The GTA VI Extended Look — which the community calls Trailer 3 — premieres on 27 August 2026, first on Netflix and six hours later on YouTube.
The table above already converts the official time into each city’s zone. If yours is not listed, the reference is 3pm Eastern for Netflix and 9pm Eastern for YouTube.
How to watch it free
Netflix exclusivity lasts six hours. After that the video is available on the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel and on the company’s website, at no cost and with no sign-up.
If you do not subscribe to Netflix, you do not need to. Subscribers simply get it early.
Why premiere on Netflix
This is the first time Rockstar has used a streaming platform as the premiere window for a trailer. The straightforward reading is reach: putting the video in front of an audience that does not follow gaming channels, under three months out from launch.
Worth noting what this is not. There is no indication of a GTA VI series, film or any audiovisual production on Netflix — the platform is being used as a premiere showcase, not as a content partner.
What to expect
Rockstar has not detailed the contents. What can be said honestly:
- The official name is Extended Look, which points to a longer runtime than the previous trailers
- Both previous trailers ran roughly a minute and a half
- The game launches on 19 November, so this is late-campaign material
Any “what will be in Trailer 3” list circulating today is speculation. We do not publish speculation as fact — once the video airs, this page is updated with what actually appeared.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Netflix subscription?
For the premiere, yes. Six hours later the video goes live on Rockstar's official YouTube channel, free and open to everyone.
Are Trailer 3 and Extended Look the same thing?
Yes. Extended Look is Rockstar's official name. Trailer 3 is what the community calls it, since it is the third video released.
Will there be gameplay?
Rockstar has not detailed the contents. The name points to something longer than the previous trailers, but nothing about gameplay has been confirmed.
Where do I read the breakdown afterwards?
This same page is updated with the breakdown as soon as the video airs. The URL does not change.
