If you have seen Grand Theft Auto VI everywhere today and wondered if GTA 6 is actually coming out tonight, no.
What Rockstar is releasing is Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, with the first showing landing early Friday morning in Australia.
The presentation premieres on Netflix at 5:00am AEST on Friday, August 28 for Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. It then arrives free on the Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the GTA 6 website at 11:00am AEST.
Rockstar confirmed the staggered release in its announcement, with Netflix getting the first window before the wider YouTube and Rockstar release six hours later.

Where can you watch GTA 6: An Extended Look?
Netflix gets it first. On the east coast, the premiere starts at 5:00am AEST.
If 5:00am is not happening, the easier option is to wait for Rockstar’s YouTube release at 11:00am AEST. The same presentation will also be available through the GTA 6 website.
Is GTA 6 coming out tonight?
No. This is a new look at GTA 6, not the game launch.
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Nothing about the Extended Look changes that release date.
Is this GTA 6 Trailer 3?
Rockstar is not calling it Trailer 3. The title is Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look.
That could mean something more substantial than a normal trailer, but Rockstar has not said exactly what will be shown. Until it airs, claims about gameplay, missions or new mechanics are speculation.
When does GTA 6 actually come out?
GTA 6 is due on Thursday, November 19, 2026. Rockstar currently lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as the launch platforms.
How long is the GTA 6 Extended Look?
Rockstar has not announced a runtime. The announcement gives the premiere times and platforms, but not the length of the presentation.
Do you need Netflix to watch it?
Only for the first showing. If you do not have Netflix, the presentation will be available free on YouTube and Rockstar’s website six hours later.
BLUNT previously covered the second GTA 6 trailer and Rockstar’s later November 2026 release date.
