GTA 6's map is expected to be three times bigger than Red Dead Redemption 2

Grand Theft Auto 6 fans, I hope you've cleared a good chunk of time on your calendar. Thursday's big GTA 6 information dump has confirmed that Rockstar's open-world game is an experience that will keep people busy for a long, long time.

Speaking to the New York Times, Rockstar North's co-studio head, Rob Nelson, shared a small aside that's got GTA 6 fans freaking out because of its implications. Nelson said he played through the entirety of the game in February, and despite mostly sticking to the main quest line, it still took him 80 hours to beat it. Mind you, this is someone who has worked on the game and is already very familiar with it. Average players who are jumping in for the first time will probably need much more time than that to beat GTA 6.

Nelson did add the caveat that he included "some optional goals" during that playtime, most of which had some sort of narrative ramification for the game at large. Yet based on everything Rockstar revealed in the Netflix extended look, GTA 6 borders on a life sim . You eat and drink, and stay active by playing tennis or lifting weights at the gym. You can pass the time playing pool, or take in the sights kayaking. You can muddy up with some dirt bikes, or catch some air while skydiving. Heck, you could probably spend ages just standing in one place, listening to what the NPCs have to say.
