Whale GTA 6 wildlife
Rockstar has confirmed whales in GTA 6's waters, the biggest animals you can find in Leonida.
Whales are among the animals Rockstar named for GTA 6 in Game Informer's cover story. They are the largest creatures in Leonida by far, and with scuba diving and boats confirmed you should be able to get much closer to them than in any earlier GTA.
Deep, open water is the place to look, so take a boat well offshore from the Leonida Keys or out into the Gulf beyond Port Gellhorn. Rockstar has not said which species of whale live in Leonida's waters. Rarity and exact spawn spots go in on launch day.
