Game Worlds in their True Scale

How big are video game worlds really? From GTA 5 and Skyrim to Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077 and Minecraft, we're bringing some of gaming's most iconic open worlds together to reveal their true size all at the same real-world scale. Some video game maps feel almost endless, even though they're surprisingly small. Others stretch across enormous landscapes, oceans and entire regions. But what makes a game world feel so much bigger than it actually is? In this cinematic 3D scale comparison, we recreate famous video game worlds and compare their actual dimensions with real-world cities, landmarks and geography. Discover how GTA V compares with Manhattan, why Skyrim feels enormous despite its relatively compact map, how Elden Ring's Erdtree dwarfs the Burj Khalifa, and what happens when we compare the biggest open-world maps with the surface of Earth. **Featured games:** Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5), The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, PUBG: Battlegrounds, Ghost Recon Wildlands, FUEL, Microsoft Flight Simulator and Minecraft. From sprawling cities and fantasy kingdoms to state-sized driving maps and planet-scale simulations, this is the true scale of video game worlds. **About Big Data Factor** We turn extraordinary numbers, distances and comparisons into cinematic 3D visualizations, exploring the true scale of things you thought you knew.
