Rockstar Drops 63 New GTA 6 Screenshots as Pre-Orders Open

Rockstar timed it like a launch, not a leak. On June 24, 2026, the studio pushed out 63 new Grand Theft Auto VI screenshots, the largest official image drop since Trailer 2, exactly one day before pre-orders go live on June 25. The release was not random fan service. Most of the frames double as a product catalog for what your money buys, with a heavy focus on the Vintage Vice City Pack pre-order bonus and the content locked to the $99.99 Ultimate Edition.

What ties the batch together is choice. A large share of the shots are devoted to dressing Jason and Lucia, showing off clothing, hairstyles, tattoos and the kind of facial detail that makes the two leads look genuinely different from frame to frame. Vehicles get just as much screen time, from showroom customization to a Classic Car Collection activity where you hunt down abandoned and unfinished project cars scattered across the world, then restore and claim them. It is the first time Rockstar has shown this much of the moment-to-moment customization loop in still form rather than a trailer cut.

The Ultimate Edition pitch is now concrete instead of a bullet list. Per the press materials accompanying the images, Ultimate buyers get access to two exclusive vehicle mod shops, weapon variants with custom grips, engravings and scopes, and the Shitzu Squalo, a flashy boat that opens up the sea and a weapons crate. The Vintage Vice City Pack, free with any pre-order, leans hard into the 1980s aesthetic of the original Vice City, layering retro cosmetics over the modern Leonida setting. For anyone weighing Standard against Ultimate, this drop is the most useful comparison material Rockstar has handed out so far, and our editions guide breaks down exactly what the extra $20 buys.

Two caveats are worth stating plainly. The headline figure of 63 is solid and consistent across outlets, but the screenshots are a curated marketing set, not a gameplay demo, so they show fidelity and breadth rather than how anything actually plays. Reporting frames these as a first clear look at certain mechanics, yet Rockstar has not published a formal resolution spec, so treat any precise 4K or technical claim as outlet description rather than a confirmed number. There is still no Trailer 3, no PC date, and no change to the two-edition lineup. What changed on June 24 is simply how much of the game you can now see before you commit a pre-order tomorrow.

The smart move for buyers is to treat these images as the real pre-order brief. The pricing is set at $79.99 Standard and $99.99 Ultimate in the US, the free Vintage Vice City Pack ships with either, and the release date remains November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S. With pre-orders opening June 25, this batch is the last big information beat before wallets come out, which is exactly why Rockstar dropped it now.
