Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look on Netflix — follow live updates on everything we know so far, and what to expect from the big gameplay reveal

Grand Theft Auto 6 is generating immense anticipation as Netflix prepares to host the much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look presentation on August 27 at 3PM ET. This event, spanning 27 minutes, will offer the first genuine glimpse into the gameplay mechanics of the highly-anticipated game, following a series of tantalizing teaser trailers that have captivated the gaming community.

Rockstar Games, the developer behind GTA 6, has maintained a tight-lipped approach, only confirming that the presentation will showcase fresh gameplay captured directly on the PS5. While the video is exclusive to Netflix subscribers at first, it will later be accessible on the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the game's website. The decision to premiere the event on Netflix has sparked controversy, as it excludes non-subscribers from the initial viewing experience.

The presentation will not only provide a first look at the game's gameplay but may also offer a behind-the-scenes look at the development process. While Netflix users will be the first to watch the event, those without a subscription will still have the opportunity to watch it six hours later on the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel.

To watch the Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look, users must have a Netflix subscription. The event will then be available on the Rockstar Games YouTube Channel and the GTA 6 website six hours later. For those who don't want to pay for a subscription, subscribing and activating notifications will ensure they are alerted once the video is live.

The teaser trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look has captured attention, showcasing gameplay on a PS5 for the first time. However, leaks from the mysterious "Cyberleek" have raised questions about the true platform and content of the leaks. The presentation will demonstrate the game's performance on the PS5, rather than the more enhanced PS5 Pro. This may prompt speculation about the extent of graphical improvements in the Pro version, possibly including advancements in Ray Tracing technology.

The 27-minute runtime of the event seems to be just right, offering enough time to experience the game's scale, movement, and pace without overwhelming the audience with information before the official release. In addition to the gameplay showcase, a Dazed interview with Rockstar North's senior figures provides additional insights into the development team's aspirations for the game, including their hopes for creating compelling characters and narratives.
