LIVE: Rockstar Set to Finally Reveal Official GTA 6 Gameplay

As the long-awaited day approaches, Rockstar Games is set to unveil the official gameplay of Grand Theft Auto 6, the highly anticipated sequel to the franchise's wildly popular titles. IGN is providing live coverage of the event, gathering news from across the internet. The announcement of GTA 6 occurred four-and-a-half years ago when the studio confirmed work on the new installment was underway, following two trailers and two delays.

The official gameplay reveal is set to take place on Netflix, with an exclusive six-hour window beginning at 5am AEST (Sydney) on Friday, August 28. The Netflix reveal will be entirely captured from in-game footage on PlayStation 5, and will last for 27 minutes. Other global release times for the Netflix reveal include 11am AEST (Sydney) on YouTube, 4am AEST (Seoul) on YouTube, and 10am CST (Shanghai) on YouTube.

Rockstar Games has faced numerous gameplay leaks in the lead up to the reveal, but excitement for the upcoming release remains strong, with the game expected to launch on November 19, 2026. A cover story in Dazed magazine has provided additional insights into GTA 6, revealing that players will be able to engage in activities such as eating, exercising, and sleeping, with each activity impacting the game's two protagonists, Jason and Lucia.
