GTA 6 Beginner Tips

Start smart. These will be refined with hands-on advice after launch.

Pre-launch guidance based on the series. We will verify and expand on day one.

Early tips to expect

Follow the story first: early missions unlock mechanics, areas and money.
Learn the wanted system: losing police attention efficiently saves time and cash — see our controls guide.
Explore Leonida: the map spans city, keys, wetlands and wilderness — fast travel and vehicles matter.
Use both protagonists: the dual-lead design (Lucia & Jason) likely rewards switching.
Save often and keep an eye on your vehicles.

More to come: detailed early-game walkthroughs, settings recommendations and money routes after release.
