Quick answer

GTA VI: An Extended Look is now available. The 26:48 presentation uses in-game PS5 footage and shows missions, combat, character switching, activities, and the new wanted system.

Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look is now available on Netflix, YouTube, and the official GTA VI site. The finished presentation runs 26 minutes and 48 seconds. Rockstar says it was captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5.

This is the first long official look at GTA 6 in motion. It is still an edited presentation, not an uncut mission demo, but it answers far more practical questions than either numbered trailer did.

What the Extended Look shows

The video opens with a deal going wrong and quickly moves into a playable firefight. Jason uses cover, pushes through rooms, and gets a cinematic slow-motion finish. The sequence is edited, but the HUD, aiming, movement, and mission flow are visible long enough to establish that this is gameplay rather than a story-only trailer.

The strongest new detail is how Jason and Lucia operate as an active pair. In one getaway Lucia drives while Jason returns fire. In another sequence the presentation switches from Lucia parachuting to Jason while a conversation continues. Rockstar also shows jobs that appear to favor one protagonist and scenes where both work together.

The montage includes a wide range of optional activities and travel:

  • basketball and working out
  • fishing and scuba diving
  • jet skis and kayaking
  • dirt bikes and street racing
  • base jumping and parachuting
  • clubs, dancing, and nightlife

These are direct observations from the footage. The video does not explain progression, rewards, or how early each activity becomes available.

Combat and robberies look more deliberate

The footage shows movement through cover, close-range fights, shooting from a moving vehicle, and a slow-motion kill camera. It also shows Jason and Lucia using masks during robberies and changing how they leave a scene.

That fits the deeper police system Rockstar North described during press previews. Crimes can be reported by witnesses or alarms, and police can use details such as clothing, vehicles, appearance, and whether the protagonists were seen together. Our GTA 6 wanted system guide separates what appears on screen from what Rockstar explained to preview outlets.

Is this GTA 6 Trailer 3?

No, not by Rockstar’s title. The official name remains Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look. Rockstar’s media library now lists it beside Trailer 1 and Trailer 2 as a separate video.

Fans can reasonably treat it as the third major GTA 6 video, but that is different from claiming Rockstar announced a numbered Trailer 3. Our Trailer 3 tracker keeps that naming question separate.

Is it a full gameplay walkthrough?

It is a gameplay reveal, but not a continuous walkthrough. The 26:48 program is a montage of missions, free-roam moments, activities, combat, driving, and character scenes. It contains visible gameplay systems and HUD elements, yet Rockstar still chooses every cut and does not play one mission from start to finish.

That distinction matters for questions such as handling, mission failure, difficulty, and frame pacing. The presentation gives us real evidence about the game’s systems. It is not a substitute for an uncut hands-on capture.

What the PS5 label proves

Rockstar says the footage was captured on PlayStation 5. It does not identify the exact console model on the video page, and it does not publish a frame rate or graphics-mode list.

The safe conclusion is strong but narrow: the visual material comes from a PS5 version of GTA 6. It does not prove base PS5, PS5 Pro, 30 FPS, or 60 FPS. Our console performance tracker remains unchanged on that point.

What Rockstar did not reveal

The presentation does not provide:

  • a GTA Online reveal
  • a PC release date
  • console resolution or frame-rate modes
  • a complete weapon inventory explanation
  • a full map measurement
  • an uncut mission from setup to escape

Those gaps are worth keeping visible. A long reveal can confirm a great deal without settling every rumor around the game.

FAQ

Where can I watch GTA 6: An Extended Look?

Use Rockstar’s official page, Netflix, or the official YouTube upload.

How long is the GTA 6 Extended Look?

Rockstar lists a runtime of 26 minutes and 48 seconds.

Is all of it gameplay?

Rockstar describes it as captured entirely from in-game footage. The presentation mixes visible gameplay, mission scenes, and cinematic camera work inside an edited montage.

Was it captured on PS5 Pro?

Rockstar’s page says PlayStation 5 without naming a model. Do not treat PS5 Pro or base PS5 as confirmed from that wording alone.

No. The presentation focuses on the story game and does not reveal a new GTA Online mode.

The event is over, but this page remains the live recap. We will update it only when Rockstar adds a new first-party detail or when a clearly sourced preview resolves one of the remaining questions.
