GTA 5 News: New Screenshots, Music Leaked Before Release Date

Rockstar has released new screenshots from Grand Theft Auto 5, and a new leak shows off some of the music that will be available in the game.

On the official website for the game, Rockstar has revealed eight new screenshots of the game, showing off a couple different locations found within the city of Los Santos and the area surrounding it. Some of the highlights include the player flying over a winery or vineyard, a player (who looks like Trevor) in an argument with a character near a smoking car near an overpass, and a helicopter flying into a sunset. While these screenshots may not reveal much about Grand Theft Auto 5, they are nonetheless good teasers for gamers desperate to get their hands on the game. In addition, Rockstar has updated the travelogue for the game, giving players more information about the tattoo and piercing options for players (labeled under "Local Artisans"). Also on the travelogue is a teaser for the country club found in the game, which looks to be full of the elite of Los Santos, security guards, as well as two "carefully selected women" in bikinis. Finally, fitness and wellness is shown with a preview of a yoga program in the game.

Meanwhile, a U.K. preload for the digital version of the game has allowed users of the GTAForums to find out what music will be included in the game. The amount of variety is amazing in the game, as users will be able to to switch from Johnny Cash to Dr. Dre to Fergie. The game's radio stations also are previewed, which range from the classic hip-hop station West Coast Classics, the pop and dance station Non Stop Pop FM, and Vinewood Boulevard Radio for alternative rock fans. The Grand Theft Auto series has always had an excellent choice of music, and it looks as though that tradition will continue with Grand Theft Auto 5.

Grand Theft Auto 5 will release on Sept. 17 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game will have an offline single player mode featuring three playable characters, Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, and players can switch between them on the fly. In addition, players can create their own players and join with their friends in Grand Theft Auto Online. However, Grand Theft Auto Online will not be available at launch, but will become available on Oct. 1.

Look out for more Grand Theft Auto 5 news as the game closes in on its release date.
