Rockstar Games shared a 20-minute extended gameplay look for Grand Theft Auto 6, giving players a clearer view of the game's scale and setting. The footage confirms the title is set in Leonida, a fictionalized version of Miami, Florida. This update matters because it provides the first substantial look at the world players will explore, moving beyond the initial trailer to show actual environmental density and design.

The game features high non-player character density and distinct character details that suggest a living, breathing open world. Players can also engage in underwater exploration, adding a new layer of interaction to the environment. Rockstar used this extended look to highlight these specific mechanics, showing how the world reacts to player presence and interaction.

YouTuber TGG reported specific map size figures after being invited to Rockstar North to see behind-the-scenes footage. According to the report, Rockstar developers stated the map is twice the size of Grand Theft Auto 5. The developers also claimed the map is three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2. These figures come directly from the developers during the private viewing, though they have not been officially published in a press release.

The report breaks down the size comparisons further for specific locations within the game world. Vice City itself is reported to be twice the size of Los Santos from the previous game. The entire Vice City area and its surrounding suburbs are reported to be 11 times larger than Los Santos and its surroundings. These details suggest a significantly larger playable area than fans might expect based on previous titles in the franchise.

We looked at earlier GTA 6 coverage while tracking these development updates. The extended gameplay video and the map size reports provide the most concrete details available about the game's scope. Rockstar Games continues to build anticipation through these targeted reveals, focusing on world scale and environmental detail.
