Rockstar Games released 39 new screenshots of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), the new game in its open-world series, on 5 November 2026. The studio calls this set of images its launch gallery, meaning the images published two weeks before the game's release. GTA 6 comes out on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, in physical and digital editions.

GTA 6: what the 39 launch gallery screenshots show

The images are online on Rockstar's Newswire, the studio's news site, and on the game's official website. They show the two main characters, Jason and Lucia, in several locations in Leonida, the fictional state where GTA 6 takes place: a crowded nightclub, a bar called The Rusty Anchor and a gym, where Jason lifts a bar on the bench press.

Other screenshots take place away from the city. One shows a night-time alligator hunt: three men stand on an airboat, one of them carrying a rifle on his shoulder, and an alligator's head sticks out of the water in the foreground.

Several images show chase scenes. In one, the police surround a waterfront villa and the superyacht moored in front of it: patrol cars block the nearby bridge, a police boat approaches and a helicopter lights up the scene with its searchlight.

In another, Jason leans out of a car window holding an automatic rifle, chased by police helicopters. The car's grey bodywork is marked by bullet holes, which reveal green paint underneath.

Modified cars and street racing appear in several screenshots. One brings together cars with decorated bodywork and chrome wheels, parked side by side at the foot of skyscrapers. A night view of Vice City also shows a raised drawbridge above the water. In other images, the characters wear bracelets and rings, accessories that complete their outfits.
