Unlike most of the other games with maps of this size, Ghost Recon Wildlands opens its world to the gamer right away. There is no need to unlock sections of the map as you advance throughout the game, it is all yours from the start. That is the entire purpose of the Ghost Recon franchise.

It is a military strategy game that allows the gamer a chance to become a soldier by having to make real decisions or perish. Wildlands is so large, it is not the easiest to explore but it is there if you wanted to. Video games today are all about realism.

That's because gamers love to play something real, something authentic, and something that can let them play in a fake world, but feel as if it is real. That is why racing games today feature the same type of cars you can go out and buy in the real world. But that was not the case for Burnout Paradise. The game was fictional, the cars were fake, and the map was square miles of a place called Paradise City, a fake place where you can race cars all over the massive area map.

It remains one of the greatest arcade racing games of the past 30 years because of its style. Back in , when Grand Theft Auto III became one of the most popular games in video game history, and long before it was best known as GTA , many gaming studios wanted to grab some of the success that Rockstar Games was feeling.

The game takes place in Medici, a fictional island on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. When it was first released, Square Enix actually held a contest where they gave away an island to the player that was atop the game's leaderboard after the initial 90 days of release.

They made sure that players were well aware that the major selling point of this game was the sheer size of it. And it is truly grand, covering square miles, completely devouring the full map of GTA V. In , when Test Drive Unlimited 2 was first released, the size of the game's world map was a big selling point.

In fact, it was part of the reason why the game was so popular back then. But the evolution of video gaming has given just about every game studio the ability to create games with large maps.

In other words, the gaming world is growing and the maps will continue to grow, this time, by leaps and bounds. Compare the number of games today that make this list versus games from pre and you will be truly amazed at the difference in number of titles. Of all the old school video games still around today, like Mario, Zelda , and Sonic , Final Fantasy remains one of the best when it comes to adaptation. The Final Fantasy video game series has grown up with each release, using new technology and console upgrades as a guide for the madness.

Final Fantasy XV is the culmination of the entire series combined with all the best that gaming has to offer today. It even went as far as to create a land area map that reaches nearly square miles, or roughly the size of Rhode Island. It also has the options of letting you free roam throughout most of it.

So when it first came out, people wanted to test the rumors that the game map was as large as it claimed to be by driving from New York to Los Angeles. Since this is not real life, there are no speed limits along the way. Ultimately, that means another whopping map. The first truly open world Zelda game has been a resounding success, universally acclaimed by critics and resonating with its fans.

Of course, now the franchise has breached the open world space, gamers want to know exactly where it registers on the scale in comparison to benchmark franchise such as the Elder Scrolls and The Witcher.

Reddit user CrystalVivian recorded , Breath of the Wild is 7. The measurement was recorded via the flying minigame. The measurement does not include the very boundary of the rendered open world map, which is not playable.

Like we mentioned when Red Dead Redemption 2 first came out , measuring the exact size of the map for this game is a little bit tricky. There are no distance waypoints to help gauge the size like there are in other games. But where do our measurements come from? Credit goes to Reddit user venzIIF for most of the leg work. With that reference, he was then able to ascertain a rough The result is But things have improved dramatically in the years following its launch, with stacks of content introduced through a myriad of different updates.

Sailing from one side to another is five nautical miles, giving us an easy area calculation. Livonia is another region within the same post apocalyptic Russian setting the game has always used.

As for the measurement, developer Bohemia Interactive itself did the hard yards. This one is official. DayZ is an open world survival game currently in development by Bohemia Interactive. Originally born as a mod for the popular game, Arma 3, DayZ is soon to be introduced as a standalone game. Like Arma 3, it takes place in an enormous open world. This time, however, Dani will have access to an eclectic array of weapons and " Supremos " backpacks to add to their arsenal, as well as the choice of several animal companions to join them on their mission.

Grivel also shared that, in addition to Esperanza, there will be interesting locations and biomes for players to visit, with additional activities found throughout the vast world. Still, the world is beautifully designed and contains varied ecosystems ranging from harsh deserts to dense forests. Overall, it provides some nice scenery for a road trip.

This ambitious online-only game uses the continental U. That being said the map is scaled down quite a bit, but still large enough that to drive from coast to coast takes about 45 minutes. The map is roughly sq. The sequel, The Crew 2, has a map that is roughly the same size, but allows the player to travel by plane.

However, traveling by plane definitely makes the game world seem a lot smaller. Fuel is the second and last driving game to make this list; with a map that is about sq.

Daggerfall can still be downloaded for free on the official Elder Scrolls website. Minecraft has the largest land-based open-world to explore out of any game in this list — by far. The world of Minecraft is approximately 1. The surface area of the Earth is only million sq.
