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.
Basketball appears in the side-activities montage of Rockstar's Extended Look on August 27 2026. Game Informer's rundown has Jason making a shot on a court, and Shacknews and Engadget both list basketball among the confirmed pastimes. It is the first time the sport has been in a GTA game since San Andreas in 2004, where courts around Los Santos let CJ shoot around and run a timed hoops challenge.
What the footage does not settle is the format. Game Informer notes it is unclear whether Jason can face off against opponents or whether it is a solo shootaround. No score, timer or opponent was visible in the clip. Whether basketball feeds the body customization system the way weightlifting does is also unconfirmed.
