So the map of Night City is a pretty big one and today we check it out while it offers the districts to it and the actual size of this place. Okay so the map and the important part. How big is this? Obviously the bigger the better but in saying that, we don't want to see massive empty spaces or empty areas to make things seem bigger. That in my opinion isn't the way to go. Yes we need space but not empty space which is what we see a lot of within GTA 5. Now the best way to see how big this map is is well to compare it to GTA 5's map. Which lets Nuckid ourselves here. It's a pretty big map. But having looked absolutely everywhere on the internet for any kind of source from CD, Project Red and the actual size of Night City, there's simply not a single source I could find which actually stays the size of this thing. All I found was fellow content creators trying to figure this out for themselves using maths and gameplay footage and what is estimated to be around double the size of Los Santos of GTA 5. Now obviously Los Santos is only one section of the GTA 5 map although you would argue the main section of the GTA 5 map but there are still certain areas you can explore outside of Los Santos even though they are mostly empty spaces and mountain tops. But the actual city sizes, it seems straight up Night City vs Los Santos, Night City is around double the size. With more sources I am seeing putting it around 25 sq km. Something like that. But it actually doesn't end there for Night City because Night City is built upon many many layers meaning the verticality within Night City is extraordinary and although a CD Project Red dev did confirm that not every building you can explore the majority you can and while this is another point I believe which makes it a better game. I mean having a much bigger open space is okay but when you are travelling for ages to find someone or something that doesn't really appeal to me I'd rather a much denser area filled with things to do and something around every corner. So although Night City is bigger than GTA 5's it's also way more compact which is a great thing. And while the scaling doesn't include the Badlands which are the surrounding areas of Night City and although this for what we have seen does seem like a lot of emptiness there like I said seems to be a lot of space here and I mean loads of people and you can see this unscreen eldest demonstration of basically driving down the Badlands and you can just about make out Night City in the background. That's how big the Badlands seems to be and let's not forget it people the Badlands is occupied by the Nomad so there's going to be plenty of things to do here so although it does seem like it's going to be an empty space it's going to be filled with things to find do and achieve not that bad. So yeah Night City's map is bigger than GTA 5's in terms of the city itself but it actually rams much more into each square kilometre. GTA 5's Los Santos was estimated around 14 square kilometres. Night City's like I said is around at 25 mark so almost double but also with Night City there is that point of verticality where it said some explorable buildings are up to or more than 60 floors which is utterly nuts plus there are levels it seems in a ground of many areas too which is just ridiculous so not only do we go up we go down so yeah Night City itself seems pretty big so we have a big city but let's quickly check out the different districts within the city. We have Watson, Westbrook, City Centre, Haywood, Santor, Domingo and Pacifica and then we have the surrounding Badlands. Each of these districts also have their sub-districts too. Within Watson we have the Arasaka Waterfront, the Northside Industrial Estate, the Kabuki and Little China. Watson was once a major industrial district with its own nightclubs corporate offices, a top-end med centre, a cutting-edge technology park and the biggest black market in the city. Watson was completely changed by Arasaka's return following the unification war so crazy people. Next up we have Westbrook and within Westbrook we have Japanta, North Oaks and Charter Hill. Westbrook was one of the city's districts to sustain significant damages after the nuclear attack on Arasaka back in 2023. After major restorations, Asian corporations and many of Night City's elite established their residence in Westbrook's North Oaks. Now in City Centre we have downtown and a Corporal Plaza. Night City's City Centre was completely rebuilt after the 4th Corporate War happened just a few decades ago. Cool to know. Within Haywood we have Wellsprings, the Glen and Mr. Dave Ray. Large Lillatino and full of growing gangs in their influence, Haywood remains one of the city's wealthier districts. It is home to a gang known as the Valentino's, known for their strong moral code and adherence to old traditions. Within Santa Domingo we have the Arreo and Rancho Coronado. So Santa Domingo, one of Night City's oldest districts, became its central industrial district with many factories, nuclear plants and junkyards. After it stopped being a Charter to many citizens affected by the 4th Corporate War, it instead became a test in ground for industrial projects. A cramped house in neighborhood and a home to the 6th Street Gang. And within Pacifica we have the West Window State and Crossview. This area was supposed to become Night City's Toes District. By a global economic recession, put the funding behind the project to an end. Massive and deserted, the ambitious construction sites were overtaken by gangs and the migrating Haitian community. Some many sub-districts to these districts and also confirmed by CD Projekt Red. Every single street within this map and every part of this city and these districts is named. That's just one kind of depth to this game. It's crazy. These districts within Night City behold many exclusive things, missions, cyber missions, different upgrading options like cyberware, different options of customization in terms of clothing, different kinds of weapons and rarities. Hidden loot caches are much, much more. They are also occupied by many different kinds of people and gangs, who will meet and well could end up in the middle of a turf or while visiting. I've mentioned a few just but we'll get into each gang and where they are located and based. I also do have a video dedicated to gangs coming soon, which you might find in my playlist and I've already uploaded by the time you're watching this video. That playlist is linked below. Within that video I'll go into depth within these gangs, so they'll just tell you the basics and where they are occupied. So the Maelstrom Gang. These will be found via locations like the Watson District within the North Side Industrial Sub-District and Kabuki. We have the Muxies who also tend to hang around the Kabuki near a point of interest called Lizzie's Bar. The scavengers who you will find all over Night City, with their concentrated presence in North Pacifica and the Southern Wellsprings. The Tiger Claws can be found within the Watson and Westbrook Districts within Japan Town, Chart Hill, Kabuki and Little China. The Valentinos who can also be found within the three sub-districts of Hayward. The Voodoo Boys can be found within the Pacifica District. The Animals who can be found all over Night City, but are mainly concentrated to South Pacifica. And then we have Sixth Street who are based within both Santo Domingo and Hayward Districts. So there are a lot of Ganges who will come across within Night City and I cannot wait to dive straight in. So yeah guys that's basically an overview of the map of Night City. I do have another in-depth guide into the Pacific Districts where we learn a lot more about those. If you are interested in that stay tuned but I just wanted to give you a basic size of the map and overview of the districts and who occupies what area. And if you enjoyed the video and want to see more make sure you like and subscribe. But guys thanks as always for stopping by. I do hope you enjoyed the video. Let me know what you think and hopefully I will see you one at next. One.
