The short version
- Both hunting and fishing are confirmed, carried over from Red Dead Redemption 2.
- Grassrivers and Mount Kalaga are the obvious hunting regions; the Keys are the fishing region.
- System depth has not been detailed by Rockstar.
- Their inclusion signals a deliberately slower moment-to-moment pace.
Hunting in a Grand Theft Auto sounds like a joke until you look at where the game is set.
Florida's outdoor economy is fishing and hunting. A game that builds an Everglades analogue, a national park and an island chain, and then does not let you use them, would be building scenery.
Where they fit on the map
Two regions carry the hunting. Grassrivers is the wetland with confirmed wildlife density. Mount Kalaga National Park is protected wilderness with elevation.
Fishing covers far more ground
The Keys, the Grassrivers channels, the Vice City waterfront, and the Gulf side around Port Gellhorn.
Water is one of Leonida's defining features. Fishing is the cheapest way to make it a place instead of a boundary.
Where each activity has been shown
Rockstar ties both activities to specific regions rather than to the map generally.
| Activity | Region | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Hunting | Mount Kalaga National Park | Confirmed |
| Hunting | Grassrivers | Wildlife density confirmed |
| Fishing | Leonida Keys | Confirmed |
| Fishing | Port Gellhorn | Gulf coast, implied |
| Skinning or crafting | Anywhere | Not confirmed |
How deep are they likely to be?
RDR2's hunting was genuinely deep. Animal quality, weapon choice affecting the pelt, tracking, skinning, carrying carcasses.
That depth had a reason
RDR2's whole economy was built on it. The output had somewhere to go.
GTA VI has a modern economy, so hunting has no obvious sink.
Which leaves three options
A challenge system. A collection system. Or a full simulation.
Nothing has been confirmed. Anyone telling you which one it is, is guessing.
