Rockstar has scheduled the next major Grand Theft Auto VI reveal for August 27. The official site calls it Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look and lists a 3 p.m. ET premiere on Netflix, with a later release on Rockstar’s own channels. Rockstar’s announcement gives GTA 6 fans a date to circle, even though it does not describe the video as a full gameplay trailer.
The game is still set for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. That leaves less than three months between this preview and launch, which makes the new video more useful than another vague update about development.
When and where to watch the GTA 6 Extended Look
The first scheduled showing is Thursday, August 27, at 3 p.m. ET on Netflix. That is 2 p.m. CT and 12 p.m. PT for viewers in the United States. Rockstar’s official game page includes a Netflix reminder link, so viewers who want the earliest showing should use the service’s listing before the event starts. The official GTA VI site does not list a runtime yet.
Rockstar’s Newswire announcement also schedules the video for the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the GTA VI website at 9 p.m. ET on August 27. That later release gives viewers a free option after the Netflix window, so a subscription is not the only way to see the preview.Rockstar’s Newswire page
What Rockstar has — and has not — called it
The name matters. Rockstar calls the video an “Extended Look,” not Trailer 3 or a confirmed gameplay showcase. The studio has not said how long it will run, which missions it will show, or whether it will focus on raw gameplay, story scenes, or a mix of both. Calling it a gameplay trailer before Rockstar explains the format would add a detail the announcement does not support.
