verified Live Aug 27Extended Look Showcase
"Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look" premieres on Netflix on Thursday, August 27, 2026 at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET, then goes free on Rockstar's YouTube channel and rockstargames.com at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET the same day — a six-hour Netflix exclusivity window, and Rockstar's first Netflix collaboration. Rockstar has not said what it contains beyond the title. A viral screenshot claiming a three-episode, 66-minute Netflix listing was shown to be faked.
