Do You Need Netflix to Watch GTA 6: An Extended Look? YouTube Release Date and Time

With the latest wave of Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks shedding light on its gameplay mechanics, map, storyline, and more, the hype surrounding the upcoming Rockstar Games title has reached an all-time high.

As a result, a number of people have started actively searching the internet and asking whether a Netflix subscription is required to watch the new GTA 6 “An Extended Look” series to get a sneak peek at the game ahead of its official launch.

If you’re here to know more about whether you can watch the GTA 6: An Extended Look premiere for free without paying for a Netflix subscription, we’ve got you covered.

Do You Need Netflix to Watch GTA 6: An Extended Look?

No, you don’t need Netflix to watch GTA 6: An Extended Look. However, a Netflix sub will enable you to catch the premiere ahead of everyone else.

If you want to see GTA 6: An Extended Look the moment it drops on Thursday, August 27 at 3 pm ET, you will need a Netflix subscription. Rockstar has confirmed that the presentation premieres on Netflix, and it will only be available there for a limited window before going anywhere else.

Don’t have an active Netflix subscription? No worries. Every piece of official GTA 6 marketing to date, including the debut trailer and the second trailer, has premiered for free on Rockstar Games’ own YouTube channel, and GTA 6: An Extended Look won’t be an exception to this either.

GTA 6: An Extended Look YouTube Release Date and Time

You don’t have to pay for Netflix to eventually see GTA 6: An Extended Look. Rockstar has confirmed the same presentation will also launch on the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the GTA VI website at 9 pm ET on August 27, six hours after the aforementioned  Netflix debut.

Once it lands on YouTube, it’s free for everyone to watch anytime, and reportedly in 4K, which is a step up from what subscribers on Netflix’s cheaper ad-supported and standard tiers get.
