What mini-games and side activities are in GTA 6?
Rockstar has shown a list at last: scuba diving, swimming, kayaking, jet skis, basketball, base jumping, working out, nightclubs and repeatable store robberies all appear in the Extended Look.
Confirmed — Rockstar finally showed the leisure side. A substantial stretch of the 26-minute Extended Look is given over to what Jason and Lucia do when they are not working, and it functions as the activities list this page had been waiting three years for.
The caveat that remains is depth. Seeing a character shoot hoops establishes that basketball exists; it does not establish whether it is a scored mini-game with an interface or an ambient animation you can join.
What was shown
| Activity | Notes |
|---|---|
| Swimming and scuba diving | Tracked separately |
| Kayaking, jet skis, fan boats | Water traversal across the Keys and wetlands |
| Basketball | Shown as a street activity |
| Base jumping and skydiving | Returns from GTA 5 |
| Working out | Gym activity, with body changes over time |
| Nightclubs | Interior venues with crowds |
| Street racing | Shown during free-roam sequences |
| Store robberies | Repeatable, with a speed-versus-take trade-off |
The robberies are the notable entry, because they are the first confirmed activity that feeds the wider economy rather than sitting beside it. Money reportedly matters to campaign progression, and a repeatable earner in every convenience store gives free roam a reason to exist between missions.
Physical condition is back
Working out changes how the characters look. GTA San Andreas modelled weight and muscle; GTA 5 dropped it to a stamina and strength stat with no visible effect. Its return sits alongside hairstyles that change over the course of the story, which the reveal used to signal the passage of time.
Why the list matters more than usual
A map roughly twice the size of GTA 5’s has twice as much space to fill, and an 80-hour campaign implies long stretches between story beats. Activities are what keeps that traversal from feeling like commuting.
What is still unknown
No full activities list has been published, and nothing has been said about golf, tennis, casinos, cinemas or arcades — all tracked separately in the rumor index. Whether any of these are scored, ranked or tied to progression is also unstated.
