Rockstar hosted a three-hour hands-on preview at Rockstar North for select creators and showed scale comparisons for Grand Theft Auto 6's world. The studio presented the full GTA 6 map as twice the size of GTA V and three times Red Dead Redemption 2; Vice City itself is twice the size of Los Santos, while Vice City plus surrounding suburbs is 11 times larger than Los Santos and its outskirts. A map of this scale increases travel distances, allows for more varied environments and missions, and provides room for extended post-launch content.
