Grand Theft Auto 6's extended trailer became Netflix's top English film in 87 of 93 tracked countries, drawing 31.1 million viewers within days of its September 1 release.

Rockstar Games released the 27‑minute showcase on Netflix and later on YouTube, where it accumulated more than 17 million views. The presentation followed two shorter trailers and marked the first extensive look at the game since 2013.

The trailer indicated that the playable map will be roughly three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2, encompassing urban areas, beaches, rural regions, and a Florida‑inspired wilderness. Visual details include clothing that moves naturally, individual hair strands, visible sweat, and dynamic reflections. Environmental destruction was shown when characters broke through a wall, causing debris and dust to react to the impact. Players can switch between protagonists during gameplay, with scripted sequences sometimes limiting control to a single character, and the story appears to allow development of a romantic relationship between the two main characters.

Rockstar has not provided details about the online component of GTA 6. The game is scheduled for release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, while a PC version has not been announced.

The trailer offers the most comprehensive preview of the upcoming title to date, but the status of its online mode remains undisclosed.
