Rockstar Games has one week to give fans a much closer look at Grand Theft Auto 6. The special, Grand Theft Auto, GTA 6: An Extended Look, will premiere on Netflix on Thursday, 27 August at 3:00 pm ET (US time), before arriving on YouTube and other platforms six hours later.
The release comes as interest in GTA 6 rises again, partly due to several reported gameplay leaks. While the leaked clips have offered glimpses of Rockstar's open-world project, the official extended look will provide a clearer idea of the characters, gameplay and world.
GTA 6 Extended Look: India release time
Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look will be available on Netflix in India at 12:30 am IST on Friday, 28 August.
For those who want to watch it on YouTube, it will be 6:30 am on 28 August in India. Netflix subscribers will have the first official look much earlier. The Netflix release is the best one for fans in India who would want to watch the footage as soon as Rockstar releases it.
What could Rockstar show?
The extended presentation is likely to provide much more footage than the short clips in recent leaks. IGN has hinted that fans may see more of the protagonists, Jason and Lucia, and of the world they will visit. Rockstar has already released a ton of official screenshots and posted cover art. But the company has not yet revealed its eagerly awaited third trailer.
This extended look could be more important than another short trailer. A longer gameplay preview would allow Rockstar to show gameplay rather than just cinematic sequences.
GTA 6 leaks continue to spread
The official debut also comes at a new round of alleged GTA 6 gameplay leaks. Several new clips of Jason have emerged online, including one of him in a nightclub, riding a bike on a beach and walking through a fictional video game store.
At the time of its report, there were 13 leaked clips. All content has not been independently verified, but Take-Two Interactive has stated in legal filings that the content is ‘stolen’ and ‘leaked’ gameplay.
Rockstar and Take-Two are working through legal channels to remove the leaked material. Given the scale of the leaks, the official reveal offers Rockstar a chance to redirect the conversation back to what it wants fans to see.
GTA 6 release date
The game will be released on 19 November for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The extended look is a week ahead of the release, which means it might be Rockstar's biggest marketing moment yet for GTA 6.
