verified Aired Aug 27Extended Look Showcase
"Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look" premiered on Netflix on August 27, 2026 and went up free on Rockstar's YouTube channel the same evening. It runs about 27 minutes, all captured in-game on PS5, and is the longest look at the game so far: missions, shootouts, robberies, car theft, police chases, character switching and side activities. The viral screenshot claiming a three-episode, 66-minute Netflix listing had been faked.
