Rockstar has shown more than a dozen kinds of side entertainment for Vice City across its trailers and the official Extended Look showcase — from fishing and kayaking to skydiving and livestreaming. Some activities researchers see directly on screen, others they count as confirmed under a broader methodology. This guide separates the two and shows exactly what’s officially shown versus what fans are merely expecting.

How many activities has Rockstar confirmed so far

Dexerto’s wiki lists 17 confirmed activity types in GTA 6, ranging from amusement parks and basketball to kayaking, pool and weightlifting. It’s the largest published count, and it’s built on official trailer footage and screenshots.

GTAbase’s researchers count differently: they separate a narrow list of activities directly spotted in trailers and screenshots from a longer list of what’s only expected but not officially shown. That methodology gap explains why the counts don’t line up — which is exactly why the table below gives every row its own confirmation-status column.

For more on the world where all of this plays out, see the guide to Vice City.

What trailers and screenshots showed before Extended Look

According to GTAbase’s count, trailers and official screenshots directly show these activities:

  • basketball;
  • boxing and fistfights — a returning mechanic from GTA IV;
  • fishing;
  • the gym;
  • hunting;
  • kayaking — a brand-new hobby for the series;
  • mini-golf — also new;
  • pool — another return from GTA IV;
  • off-road racing;
  • skydiving;
  • diving;
  • shooting ranges.

Researchers consider these twelve the sturdiest part of the list: each one is visible directly on screen, with no guessing from a silhouette or a background sound cue.

What Extended Look added on August 27

Rockstar’s expanded showcase, “Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look,” added activities that simply weren’t on any official footage before it. According to TheGamer’s breakdown of the showcase, players saw for the first time:

  • riding e-scooters;
  • rally racing;
  • livestreaming — a hint at an in-game social media system;
  • clothing customization as a side-activity element;
  • smaller heists and robberies separate from the main story missions.

This isn’t a third-party researcher’s count anymore — it’s what Rockstar itself directly showed at an official showcase. For more on the showcase itself, see the Extended Look breakdown.

Why the outlets’ counts don’t match

The gap between Dexerto’s count and GTAbase’s narrower list isn’t a mistake by either outlet — it’s a difference in methodology. Dexerto counts anything visible in any official footage as confirmed, including fleeting background details. GTAbase deliberately splits its list into two tiers: a narrow one for what’s directly and unambiguously visible in trailers and screenshots, and a broader one for anything researchers consider a logical continuation of earlier games in the series, without direct confirmation.

That’s why the same amusement park is “confirmed” in one count and “expected” in the other. That’s not a reason to dismiss either outlet — it’s a reason to read carefully: the word “confirmed” with no methodology attached is exactly the kind of claim not worth trusting at face value.

For who’ll actually be doing most of this side content, see the guide to the main characters, Jason and Lucia.

What we’re not claiming

  • That this is an exhaustive list of every activity in the shipping version of the game. Rockstar hasn’t published an official catalog of side content, and pre-release footage can still change.
  • That bowling, casinos, or gambling are confirmed for GTA 6. None of the reviewed sources lists them among confirmed activities, despite such lists frequently circulating online.
  • That every item on Dexerto’s list is confirmed to the same degree. Some rest solely on official footage, others on a broader reading of what’s been shown.
  • That activities marked “expected” will appear in the game exactly as researchers describe them. That’s a forecast by analogy with earlier games in the series, not an official confirmation from Rockstar.

Bottom line

The sturdiest part of the list is the twelve activities GTAbase sees directly in trailers and screenshots — from basketball and fishing to diving and shooting ranges. The Extended Look showcase added officially confirmed e-scooters, rally racing, livestreaming, clothing customization and smaller heists. Amusement parks, strip clubs, car meets and shopping, meanwhile, stay in “expected” status — outlets disagree on whether those count as confirmed yet. The game itself launches on November 19, 2026, and this list can still change before then.

Frequently asked questions

How many activities and minigames has Rockstar already confirmed?

Dexerto's wiki lists 17 confirmed activity types, from amusement parks to weightlifting. GTAbase counts differently: it separates a narrower list confirmed directly by trailers and screenshots from a longer list of activities it only expects.

Will GTA 6 have bowling?

No, bowling doesn't appear on either reviewed confirmed list — not in Dexerto's count, not on GTAbase's list. If a guide claims bowling is a confirmed GTA 6 activity, there's no source backing that claim.

What exactly was new in the August 27 Extended Look?

At the official Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look showcase, Rockstar showed e-scooter riding, rally racing, characters livestreaming, clothing customization, and smaller heists and robberies separate from the main story missions for the first time.

Why don't Dexerto's and GTAbase's counts match?

Their methodology differs. Dexerto counts a wider set as confirmed, including amusement parks, bar drinking, strip clubs and watching TV. GTAbase puts those same items in a separate category — expected, not officially shown.

Which activities are returning from GTA IV?

Per GTAbase's list, boxing and fistfights, as well as pool, are returning from GTA IV — both mechanics are already visible in GTA 6's trailers and screenshots.

Which activities are completely new for the series?

GTAbase directly calls kayaking and mini-golf new hobbies for the series — neither activity appeared in any earlier GTA game.
