11 days to GTA 6: Grassrivers is the Everglades, and the airboat is how you cross it
Eleven days out. Today's confirmed fact: Grassrivers, GTA 6's sawgrass wetlands modelled on the Everglades, with alligators, houses on stilts and airboats. What Rockstar has shown, from Trailer 1 to the official screenshots.
Eleven days. Today: the swamp.
Confirmed
Grassrivers is the Everglades in all but name: sawgrass marsh to the horizon, alligators in it, and airboats as the only sensible way across. It has been in both main trailers, first with an airboat in 2023 and then at length in Trailer 2.
The official screenshots show an airboat deck with an alligator at the feet of two men, houses on stilts over the water, and an airboat chase beneath a helicopter with an alligator watching from the water. Trailer 1's alligator in a backyard pool, and the one that wanders into a convenience store, are Grassrivers leaking into town.
The airboat exists as a vehicle class because of this terrain.
Our guess
Every GTA has had a part of the map where the cars stop being useful. In San Andreas it was the hills, in GTA V the ocean. Grassrivers looks like the first time that zone sits right next to the main city. Expect chases that start on a highway and end on water.
Bama has more on this than anyone should: everything in Leonida that can kill you. Full page: Grassrivers. Tomorrow: guns.
