Take-Two Interactive chief executive Strauss Zelnick has described Netflix’s forthcoming extended preview of Grand Theft Auto 6 as a “must-see” event, comparing it to a major television broadcast. The event matters because it is expected to offer the first substantial look at the game’s gameplay, after previous promotional material focused largely on cinematic trailers.

The preview is scheduled for 27 August, roughly 20 days after the article’s publication, ahead of GTA 6’s planned 19 November release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. It will be exclusive to Netflix for around six hours before appearing on other platforms, including Rockstar’s YouTube channel; Zelnick highlighted Netflix’s worldwide audience of 325 million subscribers while declining to explain the partnership in detail.
