Netflix premiere inLoading countdown…Updates automatically in this browser
Rockstar's showcase announcement does not give a runtime or promise gameplay. Those details remain unknown until the presentation starts.
Exact times by region
All times are for Thursday, August 27, 2026, unless marked otherwise.
- Netflix premiere: 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. UK / 9 p.m. Central Europe / 4 a.m. Aug 28 Japan.
- Free YouTube and gtavi site release: 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT / 2 a.m. Aug 28 UK / 3 a.m. Aug 28 Central Europe / 10 a.m. Aug 28 Japan.
The boxes above convert both releases to the time zone on this device. If you want to watch free, use the Rockstar YouTube button when the second countdown time arrives.
What to expect — and what not to assume
- Runtime: unknown. Ignore screenshots or listings that claim an exact length without a live Netflix or Rockstar page.
- Gameplay: likely to be the main reason for an “Extended Look,” but the announcement does not use the word gameplay.
- Trailer 3: this is not titled Trailer 3. Rockstar may or may not use that label later.
- Music and locations: newly identified music and named places will be added to the GTA 6 music page and map after the presentation.
- Release date: the event does not change the current November 19, 2026 console date. The release tracker remains the place for that status.
What to do on the day
- Netflix: use the first button shortly before the local Netflix time shown above.
- Free stream: use the YouTube button at the second local time.
- Avoiding spoilers: mute GTA VI terms for the six-hour Netflix window; clips will circulate before the free upload.
- After the show: this URL will switch from a countdown to a concise scene-by-scene index with direct links to songs, locations, mechanics and characters.
No calendar button, newsletter pitch or reminder flow is needed: this page gives the two times and the two places to watch.
