GTA 6: Gameplay preview is becoming a Netflix event

A preview of 'GTA 6' will be released as a special event on Netflix on August 27, according to the streaming service's description. The video, titled 'Grand Theft Auto VI: Ein ausführlicher Blick,' will premiere at 9 PM German time and later appear on YouTube six hours later. This marks a departure from typical practice, where game trailers are usually posted directly on platforms like YouTube. The decision to partner with Netflix highlights the blockbuster status of 'GTA 6.' The first trailer, released in December 2023, was viewed over 90 million times in 24 hours, setting a record for the most-watched video game reveal. The second trailer has been viewed over 170 million times on Rockstar's channel alone. The Netflix premiere coincides with the first day of the Gamescom trade show in Cologne, which runs through August 30. Meanwhile, competitors like Microsoft have delayed their major releases to avoid direct competition with 'GTA 6.' The game is scheduled for release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with pre-orders available since June 25.
