The recent update of GTA Online platform "A Safehouse In The Hills" has given a glimpse of GTA 6's gameplay indirectly by Rockstar Games. The update is seen to be a testing area for features that might later be part of the next mainline entry in the series which is highly awaited.
GTA Online has always been the ground for Rockstar to try out new gameplay mechanics before including them in the next big releases. The update that just happened now features that are very similar to the things that people have been expecting in the next GTA game such as buildings that can be entered, workouts for the characters, and pets that can be customized. The gaming community has once again got their interest up and also has become more curious as to how big the new release would be.
Some sources and community observations are pointing out that GTA 6 will have a wider range of side activities available, which indicates a much bigger open world than the last installment.
The following activities are rumored to be included or even confirmed through leaks and GTA Online update:
Boxing and MMA
Gym sessions
Mini-golf
Basketball
Fishing
Hunting
Kayaking
Scuba diving
Street racing
Tennis
Off-road races
Pool
These features suggest that the game is not just about the main story but also about giving players a lot of ways to interact with it besides the main plot.
Initially, it was thought that GTA 6's third trailer would be out by the end of December 2025 or the beginning of January 2026. But since the game has reportedly been delayed by six months, the current expectation is that the trailer window will be around April 2026. Due to the history of Rockstar Games with unexpected releases, there is still a chance for an earlier announcement, maybe even during the holiday season.
The first two trailers were all about storytelling and setting the right mood for the game, while the third one will probably be gameplay-oriented. Among the features that fans expect to see are weapon switching, character swapping, and vehicle controls, which will show a lot about the game’s playability.
The recent actions of Rockstar Games suggest that the company is adopting a slowly revealing strategy of GTA 6 features, which will not only keep the audience participating but also preserve the mystery surrounding the entire gaming experience.
