Site Updates

September 23, 2026

• 162 official GTA 6 screenshots, up from 85. That's every shot on Rockstar's media hub, including the 29 added after the Extended Look. Tap New to see just those, or Editions for the Ultimate Edition and Vintage Vice City Pack shots.
• GTA VI: The Album is now on the Media Vault: 34 original songs, arriving with the game on November 19.
• GTA 6 at a Glance on the home page: release date, editions, characters, map, trailers and soundtrack in one place.
• Pages are much lighter. Styling and scripts shared by every page are downloaded once and cached, so most pages are now 70–160 KB instead of 250–365 KB.
• Easier to find in search. Clearer page titles and descriptions, and the official trailers can now show up in Google's video results.
• Sharing a game page shows that game. Links to GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, GTA IV, GTA V and Red Dead 2 now preview with their own screenshot.
• Home-screen icon fixed. Adding the site to an iPhone home screen used to show a blank tile.

Every fix below started as a message from one of you — the tiny video player, the missing thumbnails, the slow pages. You spotted it, you told us, we fixed it. Found something else? Tell us →

Fixed

• Videos play full size. Vertical clips were squeezed into a widescreen sliver — about 6% of a phone screen. The player now takes the shape of the video.
• Thumbnails load instantly. Preview images are made once on the server instead of your browser downloading chunks of video to guess at one.
• Pages load faster. All 14 pages now share one stylesheet your browser downloads once, and fonts no longer hold up the text.
• Videos with spaces or apostrophes in the name (like “Tommy's New Empire.mp4”) could silently fail to load.
• Clicked videos start sooner — buffering begins the moment you press play.
• The video page never cached, forcing a full re-download on every visit.
• Two game pages were invisible to Google. All 14 are now in the sitemap and linked.
• The Forums page had different menus to the rest of the site. Everything matches now.
• Both themes were contrast-checked so every bit of text is readable, measured not eyeballed.
• Screenshot galleries are 40% lighter. Every official shot was recompressed with no visible difference — the classics pages shed almost 7 MB, which phones will feel.
• Your browser now keeps what it already has. Images, styling and clips are cached properly and pages are compressed on the way out, so repeat visits are much quicker.
• Link previews are leaner too — the card that shows when the site is shared is a third of its old size.
• The footer's fine print now matches reality — where screenshots actually come from, and an honest line about the third-party services that fonts and feeds load from.

New

• A Red Dead Redemption 2 page — Rockstar's other masterpiece gets the full treatment: official screenshots sweep cinematically behind the title, the whole page wears frontier ember-and-parchment instead of neon, and a live fan-art gallery pulls from hand-picked Red Dead artists with every piece credited. Look for the glowing crimson RDR2 pill in the top bar — it's on every page.
• The GTA V page went full Los Santos. Roughly double the content — the whole map, the five story heists, a twelve-year GTA Online timeline, the mod community, radio, and eight mystery rabbit holes — dressed in Michael-blue, Franklin-green and Trevor-orange.
• The Classics section — every mainline GTA that led to 6, with brand new pages for GTA III, Vice City and GTA IV.
• Screenshots and news on every game page — official shots plus community work, always credited, and a live feed per game.
• GTA V moved to the top bar. Look for the glowing pill — it's there on every page, phone included.
• NightLife & DayLife themes. Since retired — the site now runs NightLife only, with the HYPR visual overhaul.
• Home-page video thumbnails got a look. They rest in the site's colours and gently fade to the real frame — hover to hold it.
• DayLife turned golden. Retired with the theme picker.
• The footer got the logo. The SixStarsWanted artwork now anchors a centred footer on every page.

Coming up

• Faster video starts. Some clips are built in a way that delays playback; they're being re-processed now.
• A sideways wobble. On narrow phones the home page can scroll ~20px sideways. Old bug, known, being hunted properly rather than papered over.
• The Forums, finalizing beta at GTA6VCT.COM — preview the boards in the meantime.
