Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA5) is set in Los Santos and the surrounding areas of San Andreas, the Los Angeles-inspired region where GTA: San Andreas on PS2 was set. The map of San Andreas has been converted into an island and features a vastly different layout than its PS2 counterpart. The new GTA 5 map is approximately 100 square miles (13x7) with Los Santos being about 21 square miles, twice the size of the Midnight Club Los Angeles Map.
