Businesses Rockstar has named
| Business | What Rockstar says | Label |
|---|---|---|
| Jack of Hearts | Boobie Ike’s strip club, part of a “legitimate empire” of real estate and a recording studio. “The club money pay for the studio, and the drug money pay for it all.” | Official |
| Only Raw Records | The label Boobie runs with Dre’Quan Priest; signed the Real Dimez. “Now they just need a hit.” | Official |
| Brian Heder’s boat yard | In the Leonida Keys. Jason lives rent-free at one of Brian’s properties. | Official |
| Allied Crystal | Ambrosia’s sugar refinery that “provides the jobs.” | Official |
| Wyman’s classic-car work | Port Gellhorn mechanic, “eccentric collector and local fixer,” with a classic-car commission (Ultimate Edition copy). | Official |
| Tisha-Wocka flea market | Vice City market of “bootleg brands” (Vice City copy). | Official |
| Nightclubs | Aaron Garbut told Bloomberg the team went on research trips to Miami nightclubs; per GameSpot, the clubs have distinct animations and scripts for each patron, a bar of unique drinks, and lighting that syncs with the music. Garbut: “Layers and layers and layers of detail.” | Reported |

Side hustles: how money works
- Reported Income comes from boosting and selling cars, holding up businesses, store robberies and bank heists (IGN’s Rockstar demo, August 2026).
- Reported Money matters more to the story: you may need to raise capital before the next main mission.
- Reported Fences take jewellery and cars, Red Dead Redemption 2-style; a car fence may also give you intel.
- Reported The Waink phone app tells you what a car is worth at a Pay n’ Spray or specialty fence and what registering it would cost (Rob Nelson to IGN).
- Reported Jobs can be done solo or as a couple; couple jobs count toward the relationship.
- Reported “You can rob pretty much anything,” including a headphone store; blowing a safe is faster but can damage the loot (Rob Nelson to IGN, 7 Oct).
Activities shown in official footage
Official footage An Extended Look (27 August) shows a gym, gun range, basketball, kayaking, scuba diving, a fan boat, track racing and parachuting.

Not confirmed
- Buying businesses or property, GTA V-style.
- A playable music-label career (the Only Raw story is official; managing it is not).

- How do you make money in GTA 6, and which businesses has Rockstar actually shown?
- Rockstar’s own copy names a handful of businesses and Ultimate Edition destinations.
- How the money loop works comes from press who watched Rockstar play, so it is labelled Reported until launch on 19 November 2026.
