Everything you can do in GTA 6 outside the missions
Rockstar's GTA VI: An Extended Look showed a long list of things to do in Leonida beyond missions, including basketball, kayaking, scuba diving, base jumping, alligator hunting, backyard wrestling, dirt bike and stock car racing, car customization at two Ultimate Edition only shops, nightlife, and small touches like petting or scolding dogs and scrolling an in game social feed on the beach. This list only covers what actually appeared on screen.

How solid is this? Confirmed by the publisher or an official channel.
Water and open air activities
The Extended Look showed kayaking, scuba diving including a dive into an underwater cave, base jumping off a Vice City skyscraper, and jet skiing. Alligator hunting shows up too, set in Grassrivers, Leonida's take on the Everglades. None of these were framed as one off cutscenes. They read as the kind of open world activity you would seek out between jobs, the same role fishing or golf played in past Rockstar games.
Sports, racing and one very strange wrestling match
On the more competitive side, the trailer showed basketball, dirt bike racing and stock car racing. It also cut to a backyard wrestling match in someone's yard, ring, crowd and all, ending with one fighter dropping the other with a move that looked a lot like a professional wrestling finisher. Rockstar has not said whether that wrestling scene is a playable activity, a one time story beat, or something that just happens around the map. Treat it as confirmed to exist and unconfirmed as a system until Rockstar says more.
Two car customization shops, and both are Ultimate Edition only
The Extended Look showed two named customization shops, Rideout Customs in Vice City for detailed interiors, rims and donk styling, and One-Eyed Willie's Mod Shop in Lake Leonida for off-road builds and hand-painted liveries. Rockstar has confirmed both are locked behind the $99.99 Ultimate Edition, not included with the $79.99 Standard Edition. They are two of five single player shops carrying that split, alongside a hair salon, a clothing store and a tattoo shop. Rockstar has not published a full parts list or said how far engine, suspension or transmission tuning goes for either shop.
City life and small touches
A lot of what people are talking about is small. You can lie on the beach and scroll an in game social media feed. You can walk past a dog and either pet it or tell it off, and the clip of someone choosing to be rude to a dog did real numbers online. Nightlife shows up as dimly lit underground clubs and rooftop bars. None of this is a headline feature by itself. Together, it is Rockstar signaling that Leonida is meant to hold your attention when you are not on a job, which is the same job Los Santos did for the better part of a decade.
Ambient world, not just player activities
Some of what showed up in the montage is scenery rather than something you personally do. Pedestrians were shown swimming with dolphins in the background, for instance, which reads as world detail rather than a confirmed player activity. We are flagging the difference on purpose. Something appearing on screen is not automatically something the game lets you do; some of it is Leonida being alive around you rather than a menu of things to try.
What we still do not know
Rockstar has not published a full activities list, so anything not shown in official material is a guess. We are not going to list rumored activities here. If Rockstar confirms more between now and launch on November 19, 2026, this post gets updated.
The in game social feed
One of the more interesting inclusions is a social media feed the player scrolls inside the game. Rockstar has always satirised media through radio and television, and moving that into a feed is the obvious modern update. What has not been explained is how dynamic it is: whether it reacts to what you do, whether other characters post, or whether it is set dressing. The reveal showed it working. It did not show the rules.
What has not been shown
Plenty. Rockstar has not detailed property ownership, businesses, a full car mod parts list, or whether any of these activities carry progression. This list is what appeared on screen in one 26 minute presentation, not a features list. Treat anything longer that you see elsewhere with suspicion, because the source for the extra items is usually nothing.
