Night City's vertical height and use of interiors does significantly expand the areas players can explore in the game, particularly in its most dense urban areas. Cyberpunk 2077's main quest, for example, is also shorter than The Witcher 3's. This reflects several other comparisons that can be made between the games. Other factor's like vertical height and interiors make some game worlds larger in less noticeable ways. Night City is estimated to be around 75 kilometers in size, nearly half the size of The Witcher 3's world and roughly the size of The Witcher's mainland. The difference between riding Geralt's horse Roach through Velen and speeding through Night City in a car significantly changes the player's experience of the world's size.

This makes it around four times larger than Skyrim, and slightly larger than GTA V's Los Santos. In total, that makes The Witcher 3's world approximately 144 square kilometers in size. Though the duchy is smaller than most of the areas in the game Beauclair is particularly impressive as the region's capital, and the addition of locations like "the Land of a Thousand Fables" made Blood and Wine's additions to the world particularly hard to forget. The duchy of Toussaint is around 8 square kilometers. The game's final DLC, Blood and Wine, added a new area. The mainland in The Witcher 3's retail release is around 72 square kilometers, with Skellige almost double that size, adding an extra 64 square kilometers. To the west of the mainland is Skellige, a chain of islands that significantly add to the game's size. The game takes place in the Northern Realms in the area surrounding Novigrad, an independent city state. The world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is impressively large.
