Released on July 12, 2012, this was among the first GTA 5 screenshots to come out. This picture showcases the skylines of Los Santos and it also reveals the massive size of the city.

The Vinewood Walk of Fame is obviously based on the landmark in Hollywood bearing the same name, and Rockstar faithfully recreated it in their game. This picture shows off the fascinating Vinewood neighborhood, but it also gives a glimpse into how the NPCs behave in the game world.

They can be seen engaging in various activities, like taking pictures, simply chatting, using their mobile phones, and so on. We're hoping to see something similar in the next game, with even more advanced NPCs.

Released on August 22, 2012, this was the first look at some of the new activities that players would get in Grand Theft Auto 5. What many fans didn't get at the time was that Rockstar also showcased one of the protagonist's houses in this frame. The tennis court in this picture is right behind Michael's residence in Los Santos.

Fans are hoping that the next game will have even more activities and side missions, and this might also be showcased in one of the GTA 6 screenshots.

By December 2012, Rockstar had released several screenshots already, but fans were still eagerly awaiting to see an official reveal of the protagonists. This wish was granted on December 24, when the developers unveiled Michael, Franklin, and Trevor in a gloomy screenshot that highlights their features under the nighttime glow.

Although we've taken a good look at what Jason and Lucia look like in the trailer, some official GTA 6 screenshots would be much appreciated.
