GTA 6 news

Every confirmed GTA 6 side activity, turned into a challenge

Last updated: 6 September 2026

24 activities, every one of them confirmed by Rockstar or reliable reporting — nothing speculated, nothing from a leak. Each one below gets a named challenge and a difficulty tier (Tourist, Local or Menace), plus one clearly-marked bonus challenge built around a mechanic every mainline GTA game has had, so when GTA 6 lands on 19 November 2026 you have something to actually do with the list, not just a list. Spin the GTA challenge generator now for the GTA 5 version of the same idea, playable today.

How this list is sourced

Every activity here comes from Rockstar's own previews or from outlets that covered the gameplay reveal directly, including GamesRadar's 28 August 2026 activity roundup and GTABase's own confirmed-features tracking. If it's not on this page, it isn't confirmed — that's a deliberate rule, not an oversight, and it's why this list is shorter than some of the "everything GTA 6 might have" roundups elsewhere.

Spin the generator for the GTA 5 equivalent of this whole section right now — the driving and stunt dares cover the same territory in a game you can actually play today.

Nightlife and screens

ActivityChallengeTier
Clubbing with tippingTip Everyone — one full night out, tip every performer, no fightsTourist
In-game TVCouch Lock — sit through a full in-game broadcast without skipping itTourist

Trouble

ActivityChallengeTier
CarjackingFive-Minute Owner — carjack a vehicle, then abandon it inside five minutes for a better oneLocal
Armed robberyMasked Man — pull off a masked liquor-store holdup and get clearMenace

Every item in this section is in the game only, never in real life.

Bonus, not on the confirmed list: Give Chase — get a police chase going, then lose it without a shot fired. Tier: Menace. Wanted levels aren't individually named on Rockstar's own confirmed-activity list the way jet skiing or boxing are, but every mainline GTA game has had some form of police response — this one's included as a reasonable bet, not a confirmed feature, and it's why it's counted separately from the 24 above.

Hunting and the outdoors

Hunting is confirmed, and Mount Kalaga National Park's forested, mountainous terrain is the most likely home for it based on what's been shown of the region so far, though Rockstar hasn't restricted it to one specific area. This page frames hunting as a dare, not a guide to in-game systems — for the mechanics themselves once they're known, GTABase and Fandom's wikis will be the ones tracking every detail; we're not trying to compete with that.

Hooked — track and take one animal, using whatever method the game actually gives you. Tier: Local.

What we deliberately left out

Tennis is confirmed not playable, despite tennis courts existing in the world — it doesn't appear anywhere on this page, on purpose. Anything requiring online or multiplayer is not confirmed at launch, so nothing above depends on it. Planes, casinos and property or business empires are all unconfirmed one way or the other — no challenge here assumes any of them exist, because assuming would mean guessing, and this page's whole point is not guessing.

Spin a GTA 6 dare instead

Until 19 November 2026, every challenge above is aspirational — there's no GTA 6 to play yet. What is playable right now is the GTA challenge generator's full GTA 5 side, 200 dares across all eight categories, built the same way this list was: named challenges with real rules, not vague suggestions. The GTA 6 challenge generator is the version of this site set up specifically for launch day, ready for the moment these challenges stop being aspirational.
