is speculative, but we’ll discuss everything we know on this page.
EDITOR NOTE: GTA-Xtreme’s many commitments include delivering reliable news about GTA 6 without misleading readers. If speculations are confirmed or proven false, we’ll correct them accordingly.

How Big is the Map of GTA 6?
Since the 2022 leak and the ongoing VIMAP project, many speculators have joined the discussion. If Aaron Garbut’s “alleged” son is correct, the map of GTA 6 would be around 150+ km2.
Aaron Garbut is the current development and co-studio head at Rockstar North. Because of that, it’s safe to say that leaks related to him are close to credible.
For context, here are all GTA games and their map size:
