Rockstar released a new GTA 6 Launch Gallery on November 5, 2026, exactly two weeks before launch. We counted 39 new screenshots on the official page: 15 of Vice City, 20 of Jason and Lucia, and four of Leonida’s wider regions. Here is what each set shows, which details are actually new, and what is still only reported, like the Kodak Black cameo.
Last checked on November 5, 2026 at 20:00 CET. Official The gallery itself, the image set names and the dates come from Rockstar Games (Newswire post “Explore the Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Gallery” and rockstargames.com/VI/launch-gallery). Reported marks claims from outlets such as IGN, Polygon and Complex that Rockstar has not confirmed. Image counts are HUDWire’s own tally.
How many screenshots are in the GTA 6 Launch Gallery?
Coverage disagreed on the number: Polygon reported 36, while IGN reported 39. We loaded the official page and counted every unique image file Rockstar serves. The answer is 39, grouped under seven set names:
| Rockstar set | New images | Numbering on the page | What dominates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vice City | 15 | 13 to 27 | Skyline, marinas, clubs, street life, aerials |
| Jason Duval | 9 | 11 to 19 | Shootouts, a motorbike, the gym, refueling |
| Jason and Lucia | 7 | 14 to 20 | Bank heist, car chases, nightlife |
| Lucia Caminos | 4 | 11 to 14 | Close-ups with a pistol, a police stop |
| Grassrivers | 2 | 07 to 08 | Alligators and a night airboat |
| Port Gellhorn | 1 | 07 | Delights Cabaret neon |
| Leonida Keys | 1 | 07 | Scuba diving with reef fish |
| Total | 39 | — | 51% feature the two leads |
Our math Twenty of the 39 images (51%) center on Jason, Lucia or both, and 15 (38%) are Vice City scenes. Only four images (10%) cover Leonida outside the city, which fits Rockstar’s pre-launch focus on the two leads rather than the wider map. Our GTA 6 map size guide covers what Rockstar has said about the regions.
What the new screenshots show
We went through all 39 at full size. These are the details worth knowing, with how solid each one is:
| What you can see | Set | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Jason and Lucia robbing a bank, masked, with hostages on the floor | Jason and Lucia | Official official image; robberies were already in the trailers |
| Jason pumping gas at a night station | Jason Duval | Official image; refueling was described in the Edge preview |
| A diver among reef fish and a lionfish in the Leonida Keys | Leonida Keys | Official image; no diving mechanics published yet |
| A night airboat and alligators in the Grassrivers | Grassrivers | Official image |
| Jason on a bench press in a gym | Jason Duval | Official image; whether stats exist is unknown |
| Lucia with a pistol as police lights close in | Lucia Caminos | Official image; ties into the wanted system |
| Club and strip-club interiors, including Delights Cabaret in Port Gellhorn | Vice City / Port Gellhorn | Official image |
| A man in a Jack of Hearts setting identified as Kodak Black | Vice City | Reported IGN, Complex; Rockstar does not name him |
| A daytime Vice City skyline over a marina, plus a night skyline | Vice City | Official image |
Is Kodak Black really in GTA 6?
Reported IGN reports that one new Vice City screenshot shows the rapper Kodak Black holding a cup with the Jack of Hearts logo, the club Travis Scott name-checks on his GTA 6 track “RHYNO”. Complex made the same identification, and “Kodak” trended on X in the US on Thursday evening.
Official What Rockstar has confirmed: the image is official and sits in the Vice City set. Rockstar does not caption or name anyone in the gallery. Real musicians are confirmed as radio hosts (see our GTA 6 radio stations list), and GTA Online has used real artists before, but an in-game cameo is only confirmed when Rockstar or the credits say so. We will update this when that happens.
Regions shown outside Vice City
- Grassrivers (2 images): an alligator hunt at a waterside camp and an airboat with spotlights at night. The wetlands match earlier trailer footage.
- Leonida Keys (1): a rare underwater still of a diver among reef fish.
- Port Gellhorn (1): Delights Cabaret, a neon club also listed in earlier Port Gellhorn media.
No new Ambrosia or Mount Kalaga images are in this batch. For the full region list and the official poster map, see the GTA 6 map poster.
Why Rockstar dropped stills two weeks out
Our analysis Rockstar has already released its launch trailer (October 15) and the preload details (November 3). Stills cost nothing to spoil and keep social feeds busy during the last two weeks before launch, a quiet stretch with no new trailer. Expect the next official beats around the November 10 preload and the November 19 launch, when Rockstar has said the printable cover poster and map go up as a free download.
