🕹️ VIDEO GAME MAP Size Comparison (REAL SCALE) 🎮

🎮 These are the sizes of some examples of video game maps, I have tried to be as accurate as possible. The measures have been contrasted in several sources and I have chosen the one that seems most coherent to me. There are some radical cases like TLoTR Online and Guild Wars: Nightfall, whose measurements were exaggerated in many sources, 77.700 km2 and 38.800 km2 respectively. I have tried to put some more realistic measures. Many maps were discarded due to many inconsistencies in the measurements as in the case of Fallout, there are many maps of similar size, so I decided not to include them. Despite how complicated it is to be sure that the measurements are correct, I have tried to give my best effort to make the video better than the existing ones (including my old video). If there are mistakes, please forgive me.

Note: All measurements are approximate, there may be discrepancies in measurements depending on the sources.
Most measurements represent the full map, not the playable area. Larger sizes can be very questionable.
Includes procedural maps, especially the larger ones.
The striped areas are not part of the measurable area.

I have tried to do my best, but it is possible that there is some error due to the great discrepancies that exist in this subject.

He intentado hacerlo lo mejor posible, pero es posible que haya algún error debido a las grandes discrepancias que existen en este tema.
Todas las medidas son aproximadas, puede haber discrepancias en las medidas dependiendo de las fuentes. La mayoría de las medidas representan el mapa completo, no el área jugable. Los tamaños más grandes pueden ser muy cuestionables. Incluye mapas procedurales, especialmente los más grandes. Las áreas rayadas no son parte del área medible.

Me: "Ah shit, here we go again!"

There are so many video games maps comparison nowadays; they are quite popular and people want to see which has the biggest map.
But yours, damn, your comparisons are awesome and of an excellent quality!
Congratulations!

I love how these games have this huge range of biomes like deserts and mountains that would fit into a single burrough of London. You would pass through a jungle, a desert and an arctic tundra on your way to work 😂

Finally, someone who actually accounts for the fact that Arena actually exists and is the biggest Elder Scrolls map

[Jadegreif]

That was amazing. Only real suprise was Skyrim. Always felt bigger to me.

[Parth_Sarthi_Singh]

The fact that RDR2 having such a massive map still focuses on so many minute details is amazing

[scaredcrow]

It really makes you realize how big our real cities truly are.

Jacob Geller has a really interesting video about this, how something as ludicrously big as No Man's Sky actually feels very very small, because it's just the same procedural generation everywhere you go, and so everything feels like a copy of everything else. But then something much smaller, like Fuel, feels orders of magnitude larger than NMS, because it uses real satellite data to create the maps, it's a one to one identical map of somewhere the size of Connecticut. And because in that game you can only drive from place to place, you can't fly on seconds to the other side of the map like in games like NMS. So it just feels absolutely gigantic. The developers of Fuel are the ones who made the newest Microsoft Flight Simulator that uses the same technique, real satellite data, to create a one to one map of the entire earth.

It's called "Games that Don't Fake the Space", his video. Got me really wanting to play this old shitty driving game. He even says that the game isn't particularly great or anything, just that he can't stop thinking about it because it's the largest feeling game he's ever played.

The crazy thing about "Elite Dangerous" is that the Milky Way in 1:1 scale was already featured in the previous "Frontier: Elite II", back in 1993. Absolutely mind-blowing.

[AhmadDakhlallah]

Most of these other maps just have empty space space like dessert or ocean or something. Skyrim whole map was detailed and playable. Probably why it felt so big

[neofox.]

When it started to zoom out, I was worried I'd start seeing blue cubes again 😯

[pancakes]

Fun fact, depicted in this video is the Canonical size of Tamriel in Elder Scrolls. It's supposed to be just a little larger than Europe

[SeraphimKnight]

I can totally believe that the Elite Dangerous world is that big. I played for a few hours and even traveling at supraluminal speeds the universe feels ridiculously huge.

[TheMedicatedArtist]

The second it zoomed out to space, i immediately knew what game it was gonna be

[AsymmetricalCrimes]

I'd like to see a version of this with standardized scales. Some of the bigger maps have roads bigger than entire city blocks of other maps.

[leirbag]

I was kind of hoping to see Hyrule somewhere, but it was pretty impressive how much story can fit into relatively small areas in a game

[harley]

I love "The Crew” 's map. It's chunky and certain details are vaguely wrong, but it'd make a cool "not quite your world" setting.
Kinda want to see what the whole Earth would look like mapped in their style.

[CodyRushDriving]

MS Flight Simulator had the best flex IMO, being the actual map to which the first 90% of the games were comparing themselves. Like "Surprise! All those maps are on this map!"

I love how it turned into space size comparison video at the end
