According to various sources throughout internet GTA 6 is all set to be the most expensive game ever made so far with a budget which is being estimated to be between USD$1 Billion and USD$2 Billion. Some of the highly reliable sources who have reported this information are Times Now, Dexerto Gaming, Sportskeeda, and The Hollywood Handle. So far the most expensive game that has ever been produced is Rockstar’s very own Red Dead Redemption 2 which costed about $540 Million, followed by CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077 with a budget of $316 Million. So, even if GTA 6 doesn’t cost more than $1B, it’s still gonna be the most expensive game ever produced.
Moving on, as per the concept map shown below, which is based on the leaks, you can make out that the game’s playable area is humungous compared to its predecessors. The GTA 6’s Vice City map is almost 1.75x the map of Los Santos from GTA 5. Previous leaks also suggested that there are countless Cities/Towns such as York Town, Red Hill, etc found in the files. Most of these locations point towards north of Port Gelhorn, making the map expand even further north. This also fits perfectly with Tom Henderson said, which was that the map was Vice City and surrounding areas, so you can expect that the Everglades and Keys will be part of the map too. Now how much of this is true is yet to be seen but as many sources and the huge data-mine suggest, this is what the map of GTA 6 will look like.
If anything, it will possibly be even bigger making GTA 6 such a grand scale game that it would even put its own predecessors to shame. Taking about the development timeline and announcement date, Rockstar Games job listing suggests GTA 6 development is close to complete. Also a recent blog post by Rockstar Games via their newswire hinted at a potential GTA 6 reveal this year, stating “Every year comes with the hopeful promise that this year will be the year everything finally comes together. Well, 2023 could be that year”. You can also refer to this leaked internal document attached below.
