    I mean in terms of hours played, GTA V’s map probably is one of the highest of all time. It’s had millions of people play it for over a decade, and to my knowledge the online mode is still going strong. Specifically targeting online only is likely far more successful in that regard because even if you personally don’t play it, thousands of others are doing so right now which would not be sustainable with single player DLC like the older games.

    Makes for pretty low quality content, but if the metric alone is not wasting the map as you indicated, it may well be the most played city of all time. I actually wish they would have wasted the map a little more and added new regions with single player quality storyline rather than reuse the same map with minimal changes and a small island add-on that I’m pretty sure can’t even be visited without playing a specific level.
