FAQ
GTA 6 questions
Where can I watch the GTA 6 Extended Look?
Free on the Rockstar Games YouTube channel and on rockstargames.com, and on Netflix if you subscribe. It came out on August 27, 2026 — Netflix first at 3 p.m. ET, then YouTube at 9 p.m. ET. YouTube age-restricts it, so it plays on YouTube itself rather than inside other sites; the link is at the top of this page.
How long is the Extended Look, and is it a trailer?
It runs 26 minutes 48 seconds. Rockstar describes it as captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5. Rockstar has never called it Trailer 3; its name is Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look.
When does GTA 6 come out?
November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar has not announced a release time, so any countdown showing hours and minutes to launch is guessing.
Is GTA 6 coming to PC?
No PC version has been announced. Rockstar has confirmed PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Any specific PC date currently circulating is speculation.
When can I pre-load GTA 6?
Pre-loading opens on November 12, 2026 at midnight local time, one week before launch. This matters even if you buy a physical copy, because the box contains a download code rather than a playable disc.
How do I get the Vintage Vice City Pack?
It comes with any pre-order, and with any purchase made before November 20, 2026. It applies to both the standard and Ultimate editions, digital or physical.
Is this an official Rockstar site?
No. This is an unofficial fan-made countdown with no affiliation to Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive or Netflix. Every date on it is sourced from those companies’ own announcements, which are linked in the footer.
