Microsoft Flight Simulator is the game with the largest map area in the world.
One of the interesting experiences of open world games is exploring the in-game map. From fantasy lands to simulated galaxies, or bustling cities or remote countryside. Open-world games will have extremely large maps that allow for many scenes, trees, people, and a whole world in the game.
The open world design has changed a lot over the generations of games, making the landscape in the game not only vast but also much more beautiful. In 2001, GTA III appeared with a city of about 3 square miles (equivalent to nearly 8 square kilometers). It created a real craze when it allowed players to explore a lot of details in a large space unprecedented for action games. To date, open world games have grown to extraordinary levels when even the blockbuster Microsoft Flight Simulator 2021 has a map area of up to 510,100,000 square kilometers – our entire planet Earth.
A Youtuber named D imitris Galatas VFX recently posted a map comparison video of open world games, adding today’s most popular names like Cyberpunk 2077, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2021, gives us an overview of how vast the world map in the game is.

Dimitris Galatas VFX starts with titles with small to large maps such as Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate 3.70 square kilometers, Fortnite S15 is 6.8 square kilometers and Marvel’s Spider-Man is 11 square kilometers. Mid-range maps include Ghost of Tsushima at 28 square kilometers, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at 72, and Red Dead Redemption 2 at 75 square kilometers. And finally Fuel with 14,400 square kilometers is in third place and The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall with 161,600 square kilometers holds second place. In first place is none other than Microsoft Flight Simulator 2021 winning the contest. Compare that to an area of 510,100,000 square kilometers – our entire planet Earth.
