GTA 6 Extended Look: How to Download the Full 14.2GB Gameplay Video

The 26-minute Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look is available as a direct download straight from Rockstar Games, and it is a much cleaner copy than anything you will get from a streaming feed. The file weighs in at roughly 14.2GB, captured on a PlayStation 5 at 30 fps, and it keeps the texture detail and crowd density that video compression usually flattens out.

Quick answer: Open the official Grand Theft Auto VI videos page, scroll down to the Extended Look in the Media section, play it, then use the download button and pick where to save the ~14.2GB MP4. Make sure you have the free storage first.

Download the 14.2GB Extended Look from Rockstar’s site

The high-quality copy lives on the official Grand Theft Auto VI pages, not on YouTube. The whole process takes a few clicks, though the transfer time depends on your connection since the file is large.

Go to the official Grand Theft Auto VI site and open the videos area, or head straight to the An Extended Look page. On the homepage you can scroll down to the Featured section where the videos are shown.

Select the Extended Look video player at the top of the page and start playing the clip. If prompted, verify your age, since the presentation is age restricted.

Look for the download button. The full-quality file is the large one, so scroll all the way down to the Media section rather than grabbing the smaller player version. The button shows the ~14.2GB size.

Click the download button and choose where to store the MP4 on your device. The final file is named GTAVI_An_Extended_Look.mp4. Once it finishes, you can play it from a hard drive on any player that handles high-resolution MP4 video.

Note: there are two different downloads floating around. A smaller version sits around 2.3GB, while the pristine copy in the Media section is the 14.2GB one. If you want the sharpest picture, confirm the size before you commit.

Fix a stuck or buffering download button

Heavy traffic can leave the download button spinning with an endless loading animation, and the button may never resolve on phones. If the standard click does not start the transfer, these workarounds pull the same file directly.

Use a desktop browser on a PC rather than a smartphone, which tends to fail more often on a file this size.

Right-click the 14.2GB download button and choose Save as. This bypasses the loading animation and begins the transfer to a folder of your choice.

If Save as opens the media in a new tab instead, copy that direct link and paste it into a download manager such as the free, open-source jDownloader 2. Add it under new links, continue to the Link Grabber tab, then right-click and start the download. The MP4 lands in a few minutes on a fast line.

Comfortable with a terminal? The same file can be fetched with a direct request using the Rockstar referer and origin headers:

curl 'https://media-rockstargames-com.akamaized.net/VI/downloads/videos/GTAVI_An_Extended_Look/GTAVI_An_Extended_Look.mp4' 
  -H 'Referer: https://www.rockstargames.com/' 
  -H 'Origin: https://www.rockstargames.com' 
  --output GTAVI_An_Extended_Look.mp4

File size and quality differences

The direct download is noticeably sharper than the streaming versions because it skips the compression those services add. It is still not a fully uncompressed master, and it does not include HDR, but it holds up far better than the Netflix or YouTube feeds when you pause to study a single frame.

Version	Approx. size	Notes
Rockstar Media download	~14.2GB	Highest quality, 4K, no HDR
Rockstar player download	~2.3GB	Smaller 4K copy
YouTube stream	N/A	Free, softer detail and sharpness

Because it was captured entirely on a PS5 running at a steady 30 fps, the footage is a fair representation of how the game looks on standard current consoles. It runs 26 minutes and covers Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, seamless character switching, robberies, shootouts, scuba diving, police pursuits, and the state of Leonida.

Watch it free on YouTube instead

If you do not need the offline copy, the full presentation is free on Rockstar’s official YouTube channel, so no Netflix subscription is required. It is age restricted, so you may need to click through to the site to play it.

Whichever route you choose, the 14.2GB download remains the way to see the cleanest picture, while the stream is the fastest way to just watch. Line up the free storage, keep a desktop browser handy for the workaround, and you will have the Extended Look ready to replay on your own hardware.
