Rockstar Games has published 39 new screenshots from Grand Theft Auto 6, two weeks before the game goes on sale, in a set the studio calls the Launch Gallery.
The images, posted on Rockstar's official site, show Vice City and the wider state of Leonida, and the two lead characters, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. NME reported the gallery gives a first proper look at the Jack of Hearts strip club and a live music venue called The Rusty Anchor, along with new characters and activities such as scuba diving.
Other shots show the Leonida Keys, the wetlands of the Grassrivers, beaches, nightclubs and city streets. Coverage of the gallery counted more than 170 animal species in the game's world, including alligators, flamingos and pelicans. One image drew wide attention online after Hypebeast identified a character in it as the rapper Kodak Black, holding a cup with the Jack of Hearts logo. Rockstar has not published captions for the images, and the screenshots do not confirm missions or story details.
What is confirmed, and what is not
Rockstar used the release to restate the date. Grand Theft Auto 6 launches on Thursday, November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. Preloading begins on November 10, so players can download the game before launch day. The new gallery is a marketing release of still images. It does not confirm a PC version, multiplayer details, performance targets or post-launch content, and none of that should be read into the pictures.
Why this drop matters
Grand Theft Auto 6 arrives 13 years after Grand Theft Auto 5, and it is the most searched game release of the year. Each official release from Rockstar in the final stretch sets search records because the studio says little between drops. The gallery is the last big look at the game before preload opens on November 10. For players, the useful facts are the dates and the places the images confirm: Vice City, the Keys, Port Gellhorn and the Grassrivers all appear in the set, and Jason and Lucia remain at the center of the marketing.
