SPOILER: Map of GTA V

If you want your entire experience of GTA V to remain a blissful surprise then DIVERT YOUR EYES IMMEDIATELY!

For those of you who just can't help yourselves, you're in for a treat of epic proportions. The following image was uploaded to internet treasure trove Reddit, originating from an early sale of the Brady Games: Grand Theft Auto 5 game guide.

This delicious slice of cartography shows off the vast environment that's been created by Rockstar Games for the latest instalment of GTA: the circular motorway looks like it will take hours to circumnavigate, while the inner island wilderness looks easily on a par with the rugged slopes of Red Dead Redemption. Here's hoping we don't have to stop for fuel.

For a true sense of the scale of this world, here's a comparison with GTA: San Andreas placed over the new map. The mind boggles.

Marc Chacksfield
Content Director

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
