An entry screen (also known as a loading screen) is a sequence of images that loop while a GTA game loads up. Entry screens always consist of official illustrated Rockstar artwork, usually depicting major characters and/or locations in the game. Entry screens have appeared in all Grand Theft Auto games up to date. In the 3D Universe they were broadcast after a title sequence, but the title sequence was removed for the HD Universe, where entry screens are longer and expanded.

Trivia

  • Grand Theft Auto Online's loading screen is the longest, followed by Grand Theft Auto V (Story Mode).
  • Special events show different images in boxes for information on GTA Online, these include, The San Andreas Flight School Update, The Independence Day Special, The High Life Update, The Business Update, The I'm Not A Hipster' Update, The Beach Bum Update, The Valentine's Day Massacre Update, and the Christmas Update.
  • On Xbox 360, holding LB will result in the background music turning off, until LB is let go again.
  • Selecting Online when in the online screen can sometimes take longer than just opening story and going into Online.
    • As of Patch 1.17, the button to select Online is now Square (PS3) or X (Xbox 360), and the player can now select random job in the menu.
  • In GTA: Liberty City Stories, sometimes for a split second, before the game starts loading saved data, you can see the "Welcome To Shoreside Vale" artwork, right after Vincenzo with his ring artwork. (PS2)
  • In the enhanced version of GTA V, the artworks (and length of the entire loading screen) will depend on the entry of the game, i.e, if the player loads GTA Online immediately, the entry screen may display longer and/or different artworks. Loading story-mode after leaving the Rockstar Editor also tends to display the rarer artworks.
