Rockstar published a new set of Grand Theft Auto VI screenshots on 5 November, two weeks before launch, in a section of the official site called The Launch Gallery. The Newswire post is two sentences long. It says the game is now officially two weeks away, and it points to rockstargames.com/VI/launch-gallery. It does not say how many screenshots there are or describe any of them.
How many are there
Rockstar gives no number. PC Gamer counted 39 new screenshots, and Beebom, which embedded the whole set, also puts it at 39. We use that as the outlets' count, not as a Rockstar figure, and we link to the gallery itself so you can check. The previous set arrived on 29 October with the Edge cover story, and outlets disagreed on its size too (see our Edge preview page).
What the outlets say they show
PC Gamer describes night life, wildlife, and plenty of Jason and Lucia holding guns. It picks out Jason in tactical gear who appears to have stepped off a military aircraft into a firefight, with what looks like a dog in combat gear in the background, and says it can only guess what that means. The rest of the set, in its words, covers dance clubs, dockside dive bars, police raids, hazy meadow sunsets, high-speed chase stills and scuba diving scenes.
Beebom sorts the set by character. It says the Jason and Lucia group shows the pair on criminal jobs and in quiet moments, including bank robberies, a nightclub and a Vice City sunset. In its reading, one nightclub screenshot includes Brian Heder and his wife Lori Heder dancing next to the protagonists. The Lucia group is mostly armed or dealing with police, and the Jason group includes weight-lifting, a race with a supporting character and snippets from his Army days, which Beebom links to the Launch Trailer. It counts more than ten screenshots that focus on Vice City and its people.
Those are the writers' readings of uncaptioned pictures. Names, locations and story points that Rockstar has not stated in words are not facts yet, so we do not add them to the character or region pages from these descriptions alone.
Where to see them
The gallery is on the official GTA VI site. Our own screenshots page collects official images, and the character pages for Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos explain what Rockstar has said about each of them. If you want the region names, see the regions comparison.
Why now
Rockstar timed the gallery for the two-week mark. Pre-loading opened five days later (see pre-load starts 10 November). The run of official material before launch is the Launch Trailer on 15 October, the Edge set on 29 October and this gallery on 5 November. The dated items still to come are on the launch week page.
