The map of Grand Theft Auto VI will be almost as large as the playable areas of GTA IV, GTA V, and Red Dead Redemption 2 combined. This information was revealed by Edge magazine in a special report about the highly anticipated Rockstar Games title, which was also reported by GamesRadar+. According to the article, the territory of Leonida, which includes Vice City and surrounding areas, will be approximately twice the size of the GTA 5 map.
Beyond the scale, Rockstar is betting on rich detail to make the open world more realistic. The game will have around 600,000 animations for non-playable characters (NPCs), twice the size of Red Dead Redemption 2. A team based in Los Angeles worked on creating these characters, who will have their own characteristics, such as temperament and level of aggression. Reactions may also vary depending on the location, the situations witnessed, and the player's behavior.
