GTA 6 Launch Gallery: Rockstar's 39 New Screenshots
Rockstar has opened a new page on its Grand Theft Auto VI site called The Launch Gallery. The headline on the page reads "Explore Vice City and beyond through new screenshots." This is Confirmed: we fetched rockstargames.com/VI/launch-gallery on 6 November, and the "Featured News" block on rockstargames.com/VI lists "Explore the Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Gallery" dated 5 November 2026.
What we can't confirm from our own fetch is the picture count and the content of each image. The gallery loads through scripts, so the page text we read holds only the headline. For the details we rely on outlets that went through the images, and we label those parts as their reading, not Rockstar's words.
How many screenshots, and where from
PC Gamer counts "39 new screenshots" and calls the set a launch gallery released two weeks before the game. The PC Enthusiast also says 39. Other outlets say "nearly 40", so treat 39 as the working number until you count them yourself on Rockstar's page.
This is a separate release from the 12 images that came with Edge magazine's cover story on 29 October. Notebookcheck's write-up of that set mentions a rural motorcycle gang, an airboat in the Grassrivers swamp and an underwater shot with a hammerhead shark. That matters when you read the list below: the outlets covering the Launch Gallery describe an airboat and a dive scene too, and we could not tell whether those are new frames or repeats. Our Edge police-chase report covers the magazine feature itself. The Launch Gallery is Rockstar's own page.
What the outlets say is in the set
Both PC Gamer and The PC Enthusiast describe the same spread of scenes:
- Nightlife. Dance clubs, dockside dive bars and crowded streets in Vice City.
- Jason and Lucia. Several shots with the two leads armed, in bars, and in what The PC Enthusiast reads as a bank robbery.
- Outside the city. An airboat with armed men meeting an alligator in a swamp, and a diver with a flashlight underwater. The PC Enthusiast places the dive in the Leonida Keys, which is its own reading of the image, and as noted above, similar scenes appeared in the Edge batch.
- Law enforcement. Wide-angle police raids and chase stills.
- Quiet frames. Hazy meadow sunsets and countryside.
PC Gamer's writer singled out one image: Jason in tactical gear in a firefight, apparently near a military aircraft, with a dog in combat gear in the background. The outlet asks whether the leads could get "their very own D-Dog" and says that "at this point, we can only guess." So do we. Nothing on Rockstar's page says what that dog is for, and we don't treat it as a feature.
The same piece notes the variety of faces and characters on screen: a scarred man with two different coloured eyes, a knife-wielding man menacing Jason, police officers with strong moustaches. Rockstar has not captioned them in anything we could read, so nobody should build a character list from this.
What it tells you, and what it doesn't
It is marketing, so the images show the game at its best. Rockstar has not said which platform captured them or at what settings, and we won't guess. Our performance guide keeps the frame-rate and resolution facts apart from the screenshots.
It does line up with places Rockstar has already named. Our setting guide lists the Leonida Keys and Grassrivers among the confirmed regions, and swamp and dive scenes fit those names. We won't match specific screenshots to specific regions without a caption from Rockstar. The leads themselves are covered in the characters guide.
Where this sits in the launch run-up
The gallery follows the launch trailer and the Justice score announcement. Pre-load opens on 10 November, per our preload guide. For everything locked in so far, see everything we know, and for the live clock to launch day use the countdown.
PC is still the open question. PC Gamer's closing line is that the game launches on console on 19 November, "but we're still waiting to hear about PC." Our PC guide tracks that status.
The images are Rockstar's, so we don't host or copy them here. Open the official gallery to see them in full. As always, we are an unofficial fan site and report on Rockstar, not for them.
