GTA 6s golfbane blir like stor som hele byen i Red Dead Redemption 2

A lot of fans are looking forward to GTA 6 mainly for its open world, which is expected to be incredibly detailed and among the largest ever seen in the genre. Comparisons to Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar's previous project, are not surprising, and one recent observation suggests a single sports area in GTA 6 could rival an entire city from that game.

That caught plenty of attention on social media. User Urban_GTA_6 ran some calculations comparing the Red Dead Redemption 2 map to the State of Leonida, finding that the Leaf Links Golf Club in GTA 6 covers roughly the same area as Saint Denis, an entire city in RDR2. Density obviously differs between the two, but it still gives a sense of just how much bigger GTA 6's map is shaping up to be.

Saint Denis is apparently even smaller than Vice City’s golf course island.

Considering how huge and dense Saint Denis feels in RDR2, it really puts GTA 6’s scale into perspective.

Earlier reports suggested the GTA 6 map would be roughly three times larger than Red Dead Redemption 2's and twice the size of GTA V's, with Vice City itself expected to be double the size of Los Santos and map density up to ten times greater than GTA V's. Rockstar Games still hasn't revealed an official map, though this week's reveal of The Goodtime State—Vice City Collection, the game's collector's edition, already gave fans a partial look at it through one of the included items.

More details could come as soon as next week, with GTA 6 set to headline the newest issue of Game Informer. New screenshots are already confirmed to be released, along with details on the open world, dynamic weather, wildlife, and more.

Grand Theft Auto VI will release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
