Air · Spotted Parachuting shown in Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, August 27 2026
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.
The only parachute footage Rockstar has shown is a jump from a building. In the Extended Look on August 27 2026, Lucia leaps from the top of a tower, freefalls, and opens a parachute. Shacknews described it as jumping off buildings wearing a parachute, and Game Informer filed it under a single Base Jumping/Parachuting heading rather than splitting it in two. No trusted outlet's rundown of the Extended Look lists skydiving from an aircraft as its own activity, so treat any site that presents it as confirmed with caution.
That is not the same as ruling it out. GTA 5 let players jump from planes and helicopters and turned parachute jumps into scored side missions with landing targets, and GTA 6 carries the parachute forward. Leonida's map spans Vice City, the Keys archipelago, a national park, and open coastal terrain, and the Extended Look shows aircraft in the world. Whether you can board a plane and jump out of it, and whether scored parachute jumps return, are unconfirmed until launch.

Frequently asked
Can you skydive in GTA 6?+
Not confirmed. Parachuting is in the game, but the only jump Rockstar has shown is Lucia leaping off a tower in the Extended Look, which is base jumping. Jumping from an aircraft has not been shown. Sites listing skydiving as a confirmed GTA 6 activity are going beyond what the footage supports.
Is skydiving the same as base jumping in GTA 6?+
Base jumping means parachuting off a fixed structure like a building or tower, which is what the Extended Look shows. Skydiving means jumping from an aircraft, which Rockstar has not shown. Game Informer and Shacknews both group the confirmed footage under base jumping or parachuting.
