Downtime in Leonida
GTA 6 activities
What there is to do when nobody is shooting at you. Here is every side activity Rockstar has shown, and what each one has not yet told us.
Rockstar's Extended Look on August 27 2026 spent a long montage on downtime: racing on a real circuit, dirt bikes, kayaks, scuba diving, basketball, a bench press worked with the triggers, a wrestling ring, a timed shooting range and a parachute jump. A few activities also show up in Rockstar's own Ultimate Edition copy, which points a speedboat at Gambit Bay for fishing and bundles a kayak.
Each activity gets its own page here, built only from what Rockstar has shown or written. Where a detail is inferred from a scene rather than shown as gameplay, the entry says so, and nothing on these pages invents a reward, a location or a rule that was not on screen.
Confirmed activities
Racing
Circuit racing on a real track, dirt bike races and nitro-boosted street racing were all shown in the Extended Look. It is the most racing a GTA game has ever confirmed before launch.
Read more →Fishing
Rockstar's own Ultimate Edition copy points at Gambit Bay as fishing water, and the Extended Look ends with Jason, Lucia and Brian Heder on a boat. A fishing minigame is strongly implied but has not been shown as one.
Read more →Basketball
Jason sinks a shot on an outdoor court in the Extended Look's activities montage. Basketball is back for the first time since San Andreas, though whether you can play against opponents is unconfirmed.
Read more →Scuba Diving
Full scuba gear and an underwater cave were shown in the Extended Look. Diving returns from GTA 5 with a map that has far more coast, reef and swamp water to explore.
Read more →Kayaking
Jason and Lucia paddle kayaks through Leonida's waterways in the Extended Look. The Crest Kayak is also an Ultimate Edition bonus, which makes kayaking one of the few activities Rockstar has named in writing.
Read more →Weightlifting
Lucia works the bench press with the controller triggers in the Extended Look, a direct callback to San Andreas. Gym work ties into the returning body customization system.
Read more →Backyard Wrestling
Jason fights an opponent in a ring in the Extended Look, with what Engadget describes as WWE signature finishing moves. A new activity for the series.
Read more →Shooting Range
Lucia runs timed target practice at a military-style shooting gallery in the Extended Look, firing pistols and automatic weapons. The series' shooting range returns with a timer on it.
Read more →Base Jumping
Jumping off buildings with a parachute is back. The Extended Look showed it briefly, and Vice lists parachuting among Leonida's pastimes.
Read more →Skydiving
Parachuting is in GTA 6: the Extended Look shows Lucia freefalling off a tower and deploying a chute. Jumping from an aircraft, the classic skydive, has not been shown and is not separately confirmed.
Read more →Swimming
Swimming is in GTA 6. The Extended Look's activities montage shows people swimming with dolphins, and scuba diving appears separately with its own air meter. Leonida's coastline, the Keys, and Vice City's beaches give it ample terrain.
Read more →Sunbathing
Sunbathing on Leonida's beaches is listed by Shacknews among the pastimes shown in the Extended Look activities montage. One of several outdoor leisure activities shown in the same sequence, alongside swimming, kayaking, basketball, and backyard wrestling.
