As the excitement and talk about GTA 6 increases, players are hoping the game adds more meaningful side-activities beyond the usual crime-focused missions. Considering that Rockstar has been putting more effort into creating a detailed and believable game world with each new version of the game, this sixth instalmentis in a perfect position to introduce civilian jobs that feel fun, grounded, and rewarding. These types of activities should have a positive effect on the game’s financial system. They should give players different options and methods for earning in-game money, rather than just through crime. Furthermore, these jobs should help make the city of Vice City seem more active, real, and full of things to do. This would create a feeling of a living world in a way that GTA 5, did not completely manage to achieve or try out. Note: Parts of this article are subjective and solely based on the author’s views. Civilian jobs that GTA 6 should have as side-activities Vehicle-based work: From dirt bike racing to classic service missions GTA fans have been asking for the return of older vehicle jobs for years, and GTA 6’s modern engine could finally bring them back in a polished form. The idea is to mix high-speed mobility with grounded civilian tasks. 1) Dirt Bike racing Vice City’s rural roads, swamps, and beaches would be perfect for off-road events. Casual bike races, time trials, or organized underground tournaments could add a competitive but low-stakes activity that doesn’t rely on crime. 2) Taxi, Ambulance, and Firefighting missions These were iconic in older GTA titles. Bringing them back with a modern twist would make the world feel more lived-in. Imagine: Picking up passengers and dealing with dynamic traffic Racing an ambulance through unpredictable city conditions Containing fires in multi-story buildings with physics-based destruction These could be expanded into deep job systems with progression, upgrades, and challenges. GTA 6’s open world is big enough to make this feel fresh again. Real Estate agent: A perfect fit for Vice City’s luxury scene With a map rumored to feature both wealthy coastal neighbourhoods and dense urban districts, a real estate agent role fits GTA 6 naturally. This wouldn’t be a simple ‘buy property, earn income’ system. Instead, it could be a full civilian profession with moving parts: Scouting new homes or commercial buildings Negotiating prices with AI clients Renovating rundown properties Choosing designs and upgrades Marketing the final product Flipping real estate for profit Players could work with beachfront condos, inland family homes, or even skyline high-rises. This would offer a long-term economic path that does not rely on crime. With so much money floating around GTA’s world, a real estate job gives players another way to grind cash without resorting to constant violence. Leisure & Entertainment jobs: Bringing back lifestyle immersion GTA 4 had bowling, darts, and nightlife activities that grounded Liberty City. GTA 5 had its own set of entertainment options, but nothing that took full advantage of its world. GTA 6 could push this further by letting players work (or participate) in Vice City’s nightlife and entertainment sector. Imagine: Running or bartending at clubs Serving drinks, handling rowdy guests, or managing VIPs Hosting events or concerts Working security at bars, beach festivals, or rooftop lounges And beyond jobs, GTA VI should expand its pure leisure content like pool, darts, bowling, roller coasters, amusement park rides, TV shows, minigames and all the little details that make people feel connected to their character.
