An Extended Look: first long gameplay video premieres on Netflix
OfficialRockstar showed Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay at length for the first time on August 27 in a video called An Extended Look. It premiered on Netflix and reached YouTube and the official site six hours later.
Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look premiered on Netflix on August 27 at 3 p.m. ET and was published on the Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the official site at 9 p.m. ET the same day. Rockstar says the video, which runs for about 26 minutes, was captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5.
The video covers open-world activities, combat, story missions, vehicles and characters. GameSpot's summary highlights switching between Jason and Lucia in the middle of a mission, a wanted level that goes up to six stars, a Criminal Profile system that keeps track of the player's behaviour over time, and a fitness system. From the interviews published around the video, GameSpot also reports an estimate of about 80 hours for the main story and narrative side content, and that the single-player game launches without microtransactions.
It remains the most complete official look at how the game plays, and the best starting point for anyone who has not followed the previews. It can still be watched on the official site.
