GTA 6 100% Completion: What to Expect Before Launch

Rockstar hasn't published GTA VI's 100% requirements, and nobody will know the real checklist until the game is out on November 19. What we can show you is how completion worked in GTA V — the most recent Grand Theft Auto — so you know the shape of the grind and can plan for it.

This page becomes the verified GTA VI checklist at launch: categories, counts and locations, checked against the game itself.

How 100% worked in GTA V

GTA V tracked completion in its pause menu, under Stats → 100% Checklist. It split everything into five categories. Fan guides like GTABase list them, with their share of the total, as:

• Story missions — 55%. All 69 main missions.
• Strangers and Freaks — 10%. The side stories with the game's oddball characters.
• Hobbies and pastimes — 10%. Races, sports and other activities around the map, 42 in all.
• Random events — 5%. Any 14 of the encounters that pop up while you explore.
• Miscellaneous — 20%. Sixteen one-off tasks, from collectibles to stunt jumps.

One caveat: some older checklists use a different split, so treat the percentages as a guide's breakdown rather than an official Rockstar figure. Either way, the lesson carries over — the story gets you only part of the way, and the side content and long tail of one-off tasks are what take the time.

What GTA VI might track

Nothing is confirmed, but the official material hints at plenty to do outside the story: six regions, from the Keys to Mount Kalaga's "prime hunting, fishing, and off-road trails"; businesses and shops, including the Ultimate Edition's mod shops, salon, tattoo parlor and clothing store; and a classic-car commission for a fixer named Wyman. Whether any of it counts toward 100% is something we'll only know at launch.
