Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look is scheduled to arrive in two stages on Thursday, August 27. Netflix subscribers can watch first at 12 p.m. PT / 3 p.m. ET, while the wider public release is set for 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET on YouTube and the official Grand Theft Auto VI website. The six-hour gap is the key detail for anyone deciding when and where to tune in.
In brief
- Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on Thursday, August 27, at 12 p.m. PT and 3 p.m. ET.
- The Netflix premiere is reserved for subscribers during a six-hour exclusivity window.
- The presentation is due to become free to watch at 6 p.m. PT and 9 p.m. ET on Rockstar Games’ official YouTube channel and the Grand Theft Auto VI website.
- The announced UK Netflix premiere time is 8 p.m. BST on August 27.
For US viewers, the schedule is straightforward: the Netflix premiere begins at noon on the West Coast and 3 p.m. on the East Coast. Readers elsewhere can use those two announced US time zones as their reference point when checking a local time-zone converter. In the United Kingdom, the Netflix start time has been listed as 8 p.m. BST.
Netflix starts the Grand Theft Auto VI presentation
The first showing is set for Netflix on August 27. According to VICE’s schedule for the Extended Look, the stream begins at 12 p.m. PT and 3 p.m. ET. Access during this initial window is limited to Netflix subscribers.
That exclusivity is scheduled to last six hours. It means viewers who have Netflix can watch at the announced premiere time, while those without a subscription can wait for the free release later in the day. The timing, rather than any unconfirmed details about the presentation itself, is what has been formally outlined so far.

Free YouTube release begins six hours later
The presentation is expected to become freely available at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET on the same Thursday. It will be published through the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel, and it will also be available via the official Grand Theft Auto VI website.
The practical distinction is simple. Netflix is the place to watch at the first announced time, but YouTube and Rockstar’s website are the options for viewers who want to watch without a Netflix subscription. A report from Us Magazine confirms the six-hour window and the 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET YouTube release.
How to plan around your local time zone
Start with the platform you intend to use. If you are watching through Netflix, convert 12 p.m. PT or 3 p.m. ET on August 27 into your local time. If you are waiting for the free release, convert 6 p.m. PT or 9 p.m. ET instead. These are separate release points, not two alternative times for the same public availability.
Viewers in the UK have an additional published reference for the Netflix premiere: 8 p.m. BST on August 27. For other regions, the available announcements establish the Pacific and Eastern US timings, so checking the corresponding local time before the day of release is the most reliable way to avoid missing the chosen viewing window.
What Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look will contain has not been officially detailed in the available information. For now, the confirmed plan is limited to its August 27 Netflix premiere, its six-hour subscriber-only period, and its later free availability through Rockstar Games’ YouTube channel and the Grand Theft Auto VI website.
