GTA 6 features more than 500 hours of content across four continents and cities, according to analyst forecasts.
GTA VI may prove larger than many expected based on recent comments made by an industry analyst.
Over the last year or two, many have made wild claims regarding Grand Theft Auto VI’s price and size, from price estimates to file size predictions made by analysts in 2022. While Rockstar Games has yet to reveal official statements regarding GTA VI, fans still dig through leaks to uncover new details uncovered during 2018. While official information from Rockstar remains unavailable – we do still have access to an enormous leak from last year which still provides insight.
Comments made by industry analyst Michael Pachter last year seemed outrageous at the time, yet after hearing all we know now about GTA VI these claims seem even more absurd. If proven true however, then GTA VI could become something even greater than we imagined it could become!
Pachter reports that GTA VI will contain between 400-500 hours of content, which lines up with recent leaks. What makes Pachter’s estimation interesting, though, is his claim that we’ll have access to multiple cities throughout North America and Europe – Los Santos Liberty City Vice City London among them – where missions may lead players all around them.
GTA VI has been in development since 2014,” he reported. While they didn’t start writing code right away as they outlined its storyline, by 2015 they started producing actual code to build GTA VI. Anyone thinking that Rockstar’s 2000 employees are sitting idle while creating amazing content has it wrong: these guys work extremely hard creating what will become GTA VI over the course of 10+ years.”
“From what I understand, the new game will combine Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City and Europe – London in particular – so players will have access to travel anywhere across those continents on missions that bring them along their paths.”
“They will likely release a four or five hundred hour game when GTA VI finally makes its debut, because that is exactly what is currently taking place with them now and GTA VI has become. My understanding is they charge $60 dollars upfront then provide an online experience where players must transport drugs between London and LA while going through Miami port; basically doing all kinds of really cool stuff.”
Now I am far from convinced of this claim; gameplay leaks suggest the game will primarily focus on Vice City with an unexpectedly small map size. That being said, however, its worth noting that its leaked map contains multiple airports which might suggest travel between different locations/cities even if these don’t match up to Vice City as far as size; they could serve as additional fun areas for more linear missions!
Though everything seems too good to be true, we recommend keeping expectations realistic. Rockstar knows what they’re doing, so I would be surprised if GTA VI ventures too far beyond Vice City; one massive open world area would likely suffice.
