- Small-town streets, trailer parks, industrial outskirts and swamps, plus neon nightlife and an underwater shot of a hammerhead shark "swimming through a coral-lined passage" (GameRant).
Region guides: Grassrivers, Ambrosia.
Why it matters
Reported: GameRant says Rockstar "has already confirmed that GTA 6 will feature diving", but has shown only "a few limited looks" underwater (GameRant). Analysis: the shark shot is one of the clearest of those looks. Rockstar hasn't explained how diving works.
Reported: Insider Gaming highlights "the clear attention to detail on the characters" (Insider Gaming). Earlier official wildlife details are in our animals guide.
Where to see them
- RockstarINTEL has the highest-resolution versions supplied by Edge.

- Edge on GamesRadar+ runs them with the feature.
