GTA 6 extended look hits Netflix August 27, new art shows Jason in a Leonida shirt

Rockstar just announced the next GTA 6 trailer, and it's premiering on Netflix first. August 27 at 3 PM ET, then it goes up on YouTube at 9 PM ET the same day. So if you're not a Netflix subscriber, you'll have to dodge spoilers for a few hours.

Netflix's VP Brandon Riegg said they're honored Rockstar chose them to debut the next part of the GTA story, calling it a sign that Netflix is becoming a home for ambitious storytelling from any medium. A little corporate, but I get the excitement.

Along with the announcement, we got a new piece of art. It shows Lucia and Jason, and Jason's rocking a "Leonida" shirt with a manatee on a surfboard. The manatee is peak Florida, but the surfboard has people speculating about surfing as a new mechanic. We've never had surfing in a GTA game, and Vice City's beaches would be perfect for it. Could be a fun side activity.

The last trailer was way back in May 2025, so this extended look is long overdue. Pre-orders have been live since June, $80 for the standard edition and $100 for the Ultimate Edition. The game's still locked in for November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, no PC date yet.

What are you hoping to see in this extended look? More story beats, or maybe some gameplay systems?

That manatee board might tease surfing as an activity. Could the wave physics have collision bugs we'd want to test?
