Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look

Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look is an official presentation for Grand Theft Auto VI. It premiered on Netflix on August 27, 2026 at 3 p.m. ET, and became freely available through Rockstar Games' official YouTube channel and the GTA VI website at 9 p.m. ET the same day.⁵¹²

The presentation is now available to Netflix subscribers. It uses footage captured entirely in-game on PS5, giving a longer look at Leonida than the first two trailers.⁴

Release schedule and where to watch

Netflix hosted the first showing. Rockstar released the presentation free on its official YouTube channel and GTA VI website six hours later.⁵²

Runtime and footage

• The presentation runs for 26 minutes 48 seconds (26:48).⁸
• All footage was captured in-game on PlayStation 5.⁴
• The official title is Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look.

What the presentation shows

The presentation follows four main sequences. Jason and Lucia collect drugs for Boobie Ike before a police task force raids the building; visit Brian Heder and Lori, where Brian arranges work and later warns Jason with a story about a childhood friend; meet Raul Bautista and escape a police pursuit; and take a security assignment to protect Andrés de León, ending in an attack on Megamundo's new headquarters.⁵

Across those sequences, the footage moves between conversations, driving, gunfights, a police chase and moments where control passes between Jason and Lucia. It also shows quieter stops around Leonida, including their home, shops, nightlife and the airport.⁵

A pickup for Boobie becomes a raid

The opening follows Jason and Lucia into an apartment building to collect drugs for Boobie Ike. They ask their way past people in the corridors until they reach Raymond. The collection is already in trouble: Raymond’s partner is missing, and a phone call warns that a police task force is coming. The warning turns the conversation into an immediate escape problem. Armed officers enter, Jason takes up a gun and a bag, and the pair have to fight their way out of the building.⁵

The sequence moves from conversation to third-person shooting in the same cramped rooms and corridors. Doorways and furniture become cover, while Lucia remains part of the encounter. Their departure in a red car brings the danger out onto the street. It is a sustained example of a small job becoming a much larger problem, with the buildup and escape both shown.⁵

Home, errands and Brian’s warning

The next stretch slows down at Jason and Lucia’s home, then follows a drive through daytime traffic. The car’s roof folds away, and later cuts show the pair masked and armed during a robbery near an armored truck. The edit places the robbery alongside the pair’s errands and social plans.⁵

Jason and Lucia meet Brian and Lori for drinks and sit together at an outdoor table. Brian arranges a job that needs only one of them. Lucia leaves to take it, while Brian walks out with Jason and tells him about a childhood friend who stayed on a carousel after it began spinning dangerously fast. Brian jumped off; his friend stayed and was killed. His warning to Jason is to recognize when to get out. The scene gives Brian a role beyond supplying jobs: he is an older criminal telling Jason that survival may depend on leaving the life behind. The presentation then returns to robberies and driving, connecting the domestic scenes to the risks paying for that life.⁵

Raul’s test and the police pursuit

Raul’s introduction turns into a hurried getaway. Jason and Lucia have little time to prepare before they must help him escape. Jason shoots from the car as police vehicles close in. An overturned police van blocks part of the street, while wanted stars and a search area on the minimap track the pursuit.⁵

Lucia challenges the lack of warning; Raul treats adapting to trouble as part of being a professional. Surviving the escape becomes their test, after which he tells them to keep their phones on. The scene explains both the attraction and the danger of working with him: he offers a possible way into a crew while expecting them to handle a crisis he has already created.⁵

Activities between jobs

Around the activity montage, the footage shows an airboat moving through wetlands, a diver exploring a wreck, basketball, weight training, jet skiing and kayaking. Racing includes circuit and dirt-bike examples with position and lap displays; a shooting course has a timer and targets-remaining counter. These displays explain what the activity involves more clearly than a passing scenic shot. Later, Lucia is shown in freefall and under a parachute above the city.⁵

Shops, beach loungers, nightlife and conversations between the leads fill out the time between criminal jobs. For closer visual inspection, the separate screenshot gallery linked under Viewing options follows their order in the presentation.⁵

Security work for Andrés and the Megamundo attack

At the airport, Valentina briefs Jason and Lucia on protecting Andrés de León while keeping him on schedule and managing his ego. They meet him and travel to the party marking Megamundo’s new American headquarters. Their job includes keeping Andrés on schedule: Andrés wants to stay upstairs with his acquaintances while the event’s organizers need him downstairs.⁵

Jason accompanies him to the conference-room floor, while Lucia is introduced to other security staff. An armed attack interrupts the celebration. Jason receives a warning from Lucia, takes cover and fights through offices and corridors; attackers also arrive through an elevator. The extended sequence lets viewers follow how a glamorous corporate event becomes a close-quarters gunfight, with the leads separated inside the same building.⁵

Background

The Extended Look follows the first Grand Theft Auto VI trailer and second Grand Theft Auto VI trailer. Unlike those releases, it premiered on Netflix before reaching Rockstar's own channels.

Rockstar proposed the Netflix premiere, rather than responding to an approach from the streamer. The aim was to reach people beyond the usual Grand Theft Auto audience.⁷
