For months, video game enjoyers have been wondering when we’d actually get to see some real gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto VI prior to its release in November. Over the past few days, leakers have been sharing a lot of footage online, but today we’ll get to see something official.
Rockstar Games is bringing “an extended look” at GTA VI that will air today, Aug. 27, on Netflix, at 3 p.m. ET. If you can’t or don’t want to watch it on Netflix, the same footage will appear on Rockstar’s YouTube channel at 9 p.m. ET that night. The Netflix website also states, “Coming August 27: See an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI, the next evolution in the groundbreaking Grand Theft Auto series.

Fans have been speculating for months about when the next GTA VI trailer will finally see the light of day. Interestingly, neither Rockstar Games nor Netflix actually uses the word trailer, so it’s unclear what form this “extended look” will take.

Likewise, Rockstar’s post didn’t include any new footage or even a clear description of what we’ll see, but it’s easy enough to make an educated guess. The game is out on Nov. 19, and we’ve seen very little gameplay footage from official sources.
It’s also worth briefly noting that, as someone who has followed video game news very closely for more than 20 years, I can’t recall a single game trailer airing first on a paid streaming service. That’s the world Rockstar has created for itself.
As a reminder, you have until the middle of November to save up $100 for the version of the game that comes with every feature.
