Rockstar Games has announced a surprise collaboration with Netflix for the next major reveal of Grand Theft Auto VI. Titled Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, this presentation will premiere exclusively on Netflix before arriving on YouTube later the same day.
This marks a first-of-its-kind partnership between Rockstar and the streaming giant, reflecting Netflix’s growing ambitions in gaming and the cultural significance of the GTA franchise. The announcement was made through Rockstar’s official channels, confirming that the Extended Look will air on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
When and Where to Watch
Here’s the full schedule for the GTA 6 Extended Look premiere:
| Event | Time (ET) | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Netflix Premiere | 3:00 PM ET, August 27 | Netflix (subscribers only) |
| YouTube & Official Release | 9:00 PM ET, August 27 | Rockstar YouTube & GTA VI site |
Time Zone Quick Reference:
- UK (BST): Netflix at 8:00 PM, YouTube at 2:00 AM (Aug 28)

The Extended Look will be exclusive to Netflix for six hours before becoming available to everyone on Rockstar’s official YouTube channel and the GTA VI website. A Netflix spokesperson called the partnership a “reflection of what we hope Netflix is becoming: a place where the most ambitious storytelling can find the biggest possible audience”.
What Will the Extended Look Show?
Rockstar has not explicitly stated what the Extended Look will contain, but the title strongly suggests we will see extended gameplay footage for the first time.
To date, Rockstar has released two trailers for GTA 6:
- Trailer 1 (2023): Introduced the protagonists Jason and Lucia
- Trailer 2 (2025): Showcased the setting—Vice City and the state of Leonida
The Extended Look comes just under three months before the game’s release, a timing similar to Red Dead Redemption 2‘s extended gameplay videos. Fans are hoping for answers to key questions:
- How does the dual-protagonist system work?
- What side activities will fill the open world?
- What new gameplay mechanics are being introduced?
It could also include design drafts, “making-of” footage, or developer commentary. Regardless of the format, this presentation is expected to kick off the final phase of Rockstar’s marketing campaign.
