10 Things to Do First in GTA VI

1. Complete the Prologue

The opening mission sets up the story and unlocks the open world. Don't skip it — the tutorial teaches you core mechanics that have changed since GTA V.

2. Grab a Fast Car

Head to the nearest sports car dealership or "borrow" one from the wealthy neighborhood in northern Vice City. A fast car makes everything faster.

3. Visit Ammu-Nation

Stock up on basics: pistol, assault rifle, body armor. You'll need them sooner than you think.

4. Buy a Safehouse

Your first safehouse is cheap and essential. It gives you a save point, garage, and wardrobe.

5. Start a Side Business

Check your phone for business opportunities. The earlier you start, the more passive income you'll earn.

6. Explore the Map

Drive around. Learn the neighborhoods. You'll thank yourself later when missions send you to specific locations.

7. Find the Hidden Stunt Jumps

There are 50+ stunt jumps scattered across Vice City. Finding them early helps you learn the map.

8. Buy a Boat

Vice City is surrounded by water. A boat opens up dozens of missions and hidden areas.

9. Meet Your Contacts

Visit the marked characters on your map. Each one unlocks missions, items, or abilities.

10. Start Investing

The stock market in GTA VI is deeper than GTA V's. Buy low, sell high — and pay attention to mission effects on stock prices.
