On November 5, 2026, two weeks before the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, Rockstar put 38 new screenshots on its official site, gathered in a Launch Gallery at rockstargames.com/VI/launch-gallery and announced on its Newswire. Each one is 3840 × 2160 pixels. We went through all of them: what they show, where Rockstar sets them, and what they add to what we already knew about the game.

Where the 38 screenshots are set

Rockstar names each file after a place or a character, and the places follow the regions of its Leonida map. Vice City has the most, 15 of the 38. Grassrivers has two, the Leonida Keys and Port Gellhorn one each. The other 19 follow Jason (nine), Lucia (four) and the two of them together (six). Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga, the two other regions Rockstar has named, are not in this gallery. Our Leonida map and our guide to Leonida's six regions show where each region lies.

A bank job, then the chases

The gallery opens on a robbery: Jason and Lucia inside a Fleeca bank branch, bandanas over their faces, submachine guns in hand and duffel bags on their backs, while a teller and a kneeling customer raise their hands. Fleeca is the bank of GTA V's Los Santos, the target of GTA Online's first heist, The Fleeca Job. On the community map we host, the GTA VI Mapping Community lists Fleeca branches in Vice Beach and Hamlet; the screenshot does not say which one this is. Other screenshots show where such a job leads:

  • Lucia firing from the passenger seat of a convertible, beside an armoured cash truck, police cars behind her;
  • Jason on a motorbike in the rain, a patrol car and several helicopters on his tail;
  • Jason and two other riders on motorbikes inside a mall, weapons drawn, facing two armed guards;
  • Jason leaning out of a car window with an automatic weapon, bullet holes in the door, helicopters overhead;
  • at night, Jason filling up a red car at a gas station while two police officers come up behind him, guns drawn;
  • police boats, cars and a helicopter closing in on a yacht moored at a waterfront house;
  • Jason aiming a customised assault rifle in front of a cargo plane, its ramp open, beside a dog in tactical goggles.

There are face-offs too: Jason squaring up to three men by a pickup, Jason pointing a handgun at a big, armed, tattooed man with another biker behind him, and a bearded man in a white suit offering a handgun to a younger man in a car. Lucia has four portraits of her own, each with a handgun: behind a rain-flecked window, at the wheel, in close-up, and at night in front of a police officer and his car.

Vice City, by day and by night

By day, Vice City is a marina full of boats under its towers, an airliner passing overhead; a hotel pool seen from above, with its cabanas and palm trees, flamingos and gulls flying by; and a car meet where a young woman takes a selfie on the hood of a customised pink muscle car. At dusk, the skyline lights up behind a raised drawbridge, traffic waiting on both sides, and a gas station glows in neon under a giant tyre that reads "Ricardo Tires", a lowrider with green underglow by its pumps.

At night, the gallery goes inside: a packed nightclub with disco balls and plants hanging from the ceiling, a dancer lying on dollar bills, dancers getting ready in front of a dressing-room mirror. Its portraits of locals carry the city's brands and style: M7 tattoos, a gold S4S chain on a man walking a pitbull in a gold-spiked collar, a Sessanta Nove bikini, a ring shaped like an angry dolphin, a gold submachine gun in the hand of a man having his hair braided. Rockstar names none of these people.

Beyond the city: the Keys, the swamps and Port Gellhorn

The Leonida Keys screenshot is underwater: a lionfish among sea plants, a diver with a torch behind it, a boat idling on the surface. Grassrivers has two night scenes in its swamps: a man by a campfire with a knife in his hand, a dead snake over his shoulder and a dead alligator on the bench; and an alligator's eye glowing red in the water as an airboat carrying three men comes through the mangroves. In Port Gellhorn, a dancer performs under the neon sign of the Delights Cabaret, which the community map already has in Port Gellhorn.

Jason and Lucia also have quieter moments: sitting on the hood of a pickup on a hill above Vice City under a low sun, deer grazing in the grass below; dancing in The Rusty Anchor, a crowded bar where locals raise their drinks, which the community map places in Key Lento, in the Keys; and, for Jason, a set on the bench press.
