A surprising amount of information was recently revealed regarding Grand Theft Auto 6 through its second trailer, with Rockstar giving fans their first major look at Jason Duval, one of the game's protagonists, alongside a better overview of Vice City and its surrounding areas. While this fresh trailer is fascinating in its own right, Rockstar additionally injected the official GTA 6 website with a burst of new content in the way of screenshots, location confirmations, and character profiles.
The screenshots for Grand Theft Auto 6 are split between portrayals of the game's major and supporting characters as well as some of the title's primary locations, although they could reveal more details than initially meet the eye. Many fans are analyzing what kind of activities are portrayed through these official GTA 6 screenshots, and it seems quite likely that these screenshots could be a solid indicator of what kind of side activities players will have at their disposal throughout the game world of the upcoming title.
Grand Theft Auto 6 Might Just Have Its Own Dutch Van Der Linde
GTA 6’s new character Raul may echo Dutch van der Linde’s legacy, teasing a high-stakes leader with charisma, vision—and potential downfall.
Grand Theft Auto 6's Side Activities Need to Be Bigger and Better Than Ever Before
The anticipation surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6 is essentially unrivaled in terms of what the industry has seen before, with this level of hype inexorably leading to some massive expectations of what experiences the title will offer. The legacy of 2013's Grand Theft Auto 5 as the most profitable piece of entertainment media ever made sets an imposing bar for GTA 6 to match and exceed, with Rockstar being fully aware of the immense challenge it has ahead of itself in this regard.
These expectations have led to many fans assuming that Grand Theft Auto 6 will have a massive playable area that far exceeds what the franchise has seen before, with some theories suggesting that the game may feature multiple states or tropical islands alongside its core portrayal of Vice City. A large game world is only half the battle, however, with Rockstar additionally needing to ensure that GTA 6's map is full of organic interactions and an abundance of content.
The currently confirmed locations for Grand Theft Auto 6 are Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga.
Side activities have grown to become a deeply important part of Grand Theft Auto over the years, and there is still plenty of room for GTA 6 to significantly expand on what GTA 5 offered in this department. The screenshots for Grand Theft Auto 6 showcase hunting as well as fishing, and this seems like a much-needed side activity to flesh out the game's swampy Grassrivers region. This goes hand-in-hand with the screenshots' portrayal of kayaking, with this potentially giving way to river races to add some content to the game's more rural areas.
GTA 6's Screenshots Appear to Show a Range of Returning and Fresh Side Activities
Past GTA side activities like pool are also reflected in the screenshots, with other activities like basketball appearing as brand-new potential staples of side content for the game's story as well as its equally-anticipated online mode. Grand Theft Auto 5 featured a detailed golf activity within Los Santos, and GTA 6 could easily carry forward this style of content, although the screenshots portray mini-golf as another potential activity that would act as a first for the franchise.
While none of these screenshots are a direct confirmation of their involved activities appearing as side activities, it seems unlikely that Rockstar would display them so proudly without the activities having some direct gameplay implications for GTA 6. The side content for Grand Theft Auto 6 will most likely far exceed what has been teased in the earliest batch of screenshots for the title, yet it already seems as if fans have a lot of returning and brand-new activities to look forward to when the game launches in 2026.
