Both Nikon Z6 II and Sony RX1 have Full frame sized 24.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the Z6 Mark II and RX1 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon Z6 II and Sony RX1 Cameras
Nikon Z6 II and Sony RX1 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Nikon Z6 II and Sony RX1 sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, Z6 Mark II has scored 94, 1 points higher than RX1.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Nikon Z6 II
or the
Sony RX1 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
