GTA 6 Launch Gallery Drops a Pile of New Screenshots Two Weeks Out
Rockstar is now just posting vacation photos.
Grand Theft Auto VI is two weeks away, and Rockstar is filling the wait with pictures. The studio opened "The Launch Gallery" on its official site today, a new collection of GTA 6 screenshots covering Vice City and the rest of Leonida (Rockstar Newswire).
"Grand Theft Auto VI is now officially only two weeks away," Rockstar wrote, before signing off with "See you in Leonida on November 19."
What do the new GTA 6 screenshots show?
Most of the new shots are set in Vice City. There are skyline views over the water, packed nightclubs, street scenes and plenty of moments with Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos together and on their own. Other shots move out to places like Port Gellhorn, which shows how much of the state Rockstar wants players to explore.
Outlets counted between 38 and 39 new images, and Rockstar's own gallery page doesn't give a number (VICE). Either way, it's the biggest single drop of GTA 6 images since the launch trailer.
The gallery also leans hard into the little details that make Rockstar worlds feel lived in, like people dancing under club lights, boats tied up along busy docks and planes passing over the city skyline. If you've been studying every frame of the trailers, there's a lot more to pick apart here.
When does GTA 6 come out?
GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-loading opens on November 10, so you'll want to clear some space before then, since the download is reportedly massive.
Rockstar has been building up to launch for weeks. The studio released the GTA 6 launch trailer in October, followed by news about the score from the French duo Justice.
Why release screenshots this close to launch?
My read is that Rockstar knows the hype doesn't need much help at this point, so these screenshots are more of a victory lap. Showing regular life in Vice City, like nightclubs and boat docks, sells the idea that the world itself is the main character. That's what made GTA 5 such a long-term hit, and Rockstar clearly wants players dreaming about where they'll go first. (Our guess is the beach, then immediately somewhere they shouldn't be.)
