Pelicans are confirmed for GTA 6 by Game Informer Issue 382, which names them among the more than 60 bird species in Leonida. A signature bird of Florida's coastline, they fit naturally into the Vice City beaches and marina areas visible throughout official footage.
Game Informer Issue 382, published digitally on September 29 2026, names pelicans in its species breakdown of GTA 6's wildlife alongside flamingos, manatees, alligators, and a range of marine animals. Push Square and Vice both reported the issue's contents that day. The total bird count for Leonida is more than 60 types, part of a confirmed total of more than 170 animal species.
The real brown pelican is common all along Florida's coast, nesting on islands, patrolling beaches, and diving headfirst into shallow water for fish. In Leonida, the Vice City waterfront, the marinas, and the Leonida Keys all offer obvious territory for the species. Whether pelicans can be recorded in the Wildlife Log, and whether they have any role in missions or activities, is unconfirmed until launch.
