We will be back with some more to see in a few weeks or so
This article covers official screenshots released for Grand Theft Auto V.
The first two screenshots for Grand Theft Auto V were released by Rockstar Games on July 12, 2012, in an "Asked & Answered" Newswire post[1][2], almost 9 months after the game's first trailer and initial unveiling, and 4 months before the game's second trailer. The first screenshot depicts a Police Maverick flying above Rockford Hills, and the second depicts a boardwalk at Mirror Park.
In August 2012, 10 more screenshots were released in three individual Newswire posts:
- "Transport", featuring 3 images, released on August 20[3]
- "Leisure", also featuring 3 images, released August 22[4]
- "Business", featuring 4 images, released August 24.[5]
Later that week, it was announced that there would be "more to see" in "a few weeks or so".[5]
On December 24, 2012, 5 more screenshots were unveiled as part of a 'Happy Holidays' Newswire post.[6]
The following year, on March 27, 2013, 10 more screenshots were released in a Newswire post titled "Sunsets, Seas, Skies and So On...".[7]
In May 2013, various game magazines and websites, including GameSpot, Destructoid and Game Informer released articles on first-hand experience with the game and included official screenshots not previously released by Rockstar Games.[8][9][10][11]
Many of the official screenshots published by Rockstar Games were originally available to view at the GTA V section of the Rockstar Games website (formerly Social Club). This section was removed after the website's overhaul in November 2023.
