GTA 6 Launch Gallery: Every Detail in Rockstar's New Screenshots

Rockstar's GTA 6 Launch Gallery breaks down: hotel pools and crowds, a 2 Fast 2 Furious drawbridge race, a mansion raid, attack dogs, realistic bullet damage and rifles, weapon wear, new gangs and movie references.

Published November 5, 2026 · Updated November 8, 2026

On November 5, 2026, two weeks before launch, Rockstar published the Launch Gallery on the official site: a fresh set of screenshots across Vice City, the Keys, the Grassrivers and Port Gellhorn. They're packed with details.

Density and scale

The standout is a hotel pool scene clearly modelled on a real Miami Beach resort. Count the people and you'll pass two dozen, before you factor in water simulation, reflections and enough palm trees to forest a small country. It's easy to see why the game targets 30 FPS on a base PS5.

A Fast & Furious drawbridge race

Jason races a 1990 Annis Elegy with a friend in the passenger seat — a call-back to the drawbridge jump in 2 Fast 2 Furious. Vice City's drawbridges look fully functional, rising for passing boats. On the far side of the bridge are the same custom cars seen in a live-action Vice City film-shoot clip: an Emerus, a green Buccaneer and a Coquette D10.

The mansion raid

Jason and Lucia, in the outfits from the extended look's opening, run for a yacht during a standoff on a North Vice Beach estate, with the blue and green diamond-topped towers behind. Lucia carries the same red duffel bag she escapes with in the extended look. Both the yacht and the house have fully modelled interiors.

Gas stations, dogs and bullet holes

  • A guard dog lunges at a customer, held back only by its owner's grip on the leash — confirmation of aggressive dogs in the world.
  • Jason fills up at a pump with police behind him. The bullet holes in his car peel the metal back under the paint and even warp the gap between windshield and roof.
  • The police aren't shooting on sight — consistent with GTA 6's realistic escalation at low wanted levels.

Weapons done right

  • A rifle with a holographic sight and flip-up backup irons folded down — correct when an optic is mounted.
  • Jason riding with his rifle's safety on and ejection-port cover closed, ready to fire out of a car under attack.
  • Lucia's compact .380 pistol shows wear on the extractor and trigger guard — a long-carried personal gun. Guns may wear over time with use.
  • Jason's night-ops scene continues from the launch trailer, with the same working dog he petted beforehand.

Gangs and faces

  • An M7 crew with gang tattoos.
  • A man with Marabunta tattooed on his face — the Marabunta Grande are back.
  • A sandal-wearing gangster with his pitbull.
  • Jason in a one-versus-three standoff against knives, his gun hidden behind his body.

Movie references

Jason and Lucia relaxing on the hood of a car under a lone tree at sunset is a near shot-for-shot nod to the ending of Transformers (2007).
