When Rockstar dropped GTA 5 back in 2013, it was hailed as a revolution in open-world gaming. At the time, its map felt endless—Los Santos and Blaine County gave players a playground that seemed impossible to fully explore. But now, with GTA 6 leaks swirling online, the conversation has shifted: could Rockstar be preparing to completely dwarf the world of GTA 5? Let’s break down the key differences between the two maps, point by point.
GTA 5: Roughly 81 square kilometers, combining the city of Los Santos with its surrounding countryside.
GTA 6 (Leaks): Estimated at a staggering 225 square kilometers.
That’s nearly three times the size. Players who once thought driving across Los Santos took forever might find GTA 6 feeling more like crossing entire states.
One fan joked: “You’ll need snacks for the road trips in GTA 6.”
GTA 5: One main hub—Los Santos—with a few small rural towns.
GTA 6 (Leaks): Three major cities plus four sub-cities.
This is a game-changer. Instead of mastering a single metropolis, players may juggle life across multiple skylines, each with unique neighborhoods, cultures, and criminal underworlds.
