Correction, August 27, 2026: An earlier version of this article reported a 30-minute runtime based on a BBC report. Netflix’s app now lists Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look at 26 minutes, and the article has been updated to reflect the newer runtime.

Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look is listed at 26 minutes for its Netflix premiere on Thursday, August 27, 2026. The presentation remains scheduled for 3 p.m. EDT.

Netflix’s app listing identifies the program as a 26-minute presentation and places its start at 21:00 CEST, or 3 p.m. EDT.

The first showing will require an active Netflix subscription. The extended look will then become free to watch through the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the Grand Theft Auto VI website at 9 p.m. EDT, as outlined in the August 27 schedule.

Rockstar has not revealed which parts of the game will appear. The special will nevertheless be the first extended gameplay presentation for GTA VI after the trailers released in December 2023 and May 2025. Neither of those trailers included actual gameplay footage, so the upcoming broadcast is set to offer a much longer look at how the game plays than Rockstar’s previous video material.

The announcement also arrives while alleged GTA VI footage continues to circulate online. That unofficial material should be kept separate from the 26-minute figure, which refers to Rockstar’s planned presentation rather than the length of the leaked clips.
