As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) in Fall 2025, many fans are already planning what they’ll do first in the game. With so much excitement surrounding the game, including Rockstar Games’ promise of a new open world, it’s no surprise that players are eager to dive right in. In this article, we’ll cover the top 10 things players will likely do first when GTA 6 launches, from exploring new locations to revisiting familiar gameplay elements from previous GTA titles.
1. Climb the Tower from the First GTA 6 Trailer
One of the standout moments from the first GTA 6 trailer is the tall tower, which immediately captured players’ imaginations. Since Florida’s real-life highest elevation is just 345 feet, GTA 6’s fictional state of Leonida won’t have many natural mountains or high points. Rockstar will likely have to get creative with verticality, and this tower may offer one of the best views in the game. Players are sure to flock to it, climb to the top, and even jump off for that Assassin’s Creed-like thrill.
2. Take a Vehicle to the Beach
What’s GTA without a bit of chaos? The densely populated beaches shown in the trailer have become one of the most anticipated locations to visit. Players will undoubtedly grab a car or motorcycle and speed down the sandy shores, engaging in some classic Grand Theft Auto mayhem. Whether it’s plowing through sunbathers or causing general havoc, the beach will be a must-visit spot.
3. Visit the Strip Clubs
The inclusion of strip clubs in the GTA 6 leaks and trailer, particularly The Jack of Hearts, has been widely noticed by fans. Not only do they provide entertainment and interaction, but the clubs also offer the potential for storylines, missions, and Easter eggs. With planes flying above and advertising these nightlife venues, players are sure to make a visit early on in their playthroughs.
4. Hunt for Easter Eggs
Rockstar Games is known for filling their open worlds with hidden Easter eggs and nods to past games. Whether it’s tracking down references to Tommy Vercetti from GTA: Vice City, exploring past locations like the Malibu Club, or stumbling upon new Easter eggs, the hunt for hidden gems is always an exciting part of the GTA experience. GTA 6 is likely to have its fair share of secrets, keeping fans engaged for hours.
5. Drive Around the Entire Map
Exploring the map will be one of the first things many players do. Will the entire map be unlocked at the start? That’s still a mystery. In GTA 5, the full map was available from the beginning, but GTA 4 and Vice City required players to unlock sections of the map as they progressed through the story. Regardless of how it’s structured, driving through the new environment while jamming to the radio stations will be a popular early activity.
6. Encounter Strangers and Freaks
The first GTA 6 trailer teased several strange and fascinating characters, from the mud-covered girl to the dual-wielding hammer woman. Random encounters have always been a part of the GTA series, and GTA 6 seems poised to deliver even more bizarre and memorable interactions. Whether these characters offer side missions or just strange dialogues, meeting them will be one of the most exciting first activities for many players.
7. Find Rare Vehicles
GTA has always been known for its eclectic array of vehicles, and fans are eager to discover the unique and rare rides in GTA 6. A particularly intriguing one is the white blimp spotted in the trailer, which appears to be a nod to Fat Albert, a real-life blimp used by the military to monitor drug smuggling in the Florida Keys. Finding rare vehicles, whether in the sky or on the ground, is a top priority for car enthusiasts.
8. Max Out the Wanted Level
What’s a Grand Theft Auto game without testing the limits of law enforcement? Players will no doubt want to see what happens when they reach the maximum wanted level, which could be five or six stars in GTA 6. Heading straight to the military base for some high-level chaos will likely result in an intense showdown with police, military, and even news helicopters.
9. Rob Convenience Stores
Convenience store robberies are a staple of GTA gameplay, and they’re sure to return in GTA 6. In the GTA 6 leaks and first trailer, we see Jason and Lucia robbing a liquor store called Uncle Jack’s. Whether it’s for a quick buck or just the thrill of committing a crime, robbing a store will likely be one of the first things players do, mirroring the scenes from the leaks.
10. Hunt for Trophies and Achievements
For trophy hunters and achievement enthusiasts, GTA 6 will offer a fresh slate of challenges to conquer. Whether it’s tied to specific story missions or unlocked through free-roam activities, gamers will be eager to unlock trophies and achievements as quickly as possible. Expect some to be easy and available early in the game, while others will require more in-depth gameplay.
