100% completion in Grand Theft Auto VI bundles story progress, open-world activities, collectibles and miscellaneous challenges. Exact percentages Rockstar uses internally can differ slightly from fan trackers — this guide follows the in-game stats screen once available.
Core requirements
Typically you must:
- Finish the main story and mandatory stranger chains (see Strangers — Week 1 and linked missions).
- Complete required side activities (races, businesses, optional heist prep where flagged).
- Collect all map collectibles that count toward completion — start from the collectible heatmap.
- Clear any unique challenges (stunt jumps, shooting range tiers, flight school, etc.) once datamined or confirmed post-launch.
Checklist
- Story — all main missions; watch for branches documented on Keys Connection and finale pages.
- Strangers & freaks — complete optional encounter lines that feed 100% (track missables in mission guides).
- Collectibles — playing cards, letter scraps, stash boxes, plus any regional sets added at launch.
- Activities — street racing, ambient robberies, businesses; verify each against the pause-menu checklist.
- Map discovery — regions and bridges often contribute a small percentage; use state overview.
- Cleanup — random events, one-off phone jobs, and anything marked “optional” but required for 100% in the official stats.
Suggested order
1) Story until free roam is stable. 2) Unlock fast travel and garages. 3) Sweep collectibles per region using heatmap routes. 4) Finish races & time trials while wanted levels are manageable. 5) Save branch-dependent missions for a backup save or second run.
Trophies
Your trophy / achievement list may overlap with 100% but is not identical — some achievements are online-only or optional accolades.
Tools
Use the interactive Leonida map for pins, and wiki district pages like Vice Beach and Grassrivers for context.
