Rockstar put 29 GTA 6 screenshots online in 4K, and three had never been seen
The full press set is now public at native resolution. Three of the shots never appeared in any preview, and the rest are worth zooming right into.

Rockstar's quietly put its full Grand Theft Auto 6 screenshot set online in 4K. Most of the 29 images went out with the Extended Look preview run, but this is the first time you can get them at native resolution, and three of them are completely new.
The three new shots
The first is filed as Jason and Lucia 3. They're mid drive, and the detail's all in the customisation: new haircuts on both of them, piercings, fresh tattoo work down Lucia's arm, a watch on Jason's wrist and a Chancy's cup in his hand. Chancy's has already turned up in an in-game advert, so it looks likely you'll be able to visit one.
The second, Jason and Lucia 7, drops them into an industrial freight elevator. Lucia's got a shirt tied around her waist and sunglasses pushed up into her hair, they're both armed, and Jason has an arm around her.
The third is Vice City 10, a clean daylight look at the Pagasi residences. Those curved towers have been sitting in the background of other shots for months, and there's a third one going up behind them.
The details you only get at 4K
The bank vault shot is the one people will keep zooming into. Tens and twenties hang in the air around Jason and Lucia, and the faces printed on them appear to be Red Dead Redemption 2 presidents. It's a nod you can only make out now the resolution's there.
Lucia's pistol outside a check cashing store is the other one to stop on. There's tape on the grip, a sticker stuck to the body and scuffing across the slide, and that's a strong hint that weapon condition is a real system in the game, with the wear there on purpose.
Then there's the material work. In one shot Jason's standing in the rain, and you can see the water soaking into the fabric of his hood, the way it would with a real hoodie. It doesn't sit on top in little beads.
The set closes on Jason and Lucia in the Grass Rivers at sunset, with three police airboats and a helicopter closing in. It looks like the frame right before everything comes apart.
Who are you more looking forward to playing?
Rockstar has not said how switching between them works.
