Rockstar Confirms GTA 6 Extended Look Coming During Gamescom Week!

It has been weeks, no, months… either way, too long, since we got official Rockstar news for GTA 6! Players started to get annoyed and bored with it, with hype clearly lowering due to the lack of information beyond the same old leaks over and over again. But finally, after months of silence, Rockstar Games has shared an official update on GTA 6.

They published a video on their YouTube channel to announce that “Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look” will premiere on August 27, and that means that we are getting our first official look at the game since they announced pre-orders being live.

The announcement from today is really just a short teaser posted on Rockstar’s official YouTube channel, with new promotional artwork and confirming when you can expect the presentation. So not much for now, but it is something at least. And you can mark August 27 as a date where you will have to keep an eye out!

Netflix Premiere

So there is one unusual thing in this announcement. According to the official post, Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look will premiere on Netflix first, on Thursday, August 27, at 3 p.m. ET. And only after that will the presentation then become available later the same day on the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the website at 9 p.m. ET.

To recap and make sure you get the times right:

• Netflix first on Thursday, August 27, at 3 p.m. ET/ 21:00 CEST
• YouTube later on Thursday, August 27, at 9 p.m. ET/ Friday, August 28, at 03:00 CEST

Basically, if you have a Netflix subscription, you get an early preview of GTA 6. But if you do not, the extended look will go live for free on YouTube around 6 hours later. Sadly for some time zones, this also means waiting until the middle of the night to watch the trailer on YouTube.

What Could the Extended Look Include?

Rockstar has not shared what the presentation will feature exactly, but you can probably expect a first look at the gameplay, different features, how both characters play, etc. Everything you wanted to see but did not yet!

The timing is also very interesting, since this presentation is scheduled during Gamescom week. Rockstar has not announced any Gamescom plans, so there is currently no confirmation that the game will appear during the event. However, with the Extended Look arriving during it, it is not impossible that we get trailer 3 during the Opening Night Live of Gamescom, and then the extended look a few days after!

Of course, this is just speculation, so do not expect anything other than this Extended look for now!
