Rockstar announced GTA VI: An Extended Look for Netflix on August 27

On August 6, 2026, Rockstar Games announced Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look on the Rockstar Newswire. The video was scheduled to premiere on Netflix on Thursday, August 27 at 3 p.m. ET. At 9 p.m. ET the same day it was also due on Rockstar's official YouTube channel and the GTA VI site.

The schedule in other time zones

Rockstar only gave Eastern Time. Converted for viewers in the UK and Central Europe, the schedule looked like this:

• Netflix: Thursday, August 27, 2026, 8 p.m. BST and 9 p.m. CEST

• YouTube and the GTA VI site: Friday, August 28, 2026, 2 a.m. BST and 3 a.m. CEST

What the announcement left open

The post was only a few sentences long. Rockstar did not give the video's length or describe its content, and it said nothing about the terms of the Netflix partnership. It also repeated the November 19 release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and pointed to the open pre-orders.

How it turned out

The premiere went ahead as planned. On August 27, Rockstar said the video was playing on Netflix and had been captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5. Netflix made it available globally to all subscribers, listed it at 27 minutes and offered subtitles in 13 languages, including German. According to Netflix Tudum, Rockstar partnered with Netflix so that its members would see the footage first.
