How to Watch on Netflix and YouTube
Netflix subscribers can watch the presentation first by opening the app or website shortly before the scheduled time and searching for Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, where it may also appear in upcoming or newly added sections.
For non-subscribers, the same video drops six hours later on the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the main Grand Theft Auto VI website. Rockstar has not indicated any footage differences between the Netflix and YouTube versions.
What to Expect in the Extended Presentation
Rockstar has not confirmed the full runtime or format, but the extended look is expected to feature protagonists Jason and Lucia, providing additional context regarding their relationship, criminal work, and story pacing between personal drama and large-scale heists. Set across Vice City and the broader Leonida region—incorporating urban areas, coastal spots, highways, rural spaces, and swamps—the showcase may highlight world connectivity, crowd density, traffic, wildlife, and weather. Players could also see more details on driving, combat, stealth, character switching, interiors, and random events.
