GTA 6 Trailers: Every Trailer Breakdown and What Each Confirmed

GTA 6 Trailers Quick Facts

An Extended Look: the New GTA 6 Video

On August 6, 2026, Rockstar Games and Netflix jointly announced a new official GTA 6 video titled "Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look", in what Netflix describes as a first-of-its-kind partnership.

Here is how to watch the GTA 6 Extended Look:

The Netflix premiere runs six hours ahead of the free release, and it is subscriber-only: Netflix's own pitch is that its members see it "six hours before anyone else". If you don't have Netflix, you lose nothing but those six hours. The video then launches free for everyone on Rockstar's official YouTube channel and the official GTA VI site at 9 p.m. ET that evening.

Rockstar and Netflix have not said how long the video runs, and neither has said anything about what it actually shows. Once it airs, we'll add a full breakdown right here.

Trailer 2: the biggest video launch of all time

Rockstar released GTA 6 Trailer 2 on May 6, 2025, with all footage captured on PlayStation 5. At 2 minutes 47 seconds, it is the longer of the two trailers, and it digs deeper into Jason and Lucia's relationship while showing much more of the state of Leonida. For every region and location Rockstar has officially named, see our GTA 6 map guide.

The numbers were enormous. Rockstar says Trailer 2 pulled in more than 475 million views across all platforms in its first 24 hours, which the studio called "the biggest video launch of all time." That beat the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer's 365 million and the Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer's 200 million.

One important scope note: that 475 million is an all-platforms figure, not a YouTube figure. On YouTube itself, Trailer 2 did about 83.6 million views in 24 hours, with roughly 106 million more on Twitter/X and the rest spread across other social platforms. Keep that in mind before comparing it directly against Trailer 1's YouTube-only record below.

Trailer 1: the first look at Vice City

GTA 6 Trailer 1 arrived on December 4, 2023 as a YouTube exclusive. Running 1 minute 31 seconds, it gave the world its first look at the game: modern-day Vice City, the wider state of Leonida, and the two protagonists we now know as Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.

It broke records immediately. Trailer 1 racked up more than 93 million views on YouTube in its first 24 hours, a YouTube record for a non-music-video debut and a Guinness World Record for the most-viewed videogame trailer in 24 hours. The previous benchmark it beat belonged to MrBeast, at 59.4 million.

Note the scope here too: 93 million is a YouTube-only figure, because the trailer only existed on YouTube. Trailer 2's 475 million counts every platform, so the two numbers measure different things. On YouTube alone, Trailer 1's 24-hour debut actually remains ahead of Trailer 2's roughly 83.6 million.

Is An Extended Look GTA 6 Trailer 3?

Officially, no. Rockstar has never used the name "Trailer 3" for a GTA 6 video, and its only name for the August 27 video is "An Extended Look". Headlines calling it Trailer 3 are press and fan labeling, not Rockstar's. As of today there are still only two numbered trailers, and Rockstar's own site still lists Trailer 2 as its latest video.

In practice, this is the video the community has spent months calling Trailer 3, so if that is what you searched for, An Extended Look on August 27 is the answer. What it will actually contain, Rockstar has not said; the guessing lives in the speculation section below.

The hype is measurable in another way too: at Take-Two's earnings call on August 7, 2026, the company reaffirmed the November 19, 2026 release date and CEO Strauss Zelnick called GTA 6 preorders "unprecedented". If the first two trailers already sold you, see our GTA 6 preorder guide for every edition and price.

Community speculation (unconfirmed)

Nothing in this section is confirmed by Rockstar or Netflix; treat it all as informed guessing. The community widely expects An Extended Look to include story and gameplay footage, showing more of Jason and Lucia, but Rockstar has said nothing about its content, structure, or length. Until August 27, nobody outside Rockstar and Netflix knows what is in it.
