Grand Theft Auto 6 is almost here, and that means the open-world genre is about to receive its biggest boost in about a decade. A long, long time has passed since GTA 5 and even Red Dead Redemption 2, so Rockstar needs to show that the wait was worth it, and the best way to do that is to fill Vice City with brand-new features, along with creating a living world. So far, a few GTA 6 open-world activities have been revealed and confirmed, setting the stage for what could be the most packed sandbox in the franchise.
With only two months to go, Rockstar might decide to slow down the reveals for the time being, just to allow certain things to remain a surprise. However, the Netflix gameplay presentation and other preview material highlighted various aspects that will be part of GTA 6, and hopefully they'll live up to their potential.
All these open-world activities were confirmed a while back, and this article summarizes them in one place, just to make the information as accessible as possible. This isn't a definitive list, but it pinpoints some of the most exciting reveals.
We are only covering activities new to GTA, so no returning acts like hunting.
SinceRed Dead Redemption 2featured fishing, GTA 6 incorporating the activity isn't surprising, but proper freshwater sport fishing is still new to the franchise. While we haven't seen an in-depth demonstration yet, Rockstar outlined exactly how fishing will work in the upcoming game, confirming that its purpose is recreation, not profit.
Unlike RDR2, you don't keep, harvest, or cook fish. In an interview with YouTuber TGG, Rockstar North co-studio head Rob Nelson noted that keeping fish simply "didn't fit this game," given that modern Leonida’s economy revolves around diners, convenience stores, and fast food rather than wilderness survival. In contrast, hunting animals has a financial side, and its introduction comes courtesy of a character who knows Jason.
Mechanically, fishing seems to echo RDR2's system, albeit with the final step of throwing the fish back into the water. As you cannot make money off your catches, fishing instead features a competitive element through challenges, collectibles, and achievements.
Personally, this is the activity I'm most excited about. The old Backyard Wrestling games were a guilty pleasure of mine, and I imagine GTA 6's production value will be a bit higher than those PS2 releases. Leonida appears to be inspired by Florida, a state with one of North America's more well-known backyard and indie wrestling subcultures.
