Pool is a popular mini-game among fans of GTA San Andreas and GTA 4. In San Andreas, CJ can play pool with any stranger in the bar for money. In GTA 4, Niko can play it with his friends or girlfriends.

Hence, it is a fun activity that should be playable in GTA 6 as well. From the official screenshot shared above, there are high chances that pool might return as a mini-game in the next installment. Furthermore, it can also arrive in GTA 6's online version, where players might be able to enjoy pool with friends.

Lowrider Challenge is a particular mini-game in GTA San Andreas where CJ attempts to make a lowrider car dance to a song, using hydraulic suspensions. Though this is a one-off mission in the game, many players enjoyed the challenge to accurately control the car to make it dance.

GTA 6 is set in a fictional Florida area where the lowrider scene is quite active. Hence, this challenge can return as a mini-game, where players can head to certain neighborhoods with their lowriders and participate in competitions.

3) Boxing

Boxing is not a standalone mini-game in the GTA Universe, but it is quite popular in GTA San Andreas. This is because CJ can head to the gym and train with a boxer in a ring.

This mini-game is likely returning to GTA 6 since Lucia clearly has some connections with the sport. In the screenshots and trailers, we see her wearing a gold boxing glove necklace and also training for fist fights.

4) Bowling

Bowling is a rare mini-game since it is only present in GTA 4. Players can enjoy the sport with Niko's friends or girlfriend. There are two bowling alleys in the title, with each round costing $10.

This mini-game can also be added to GTA 6, with much more detailed mechanics and physics, making it challenging and realistic. Furthermore, bowling could be played among friends in the online version.
