What is the extended look?
It is a promotional special for Grand Theft Auto VI, not the game itself. Netflix describes it as captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5. Netflix’s title listing gives the special a runtime of 27 minutes and lists English as its original audio. See Netflix’s listing for Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look.
When does the full GTA VI game release?
Netflix’s August 27, 2026 article listed the separate game, Grand Theft Auto VI, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026, and described it as available for preorder. That date applies to the game, not the extended-look video. Details are in Netflix Tudum’s GTA VI article.
