Rockstar Games is bringing the next big look at Grand Theft Auto VI to Netflix before anywhere else. Titled Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, the presentation will stream on the service and is expected to show gameplay, new story details, and fresh art of protagonists Jason and Lucia.
Quick answer: Watch Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look on Netflix on Aug. 27 at 2 p.m. CT. If you don’t have Netflix, it also lands on the Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the official GTA 6 website later that day at 8 p.m. CT.
Release time: Aug. 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CT
Where and when to watch An Extended Look
The premiere runs on Netflix first, then opens up to free platforms six hours later. That gap means Netflix subscribers get the earliest look, while everyone else can catch it the same day without a subscription.
| Platform | Time (Aug. 27) | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Netflix | 2:00 p.m. CT | Subscription required |
| Rockstar Games YouTube | 8:00 p.m. CT | Free |
| Official GTA 6 website | 8:00 p.m. CT | Free |
The Netflix listing for the showcase describes it as an extended look at GTA 6, “the next evolution in the groundbreaking Grand Theft Auto series,” and displays new art of Jason and Lucia. You can find it on its Netflix title page.
How to watch without Netflix
If you don’t subscribe to Netflix, you do not need to sign up to see the showcase. Wait for the 8 p.m. CT release on the Rockstar Games YouTube channel or the GTA 6 website, where it becomes available for free the same evening.
Why the showcase is on Netflix
Putting a video game showcase on Netflix is a departure from how Rockstar has handled past reveals. Previous marketing drops arrived as straightforward YouTube videos, so a full streaming premiere marks a new approach for the series. Netflix has been expanding its presence in gaming, and this deal places one of the most anticipated releases in front of that audience first.
What to expect from An Extended Look
Fans have waited more than a year for a follow-up beyond the earlier trailers, and this presentation is set to be larger in scope. So far, no actual gameplay footage has been shown outside of what appeared in those trailers, so the showcase is the likely place to see how the game plays.
- An extended look at GTA 6, described as the next evolution in the series.
- New art featuring protagonists Jason and Lucia.
- The first presumed look at gameplay, along with possible new story details.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the release now a little over three months away. The Extended Look is the clearest window yet into a game that has otherwise stayed largely under wraps, and it kicks off the marketing push heading into launch.
