Pool

A bar pool table under neon, a cue mid-stroke and the balls still spread. One of three bar games in the official material.

The press screenshot is taken at table height. A man in a pink vest leans into the shot with the cue drawn back; the cue ball, the eight and a striped ball sit in view on the cloth. The rail is lit in purple and pink, and a rack of cues stands against the wall behind.

Cal Hampton stands opposite in a pastel shirt watching the shot. Two more people are at the bar behind him, and the room has the wood-and-neon look the material uses for every bar in Port Gellhorn.

A cue mid-stroke is the giveaway that this is meant to be played rather than passed. Whether it is a full physics game with its own aiming interface, the frame does not show.

How to recognise it

• A bar pool table with a lit rail
• A cue drawn back mid-stroke, balls still spread
• A rack of cues against the wall
• Cal Hampton opposite, watching the shot
• Wood-and-neon bar interior

The frame it comes from

The frame is a still from the official Press pack, which carries no timecode. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 2227 by 1037 of it. Also in it: Cal Hampton.

What we still do not know

• Whether pool is playable and whether it has an aiming interface
• Whether you can bet on a game, as in GTA V's golf and tennis
• Which bar this is
• Whether darts and other bar games return as well
