GTA VI: An Extended Look
▶ Watch on YouTube (age-restricted — no embeds)An Extended Look is Rockstar's third and by far most substantial GTA VI release — announced August 6, 2026 and premiered August 27, 2026 on Netflix, then published to Rockstar's YouTube channel and the official GTA VI site at 9 p.m. ET the same day. Rockstar's description: captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5, showcasing 'the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet'. Where Trailers 1 and 2 were cinematic, this is 20-plus minutes of the actual game: Jason and Lucia working their way up Vice City's criminal ladder, mission play, open-world activities and systems shown in sequence. It arrived alongside a wave of press previews, making it the single largest drop of verifiable gameplay information to date.
