Full background for GTA 6 official artwork restored by a fan

The restoration comes from X user @mnm345x on November 10, 2025, who posted the image with the caption. He is the same person who prophetically predicted the new release date for GTA 6.

When asked about the process, he replied that the GTA 6 official artwork restoration took 6-7 hours to complete. His post quickly gained traction, with fans praising the level of detail and patience required to make the piece look seamless.

The artist explained that the project involved merging multiple versions of Rockstar’s official artwork, which had been released in different aspect ratios. Each one revealed slightly more of the background than the others. By combining them and hand-painting the missing areas, @mnm345 managed to reconstruct what appears to be a complete version of the image, complete with extended lighting, skyline details, and the full Vice City backdrop.

Fans praise the restoration for looking too official

The finished picture provides a broader look at the coastal setting in GTA 6, displaying a more extensive view of the city skyline and also capturing the specific warm, neon-filled visual style that Rockstar Games is famous for.

People who saw it complimented the artist for how accurately they recreated the overall feeling and the particular effects of the light, with many stating that the GTA 6 official artwork appeared to be the same as the first promotional images released by the company.

The community’s creativity keeps GTA 6 alive during the long wait

With GTA 6’s release now delayed to November 2026, Rockstar’s marketing schedule has slowed down considerably. The studio’s decision to space out its reveals as possibly prioritizing the GTA Online Mansions DLC trailer before releasing GTA 6 trailer 3, has left fans craving anything new to analyze or discuss.
