Activities and free roam

The middle of the Extended Look is a block of things to do rather than a mission: a gym where the lift is bound to timed trigger presses, a basketball hoop under a stilt house, jet skis, kayaks, dirt bikes, an airboat through the wetlands and a beach circuit.

What the free-roam block actually shows

Rather than a list of icons, the presentation plays these as things the pair do between jobs. Dexerto catalogued them from the same video, and SVG describes the swamps as an area you can boat through and snorkel in.

  • Gym: the bench press is a timing minigame, not a menu
  • Basketball hoop under a stilt house on the water
  • Jet skis and kayaks off Bayside, an airboat at 17:04
  • Dirt bikes on trails and a seafront racing circuit

What is implied but not shown

Spotted in trailer

A fishing boat in the Ultimate Edition bundle points at fishing as a real activity, and the kayak points at slow water traversal, but neither has been demonstrated. No activity has published rules, rewards or unlock conditions.

Is there fishing in GTA 6?

Not shown. A fishing boat is bundled with the Ultimate Edition, which points that way, but no fishing mechanic has been demonstrated.
