Welcome to Leonida.
Your first hours in Grand Theft Auto VI are an opportunity to explore, experiment and discover the world around you. But before rushing through the experience, take some time to understand the game and make your own discoveries.
We've put together this beginner's briefing to help you prepare, explore efficiently and get more out of your adventure.
This is a general starter guide, not a verified mission walkthrough. We will update it as game mechanics and discoveries are independently confirmed.
01. Get your settings right
Before heading into the world, spend a few minutes checking your settings.
YOUR FIRST CHECKLIST
- Adjust brightness for your display.
- Find comfortable camera and controller settings.
- Check audio levels and subtitles.
- Explore accessibility options.
- Make sure your game is fully updated.
02. Explore beyond the missions
One of the best parts of Grand Theft Auto is discovering things without being told where to look.
Don't feel that you need to rush from one mission to another. Take time to investigate locations, observe your surroundings and see what the world has to offer.
- Explore different neighbourhoods.
- Pay attention to unusual environmental details.
- Look for interesting locations and landmarks.
- Keep an eye out for unexpected encounters.
03. Understand your progression
Take time to understand how missions, activities and progression systems work before committing all your attention to one particular route.
Keep track of your objectives and experiment with different approaches where the game allows.
04. Be smart with your money
Money and resources can play an important role in Grand Theft Auto. Avoid making assumptions about what is valuable until you've explored the available options.
- Understand the available ways to earn money.
- Pay attention to prices and potential rewards.
- Consider your purchases carefully.
- Keep track of your available resources.
05. Investigate the unknown
Leonida Whispers is particularly interested in the details other players might overlook.
Look for unusual symbols, environmental clues, interesting locations and anything that deserves a closer investigation.
Not every strange discovery will be a secret, but documenting what you find could help uncover something interesting.
Take screenshots of interesting discoveries. Record locations and keep notes. Evidence makes it easier to investigate and verify discoveries later.
