GTA 6 + Netflix. Just completely out of nowhere. But it’s not a joke.

Announced today by its creator, Rockstar Games, is “Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look” and it will be premiering on Netflix on August 27 at 3pm Eastern.

If you’re still at work or you don’t subscribe to Netflix, don’t panic, it will be added to YouTube later.

Netflix has an exclusive on probably the hottest show of the year, but not for long. Later the very same day, August 27, the same show will be uploaded to the Rockstar YouTube channel and the GTA 6 website at 9pm Eastern.

What are we actually going to see, though? That’s still a secret. But since December 2023 we’ve only had two actual trailers, and neither of those has shown us any gameplay. Both were full cinematics showing off some of the characters and locations we can expect to see in Vice City.

So, surely you’d expect an “extended look” to at least show us some gameplay, right?

At this point, though, any information would be good information. We know nothing official about the story, the size of the map, any online plans, gameplay. It’s the most hyped game of all time and we know essentially nothing about it.

We do know that it’s currently scheduled to release on November 19, 2026, and that to play at launch you’ll need to be on Xbox Series X|S or PS5. And that you can pre-order GTA 6 now.
