Rockstar Games has opened a new Grand Theft Auto VI “Launch Gallery” today, November 5, giving players another official look at Vice City and the wider state of Leonida just two weeks before GTA 6 finally launches.
The new section appeared directly on the official GTA 6 website and is being promoted by Rockstar as a collection of new screenshots designed to let players “explore Vice City and beyond.”
Rockstar has also published a dedicated Newswire post titled “Explore the Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Gallery,” dated November 5, confirming that the gallery is part of the company’s final launch campaign for the game.
Rockstar Opens the GTA 6 Launch Gallery
The new page is simply titled The Launch Gallery.
Rockstar introduces it with a short message:
“Explore Vice City and beyond through new screenshots.”
The page then presents a series of large GTA 6 images designed to showcase the world, characters and criminal situations players will encounter throughout Leonida.
The gallery ends with another unmistakable message from Rockstar:
“See you in Leonida on November 19.”
That makes the timing significant.
GTA 6 is now only two weeks away from release, and Rockstar is increasingly shifting its marketing away from broad reveals and toward material designed specifically around launch.
One Image Shows Jason During a Robbery
One of the screenshots prominently displayed in the new gallery shows Jason Duval wearing a bandana over his face while holding a firearm during what appears to be a robbery.
Jason can be seen carrying cash while another character reacts behind him.
The image reinforces one of the central elements Rockstar has consistently shown throughout GTA 6’s marketing: Jason and Lucia’s involvement in robberies and organized criminal activity across Leonida.
The game’s official premise says that Jason and Lucia become caught in a wider criminal conspiracy after what was supposed to be an easy score goes wrong.
The new launch gallery appears designed to offer additional glimpses at that criminal world without revealing major story details ahead of release.
Vice City and Leonida Remain the Main Focus
Rockstar describes the gallery as an opportunity to explore “Vice City and beyond,” suggesting that the images are not limited to the main metropolitan area.
GTA 6 takes place across the fictional state of Leonida, with Vice City serving as its most recognizable location.
Rockstar has already officially introduced several areas outside the city, including Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park.
Together, those locations give GTA 6 a much broader setting than a straightforward recreation of Miami.
The Launch Gallery continues Rockstar’s attempt to emphasize that GTA 6 is about an entire state rather than Vice City alone.
Rockstar’s Main GTA 6 Screenshot Archive Currently Contains 99 Images
There is an important distinction between the newly launched page and Rockstar’s existing media archive.
Rockstar’s main GTA 6 screenshot section currently lists 99 official screenshots available individually or as a downloadable ZIP file.
That total did not originate today.
The gallery originally contained 70 screenshots after GTA 6 Trailer 2 in May 2025 before expanding to 99 following the release of An Extended Look in August 2026. Reports at the time documented the addition of 29 images to Rockstar’s public media hub.
The new Launch Gallery is therefore best understood as a separate launch-focused presentation that Rockstar itself is promoting as featuring new screenshots rather than evidence that all 99 images in the existing download archive were released today.
GTA 6 Has More Than 160 Official Screenshots Across Its Current Galleries
Rockstar’s broader GTA 6 media library has now become enormous.
The official download section currently contains:
99 main GTA 6 screenshots, 51 images showcasing Ultimate Edition benefits, and 12 images covering the Vintage Vice City Pack.
That represents 162 official screenshots across those three categories, alongside 25 downloadable pieces of artwork and wallpaper.
The media archive also contains four official videos and nine downloadable clips.
Rockstar is effectively building one of its largest pre-release media libraries ever as GTA 6 approaches launch.
Rockstar Has Been Releasing New GTA 6 Material Almost Every Week
The Launch Gallery is the latest entry in an increasingly aggressive final marketing push.
On October 8, Rockstar revealed more about GTA 6’s in-game radio stations.
On October 15, the company released the official Launch Trailer.
On October 29, Rockstar detailed the game’s original score by Justice.
Then, on November 3, the company confirmed the final preload schedule.
Now, on November 5, Rockstar has opened the Launch Gallery.
The pattern is clear: GTA 6 marketing has entered its final pre-release phase.
GTA 6 Preloading Begins November 10
The new screenshots arrive only five days before players can begin downloading GTA 6.
Rockstar confirmed earlier this week that digital preloading begins on November 10.
On PlayStation 5, the preload begins at midnight local time.
For Xbox Series X|S, Rockstar says preloading begins globally at midnight GMT.
Rockstar’s GTA 6 homepage now prominently displays a “Pre-Load Begins November 10” link alongside the November 19 release date.
Physical code-in-box editions become available beginning November 12.
GTA 6 Launches November 19
The countdown is now entering its final days.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Rockstar’s official GTA 6 homepage continues to display the date prominently and also states that the game “Plays Best On PlayStation 5.”
The company has already released trailers, gameplay demonstrations, character profiles, music previews, details about the Ultimate Edition and extensive information about Leonida.
The Launch Gallery now adds another visual showcase immediately before players can begin preloading the game.
Rockstar Is Giving Players One Last Look at Leonida Before Launch
At this stage, GTA 6 no longer needs another major reveal to establish what it is.
Rockstar has already spent months introducing Jason, Lucia, Vice City, Leonida’s surrounding regions, the game’s radio stations and several major gameplay systems.
Instead, the Launch Gallery appears to serve a different purpose.
It is a final visual tour.
New images of robberies, characters, environments and life across Leonida give players another look at the world they will actually be entering on November 19 — without requiring another lengthy trailer or presentation.
And with preloading beginning in just five days, the name Rockstar chose for the page feels appropriate.
This is no longer simply another GTA 6 screenshot gallery.
It is the Launch Gallery.
