The amount of detail in creating the various cities, farmlands, towns, and other landmarks elevated the player's experience and truly made Los Santos special. Los Santos translated from Spanish means 'The Saints', which is a play on words for 'The Angels', or Los Angeles translated. Los Santos is loosely based on the city of Los Angeles. GTA 5 would hold the title of the largest open-world map ever made by Rockstar, until the developer's other major franchise sequel, Red Dead Redemption 2, was released. With a measurement of 75.84 square kilometers, Los Santos completely dominates San Andreas as the biggest Grand Theft Auto world map. Previously featured as one of the three main cities in San Andreas, Los Santos was rebuilt and more fully developed in GTA 5. The second reused location in the series, Los Santos returns with much more to offer this time around.
