A recent update to the GTA 6 mapping project, released on April 12, 2024, indicates a substantial increase in land area compared to previous versions. According to observations by GTAForums user lxr, the potential map size could be 2.55 times that of GTA 5. The mapping project, undertaken by enthusiasts, draws upon leaked information and official trailers to speculate on the layout of GTA 6's map.

The calculations within the project are based on units derived from Rockstar Games' proprietary game engine, RAGE, allowing for rough comparisons between the speculated map of the sequel and that of the 2013 title. However, it's essential to approach this data with caution.

Fan Speculations and Project Accuracy

The latest iteration of the GTA 6 mapping project, version 0.045, reportedly covers an area of 125 square kilometres, as noted by lxr. This estimate suggests a significant expansion over the landmass seen in GTA 5. Accompanying this observation is a comparison image showcasing the differences between the two maps. 

While this mapping project remains speculative, it's worth noting that a similar fan-led initiative preceded the release of GTA 5 and was remarkably close to the official version. If the current project's estimations hold any accuracy, GTA 6 could represent a substantial advancement in map size compared to its predecessor.
