In an unprecedented move for the studio, an extended preview of GTA 6 will first be released on Netflix, followed by Rockstar’s official platforms a few hours later.

When can you watch the GTA 6 preview?

If you are in the UAE, the release schedule is as follows:

- Netflix: Friday, August 28 at 12:30 AM UAE time
- Rockstar Games YouTube channel and official website: Friday, August 28 at 6:30 AM UAE time

Netflix subscribers will have access to the video six hours early, after which the preview will be released to the public through Rockstar’s official channels.

An unprecedented move for Rockstar

Rockstar has previously released trailers and gameplay videos of its games through its official platforms, but this is the first time the company has chosen a streaming service for an exclusive early screening.

This decision allows Netflix subscribers to see the preview shortly before others, before the video is released publicly worldwide.

What will the extended GTA 6 preview show?

Details remain confidential.

Rockstar has not yet announced exactly what this presentation will include, leading fans to speculate whether they will finally get a deeper look at gameplay, see more of Vice City, or if new details about the characters and story will be released.

As expected, this news has already sparked significant online discussion, with fans analyzing every sign and detail ahead of the release.

GTA 6 Release Date

This preview will be released just a few months before the game’s official launch.

Grand Theft Auto VI is currently scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and this preview is considered the most significant official update on the game since Rockstar confirmed the release date.
