The short version

  • Confirmed sports: basketball, boxing, pool, mini golf, gym workouts, wrestling.
  • Confirmed water activities: scuba diving, kayaking.
  • Confirmed racing: street racing day and night, dirt bike racing.
  • Hunting and fishing return from Red Dead Redemption 2.

GTA 6 has confirmed hunting, fishing, diving, kayaking, golf, tennis, gym training, pool, street racing and dirt bike racing. Side activities are how an open world proves it is a place rather than a mission list, and that list is already longer than GTA V's was at this point.

GTA VI's confirmed list is already longer than either at the same point before launch.

Several of these double as dates

Pool, mini golf, kayaking, gym workouts and shopping were all shown as things Jason and Lucia do together.

They build the pair's relationship as well as filling time, which our relationship guide covers. The same activity serves two systems.

The hunting and fishing carry-over

Both return from Red Dead Redemption 2, and both fit Leonida better than they would have fitted San Andreas.

Florida's outdoor culture is fishing culture

The Keys and Grassrivers exist partly to support it.

That is not decoration. Those regions are built around water.

The open question is depth

RDR2's hunting was a full system: pelt quality, tracking, crafting.

A GTA version could be that, or it could be a minigame. Rockstar has not said which.

What the activity list tells you about the game's pace

Nine of the confirmed activities are slow ones. When the trophy list surfaces, expect this table to be its completion checklist.

The unhurried nine

You do these when you are not in a rush.

  • Fishing
  • Diving
  • Kayaking
  • Golf
  • Gym work
  • Pool

Studios do not build these by accident

A game does not add them unless it expects you to spend unhurried time in it.

That matches everything else confirmed: the fuel system, the carry limit, body persistence. Our completion planner works out what that means for your hours.
