Grand Theft Auto 6 just got its biggest official reveal yet. Rockstar's Extended Look dropped today, August 27, running just under 26 minutes of PS5 gameplay footage centered on Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos as they navigate Vice City together. The footage aired on Netflix first, and the platform promptly crashed under the weight of demand.

What nearly 26 minutes actually shows
The footage isn't a highlight reel. It moves through different stages of Jason and Lucia's story, mixing narrative beats with extended stretches of open-world activity. Driving sequences make up a significant chunk of the runtime, and there's no shortage of gunfights against both cops and rival criminals. Rockstar closed the footage with a reminder that everything shown was captured directly on PlayStation 5.
The smaller moments land just as hard as the action. Quick cuts show Jason eating snacks, Lucia sparring, and what looks unmistakably like a backyard wrestling scene. These aren't just filler. They suggest Rockstar is building two characters with actual daily rhythms, not just cutscene personalities.
The footage ends at a Mega Mundo opening event, where Jason and Lucia are on security detail. Rivals show up, chaos breaks out, and right before the final shot, Lucia appears to be in genuine danger. It's a deliberate cliffhanger, and it works.
The soundtrack is doing real work
Rockstar's radio curation has always been part of the identity of this series, and the Extended Look gives a strong early signal. Sexyy Red, Depeche Mode, and Phil Collins all appear at different points in the footage. That's a range that spans decades and genres, which fits Vice City's Florida setting and the game's apparent tonal flexibility between gritty crime drama and sun-soaked absurdity.
Netflix crashed, which tells you everything
The Extended Look went live at 3:00 p.m. ET on Netflix as part of an unprecedented partnership between Rockstar and the streaming platform. Netflix went down almost immediately. For context, this happened despite weeks of leaks from the so-called CYBERLEEK situation that had already put significant GTA 6 content into the wild. The leaks clearly did nothing to dampen interest. If anything, the official footage arriving after all that noise only amplified the moment.
For anyone without Netflix, the footage becomes available on YouTube at 9:00 p.m. ET.
Here's the thing: 26 minutes is a long time for a pre-release look at any game. Most publishers offer two to four minutes and call it a trailer. Rockstar essentially ran a short film, and the crowd showed up hard enough to take down a major streaming service. That's the kind of anticipation that doesn't need much commentary.
For everything else Rockstar has confirmed about the two leads, the GTA 6 confirmed hairstyles guide for Jason and Lucia covers character customization details already locked in ahead of launch.
