Sharks are among GTA 6’s marine animals. When Game Informer’s GTA 6 issue came out in late September 2026, VGC summed up the figures and attributed them to Rockstar: more than 170 species, including over 60 types of birds, over 30 land mammals and sea creatures such as sharks, whales and jellyfish.
The waters of the Leonida Keys, with the coral reefs already shown in the official diver screenshots, are the most natural setting to meet them. Game Informer lists diving and snorkeling among the activities, and according to Game Informer certain animals can be “tracked” in three tiers: rare, discoverable and legendary.
Whether sharks are dangerous to swimmers, as in earlier games in the series, has not been said. The image on this entry is generated by us in a game style, not an official screenshot: no shark has been seen in an official screenshot yet. The other documented marine animals are the dolphin, the eel and the manatee.
The sea turtle swims over the Leonida Keys reef: Rockstar names it in the official alt text of the scuba screenshot, along with coral, fish and an eel.
