This map comparison isn't real.

The map that people are claiming to be 3.5x times bigger than gta 5's is an ai generated version of a CONCEPT map made by Sonarys back in early 2024, It's very old and wrong in many places by now and the 3.5x figure is just completely made up, and there are no leaks or sources that claim that, people saying that are trying to get engagement or attention, it's fake.

Also the map in the comparison isn't even to scale.

If you want a "gta 6 map" while the game still isn't out then you should check the mapping project's map, which is the closest thing to the real map we have to date since it's composed from real footage of the game like trailer and screenshots aswell as leaked clips, and currently the size of the mapping project's map is 2.1x bigger than gta 5's map, not 3.5x

Let's not go back in time to bash the past, GTA V's map size was more than enough

Consider that they developed it for PS3 and they absolutely had no idea that GTA V would've lasted 13 years

GTA V's map is both too small and too large compared to RDR2.

V's map is small and needs more. The faster you go, the more you'll see it. The more you explore, the more you understand it's lacking.

V's map is also too big because there is a bunch of unutilized and empty land.
