Rockstar Games has released Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, offering a longer preview of the open-world game. It first premiered on Netflix on August 27, 2026, before becoming available for free through Rockstar’s official YouTube channel and the Grand Theft Auto VI website later that day.
If you are wondering how to watch the GTA 6 Extended Look now, you do not need to wait for another event. The full presentation is already available online, with YouTube being the easiest option.
Watch It For Free On YouTube
The simplest way to watch the GTA 6 Extended Look is through Rockstar Games’ official YouTube channel. The extended presentation arrived on YouTube at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on August 27. For viewers in India, that was approximately 6:30 a.m. on August 28.

Can You Watch It On Netflix?
Yes. Netflix was the first platform to show Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look. The presentation premiered for Netflix members on August 27 at 3 p.m. Eastern Time.
This was an unusual arrangement for a major video game reveal. Rockstar Games partnered with Netflix to give subscribers an early viewing window, with the free release on Rockstar’s channels following six hours later.
You can still watch it on Netflix, but subscribing just for this video is unnecessary.
What Is Shown In The Extended Look?
The presentation runs for roughly 26 to 27 minutes and offers a broader look at Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar confirmed that the footage was captured entirely in-game on PlayStation 5.
The extended look follows Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, the game’s two central characters, as they move through the fictional state of Leonida. Vice City returns as the major urban setting, while the preview also shows areas beyond the city.
Among the scenes and activities shown are:
- Police chases and shootouts
- Driving through Vice City and surrounding areas
- Jason and Lucia interacting
- Scuba diving and outdoor activities
- Basketball and recreational moments
- Nightlife, businesses, streets, and public areas
- Criminal activities and robberies
The footage highlights detailed environments, character animations, traffic, pedestrians, and atmosphere.
Do You Need To Watch The Previous Trailers?
No. You can watch the Extended Look without seeing the earlier trailers. However, watching Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 and Trailer 2 first can make the presentation easier to follow.
The first two trailers introduced the setting, characters, tone, and relationship between Jason and Lucia. The Extended Look builds on that foundation.
If you have avoided GTA 6 spoilers, remember that this presentation reveals substantially more than the previous trailers. Watching it is best if you are comfortable seeing official gameplay and story details before launch.
When Does GTA 6 Release?
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026. Rockstar has confirmed PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as the launch platforms.
The Extended Look arrives only a few months before release, giving players a substantial official preview.
For anyone waiting since the first trailer, this is one of the best ways to see what Rockstar has been building.
