Every Rockstar open-world has its collectible system. Vice City had hidden packages. GTA V had stunt jumps, spaceship parts, letter scraps, monkey mosaics, and more. GTA 6 will continue this tradition with a refreshed set of collectibles tailored to the Vice City + Leonida setting. Here’s what to expect.
Predicted collectible categories
Hidden cocaine packages (thematic)
A modern callback to the original Vice City’s hidden packages. Likely 100 packages scattered across the map, with progressive cash and weapon rewards for collecting them.
Florida wildlife sightings
Photo mode opportunities for rare animals. Inspired by RDR2’s Master Hunter challenges. Each species photographed unlocks rewards.
Vice City memorabilia
Vintage 80s items hidden in attics, garages, and abandoned buildings. Direct callbacks to the original Vice City era.
Stunt jumps
The classic GTA collectible. Expect 50-75 unique stunt jumps with cinematic camera triggers and money rewards.
Underwater treasures
Florida’s coastal waters demand a scuba/diving collectible system. Spanish galleons, hidden caches, shipwrecks.
Postcards / location photos
Side activity tied to photo mode. Photograph specific landmarks to unlock travel rewards.
Random encounters
Not collectibles per se, but RDR2’s stranger missions count for 100%. Expect a similar dynamic system.
100% completion tied to collectibles
Based on GTA V’s structure, 100% completion will require:
- All story missions
- All side missions
- All collectibles (packages, jumps, photos)
- Specific skill milestones
- Property purchases
Collectible map and tracking
GTA V’s in-game map showed collectible locations after purchase or specific story progression. Expect GTA 6 to streamline this with:
- In-game collectible map (likely paid in-game or unlocked via story)
- Mobile companion app integration (possible)
- Real-time progress tracking
Rewards for collecting
Historical Rockstar rewards for collectibles include:
- Cash bonuses
- Unique vehicles
- Special weapons
- Outfit unlocks
- Achievement / trophy progress
- Online mode bonuses
The community discovery race
Within hours of launch, datamining communities will identify total collectible counts. Within days, location guides will appear online. Within weeks, completionist runs will hit YouTube. The community discovery process is part of the launch experience.
For PC players
PC modders will eventually create teleport tools and collectible markers for those who want shortcuts. Achievement integrity remains for those who play unmodded. See our GTA 6 achievements guide.
