On August 6, 2026, Rockstar Games announced that a new Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA6) video, "Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look," will premiere exclusively on Netflix on August 27. It is the series' first partnership of this kind with Netflix. It goes live first on Netflix at 3 p.m. Eastern Time on August 27, and six hours after that it will also be distributed on the official YouTube channel and the GTA6 official site. The release date remains November 19, 2026, unchanged.

When and Where You Can Watch
The schedule differs depending on where you watch.
- Netflix (exclusive early premiere): August 27 at 3 p.m. ET. Watch at netflix.com/VI.
- Official YouTube channel and the GTA6 official site: August 27 at 9 p.m. ET.
In other words, Netflix members get to see the video six hours ahead of the general release on YouTube and the official site. Even without a Netflix subscription, you can watch it the same day on the official YouTube channel and elsewhere.
What "An Extended Look" Is
What's being released is described as a new video that introduces the contents of GTA6 in more detail than before. Rockstar has named it "An Extended Look," positioning it as a follow-up to the trailers released so far that goes deeper into the game itself.
What stands out is that it is being delivered through a first-ever partnership with Netflix. Brandon Riegg, who oversees nonfiction series at Netflix, commented that the anticipation and excitement around GTA6 is unprecedented, and that the company welcomes the chance to bring the next chapter of its story to Netflix members first. Netflix has described the partnership as reflecting its direction of bringing ambitious work in every medium to a large audience.
It's worth noting that while fans have received this as the equivalent of a "third trailer," Rockstar itself uses the name "An Extended Look" rather than "trailer" — a distinction worth keeping in mind.
Background and Current Status
GTA6 arrives 13 years after the release of its predecessor, GTA5. Netflix began producing its own original programming in earnest around the same period as GTA5, and the partnership between the two has been presented as an example of content reaching across media.
Pre-orders for GTA6 opened on June 25. The release date is November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No release window has been announced for the PC version at this point.
The official synopsis describes Jason and Lucia, who have long been dealt a bad hand, getting pulled into a criminal conspiracy spreading across the state of Leonida after one "easy score" goes wrong, leaving them to rely on each other to survive. "An Extended Look" is expected to show this story and the setting of Vice City in more detail than before.
Summary
What Rockstar has officially revealed is this: the new GTA6 video "An Extended Look" premieres exclusively on Netflix on August 27; the same day, six hours later, it also goes live on the official YouTube channel and the GTA6 site; and the release date remains November 19.
The format itself — a first-ever partnership with Netflix — is what characterizes this announcement, and it shows that video releases for the series are increasingly being treated as events rather than simple trailer drops. What the video actually contains will be known on the day. We will revisit it once the contents are clear.
