Daggerfall, a game from 1996, has a map around the size of 161,600 square kilometers, or 62,394 square miles.

Arma 3 Altis:

ALTIS

Clocking-in at 270 km2, Altis truly is the star of Arma 3. From expansive cities to rolling hills, from wind farms to solar farms, whether steamrolling your tank across the southern plains, or waging asymmetric warfare from the northern hills, the Altis landscape lends itself to some of the most detailed locales and varied engagements.

The maps in the Delta Force series is the biggest. Its endless! You could walk for the rest of your life and still have a long walk left to the finish line!

Probably Minecraft, you can explore every inch of it too if you had the time (which you wont). Minecraft worlds are pretty much infinite on the PC version. GTAV map is tiny compared to a lot of PC games.

I know right... :) not bad for a 4Gigg game.

However it was poorly designed.

Well, obviously in terms of actual distance any space game will have a "larger" map but that doesn't make it a bigger game since that map may have pretty much no detail to it. In terms of actual in-game distance and detail, the original Arena and Daggerfall games are pretty huge. Each successive Elder Scrolls game actually got smaller and smaller, but the world got much more detailed in exchange so in terms of raw size the earlier games were actually the largest.

Also, of course any "procedurally generated" games are technically largest since most of them are effectively infinite.
