The studio revealed these details through Game Informer, emphasizing the expanded scale as a core pillar of the new entry's design.

A map twice the size of GTA V signals Rockstar's commitment to density and exploration over pure landmass, shaping how missions, traversal, and player freedom will function at launch.
