GTA 6 Extended Look Tops Netflix With 31.1 Million Views

The 27-minute "Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look" showcase became Netflix's most-watched title of the week, drawing 31.1 million views in just four days after its debut on the streaming platform. The special, which premiered on August 27, 2026, topped Netflix's global English-language film chart and claimed the number one spot in 87 of the 93 countries the service tracks. The viewership figure, reported by Netflix for the tracking week of August 24 to August 30, was calculated using the platform's methodology, which divides total hours viewed by the title's runtime. This means a single household watching the video twice would count as one view. The achievement is notable given that Netflix held an exclusive window of only six hours before Rockstar Games uploaded the same footage to its official YouTube channel at 9 p.m. ET on the same day. On YouTube, the video has since surpassed 17 million views, though the platforms measure viewership differently, with YouTube counting each play as a view. The extended look provided the most detailed preview yet of the upcoming game, featuring in-engine footage captured on PlayStation 5.
