In a first-of-its-kind partnership with Netflix, Rockstar Games announced today that Netflix subscribers will have the opportunity to watch an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI on Thursday, Aug. 27 at 3 p.m. ET.
The new iteration in the blockbuster series comes 13 years following the debut of GTAV, the same year that Netflix was beginning its push into original programming. This collaboration represents the next generation of storytelling and content on Netflix.
“Grand Theft Auto reveals have become cultural moments in their own right. The anticipation and fandom around Grand Theft Auto VI is unprecedented, and we’re honored that Rockstar Games has partnered with us to debut the next part of the Grand Theft Auto story with Netflix members first,” says Brandon Riegg, VP of Nonfiction Series. “It’s a reflection of what we hope Netflix is becoming: a place where the most ambitious storytelling, from any medium, can find the biggest possible audience.”
Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look showcases one of the most anticipated releases in history, offering Netflix subscribers a chance to see more about the game that will define the next era of entertainment.
Here’s the game’s description, in case you’ve missed it.
Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida – forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.
Grand Theft Auto VI is set to arrive for PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S, November 19, so you still have plenty of time to replay some of the classic GTA games.
Tune into Netflix on Aug. 27 at 3 p.m. ET to watch the extended first look yourself.
