GTA 6 Extended Look: Watch the Full 26-Minute Video
Rockstar released the 26-minute GTA 6 Extended Look on August 27, 2026. Find the official video and learn what it proves about missions.

Direct answer
Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look is available now. Rockstar released the full video on August 27, 2026 on its official GTA VI site and YouTube channel after an earlier Netflix premiere. The YouTube version runs 26 minutes 48 seconds, and Rockstar describes it as footage captured entirely in-game on PlayStation 5.
Use the video as first-party evidence for what Rockstar visibly demonstrates. Do not treat every edited scene as a named mission or infer objectives, rewards or mission order that Rockstar does not state.

Where to watch GTA 6 Extended Look
- Official GTA VI page: Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look
- Official YouTube upload: Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look
- Netflix release: netflix.com/GTAVI
The GTA VI page and YouTube upload are the most direct free routes. Use the official upload rather than reposts so the runtime, description and publisher can be checked.
What Rockstar officially confirms
Rockstar’s own page confirms three important facts about the presentation:
- It was published on August 27, 2026.
- The presentation is captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5.
- GTA VI is still listed for November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The official GTA VI site also describes the story premise: Jason and Lucia are pulled into a criminal conspiracy across Leonida after an easy score goes wrong. That premise is useful context for robbery and escape scenes, but it still does not provide canonical mission titles.
What changed for mission research
The release changes this page from an event schedule into a first-party video record. It gives the reported missions index a newer official source to compare against earlier trailers and development reports. A scene can now be labeled shown in official in-game footage when the video supports that narrow claim.
It still does not justify calling a scene a confirmed mission unless Rockstar names it or the retail game exposes a reproducible mission entry. In particular, the presentation does not by itself publish:
- a complete mission count or chapter list;
- canonical mission names and objective order;
- heist setup, approach and finale IDs;
- mission rewards or 100% completion requirements.
This distinction matters because a marketing presentation can combine gameplay, cinematic framing and scenes from different points in the story.
How to verify a claim from the video
- Link to the official video and record the timestamp.
- Describe only what is visible or explicitly stated.
- Check whether Rockstar uses a formal mission, character or location name.
- Separate the visible scene from interpretations in media or community catalogs.
- Promote a claim to a confirmed mission only when a Rockstar source or the retail game identifies it as one.
For leak-only material or anonymous labels, use the mission leak verification guide instead of attributing the claim to Extended Look.
What remains unknown
Rockstar has not published a complete mission roster, chapter order, objective database or 100% checklist alongside Extended Look. PC timing is also absent from the current official GTA VI platform list. Those gaps should remain explicit until Rockstar or the retail game supplies the missing information.

Does Extended Look confirm a full mission list?
No. It is official in-game footage, not a published mission database. A visible scene confirms only what can be directly observed or stated.
