GamingBolt reported on October 19 that Rockstar leads described “hundreds” of small interiors to explore in Grand Theft Auto VI. The account attributes the description to an interview with Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, but gives no exact total. GamingBolt’s report discusses interiors, not a stated count of separate buildings.
The example tied to the discussion is a player entering a gas station undetected and taking cash without alerting anyone. It offers a glimpse of the kind of scenario associated with the reported spaces, not a tally of how many buildings players can enter.
For related context on how Rockstar presents the game, read NeoTeo’s earlier coverage of why GTA VI is reportedly difficult to showcase.
Where the 157 and around-300 figures come from
The 157 figure comes from a GTAForums user’s interpretation of a purported development-debug label reading “Interior:157.” The number is that user’s reading of the label, not a reported Rockstar count. The forum discussion also includes comments about what players hope to find inside the game’s spaces.
A Reddit post describes a community mapping estimate of around 300 buildings that may have interiors. The post says the mapping project is incomplete and does not cover the whole game. That Reddit discussion describes a building estimate; the forum figure is an interpretation of an interior label. They have different origins and do not supply a single, verified count.
The room-level details in the report
GamingBolt also quoted Rockstar Games studio co-head Aaron Garbut on details such as who is sitting where, what they are drinking, and marks left on a table. Those examples put the focus on the small touches inside a room, alongside the broader reported description of hundreds of interiors.
