Rockstar Games gave the world its first official look at Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay in a 20-minute extended preview that aired on Netflix. The showcase highlighted shootouts, cutscenes, driving mechanics, and a spectacular sequence where Lucia leaps off a skyscraper overlooking the sprawling state of Leonida.

YouTuber TGG, who received a behind-the-scenes look at the game, asked Rockstar developers directly about the map's scale. According to TGG, "The map is twice the size of GTA 5's map. Three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's map. Vice City itself is twice the size of Los Santos, and Vice City and its surrounding suburbs is 11 times bigger than Los Santos and its surroundings."

The massive playable area represents a tremendous technical achievement. However, sheer size alone doesn't guarantee quality. A large map can feel empty if not properly filled with content. Given Rockstar's proven track record with Red Dead Redemption 2 and the depth shown in the extended look, GTA 6 appears well-positioned to deliver both scale and substance.
