An Extended Look: about 27 minutes of GTA VI footage premiered on Netflix and YouTube

On August 27, 2026, Rockstar Games released Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, a long cut of footage from the game. It premiered on Netflix first. According to the Rockstar Newswire, it reached Rockstar's YouTube channel and the official GTA VI site at 9 p.m. ET the same day.

What Rockstar and Netflix confirm

• Rockstar says the video was captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5.

• Netflix lists it at 27 minutes, while Rockstar's own video page gives a running time of 26:48.

• On Netflix it was available globally to all subscribers, with subtitles in 13 languages including German.

• Netflix Tudum says Rockstar partnered with Netflix so that Netflix members would see the footage first.

Rockstar presents the footage as the largest step forward the series has taken. That is the publisher's own assessment. The game itself is due on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

What the press spotted in the footage

Push Square went through the video in detail. The points below are the outlet's own observations, not statements from Rockstar.

• a karma-style system that reacted positively when a dog was petted and negatively during a store robbery

• instant switching between Jason and Lucia when they are together, with a delay of a few seconds when they are apart

• a six-star wanted level

• police who do not appear on the minimap until the Focus mechanic reveals them

• side activities such as track racing, jet skis, weightlifting and scuba diving

What remains open

Rockstar does not say whether the capture was made on a standard PS5 or a PS5 Pro. The systems described by the press are not mentioned in Rockstar's own text about the video. Until Rockstar explains them, they are observations rather than confirmed features.
