GTA 6’s Netflix Special Is 26 Minutes Long
Rockstar’s 26-minute GTA 6 showcase on Netflix is longer than many movies and arrives today.
The update
Rockstar Games will lift the veil on Grand Theft Auto 6 today, August 27, with an “Extended Look” on Netflix. The event will run for 26 minutes, according to updated listings on the Netflix app. The broadcast is described as a deep dive into the game’s world, rather than a standard trailer.
Why it matters
This extended runtime signals a shift in how major game launches are marketed. A 26-minute presentation is longer than many theatrical movie trailers and suggests Rockstar intends to provide a substantial amount of gameplay footage. The showcase is expected to premiere on Netflix at 3 p.m. EST and will be available globally.
What to watch
Readers should watch for the specific details revealed during the broadcast, including confirmed gameplay mechanics and visual fidelity. The footage is confirmed to be captured on a PlayStation 5, though the specific console model (base PS5 or PS5 Pro) has not been confirmed.
