Grand Theft Auto VI looks set to fill the state of Leonida with things to do between missions. Here's what the Extended Look actually showed — and the series staples that tend to come back.
Confirmed in the Extended Look
- Scuba diving — head underwater around Leonida's coast and keys.
- Jet skiing & kayaking — tear across the bays, or paddle the calmer waterways.
- Parachuting — leap off Vice City skyscrapers for a bird's-eye view.
- Basketball & mini golf — playable street ball and a round of mini golf.
- Dirt biking & car racing — off-road riding and street races (with a NOS boost).
- The gym / weightlifting — build your character up (see below).
- Petting dogs — yes, really — and it earns you good karma.
Off-road mud parties are just one of Leonida's many pastimes.
It ties into your character
Rockstar has said eating affects weight, and exercise changes muscle — both returning from San Andreas. So activities like weightlifting aren't just for show; they feed into how your character looks and performs. More on that in what Rockstar confirmed.
Series staples that may return (unconfirmed)
These are long-running Grand Theft Auto activities. Rockstar hasn't confirmed them for VI, so treat them as likely, not certain:
- Golf, tennis and darts
- Gym and cardio workouts
- Strip clubs and nightlife
- Buying properties and businesses
- Collectible hunts and stunt jumps — track those on our collectibles checklists
We'll move each of these into the "confirmed" list as Rockstar shows it.
Verified activity additions
The verified preview record includes gym memberships and training, fishing for money and collectibles, basketball, wrestling, shooting ranges, street racing, dirt biking, diving, jet skiing and kayaking. Side activities are optional; players can complete the story without using the gym.
Fitness has practical effects: completing exercises can improve Health or Stamina, while protein products support further reps. Eating affects weight, and exercise changes muscle size and tone. Sleep is optional, but going without it can leave visible bags under the eyes and slow Health and Stamina regeneration for a time.
