Largest procedurally generated playable area in a videogame

Minecraft holds the record for the largest land-based videogame area, as of 26 June 2013. The game's physics only work effectively on blocks up to 32 million blocks from the world centre, so the game's playable maximum area is 4,096,000,000 km².

With "creative mode" switched on, players can access the other parts of the map but will encounter bugs. Indeed, Minecraft's map is technically infinite – the further you go, the more land is generated – but a hard limit on chunks (groupings of blocks) means a maximum possible world size of 4,722,366,482,869,645 km², of which “only” 4,096,000,000 km² are playable.
