Here we take a look at the map size of each main entry in the GTA franchise. Rockstar's massive open-world map was one of the biggest the industry had ever seen, and GTA soon became the industry juggernaut we know it as. There was something undeniably punk-rock about Rockstar Games, but they truly helped drive the point home with GTA III and the series' first foray into the open-world genre.
