GTA 6 has hunting and fishing like Red Dead Redemption 2

Plausible, but unconfirmed. Hunting and fishing are among the most requested GTA 6 features, and the idea is fed by the game’s swampy Leonida setting and Rockstar’s own Red Dead Redemption 2, which had deep systems for both.

Where the claim comes from

The activity claims trace back to the 2022 leak and later datamine talk, not to an official Rockstar source. The trailers do show a rich animal ecosystem, including alligators, sharks, dolphins, and wading birds, which is real and confirmed on screen.

The gap

Wildlife appearing in a trailer is not the same as a confirmed hunting or fishing mechanic. Rockstar’s Mount Kalaga copy names both activities, and official screenshots show people carrying hunting weapons. On September 29, 2026, Game Informer confirmed more than 170 animal species and said some can be tracked as Rare, Discoverable or Legendary. The free page does not say you kill, skin or catch them. A new screenshot described by outlets, Jason near deer with a rifle, is another weapon-and-animal frame, not a minigame. Until Rockstar shows the activity, treat the RDR2-style loop as expected, not confirmed. The animals that are confirmed are on the wildlife page.

Our rating

Rumor. Likely given the setting and studio history, but not officially confirmed. See the animals and activities we can actually source on the wildlife and activities page.
