Rockstar Games is set to offer an extended look at Grand Theft Auto 6 ahead of its November launch, with a special preview scheduled to debut on Netflix. This marks an unusual distribution strategy, as the "Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look" will be exclusively available on the streaming platform for several hours before wider release.
The preview is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on August 27 at 3 PM ET (12 PM PT, 8 PM BST, 9 PM CEST, 10 PM SAST). For viewers in Australia and Japan, this will translate to 7 AM AEST and 5 AM JST on August 28, respectively.
Following a six-hour exclusivity window on Netflix, the "Extended Look" will become available on YouTube and the official Grand Theft Auto 6 website. This broader release will occur at 9 PM ET (6 PM PT) on August 27, extending into the early morning hours of August 28 for European and Asian time zones.
While a Netflix subscription is not required to view the preview, as it will be accessible on YouTube shortly after its initial Netflix debut, the service offers various subscription tiers. These range from a $9 per month ad-supported plan to a $27 per month Premium subscription.
Rockstar Games has remained tight-lipped regarding the specific content of the preview. However, anticipation is high among fans, with expectations for new gameplay footage and a detailed look at the mechanics of Grand Theft Auto 6. Given the series' history, the preview is likely to showcase driving and shooting elements, potentially offering a closer examination of Vice City, the game's setting.
