As the release of Grand Theft Auto VI approaches, the hype continues to build—and it just stepped up a level with the announcement of a new “extended look” at the game, which will premiere on August 27. It’s been over a year since the last trailer for the game appeared, so it’s safe to say that this new one—and look, we’re going to call it a trailer, for the sake of convenience if nothing else—will be sending Netflix’s servers into meltdown. Wait, whose servers? Yep: Rockstar’s announcement proclaims that the trailer is premiering on Netflix. This is technically true, but it’s also worth noting that the exclusivity lasts for a whole six (6) hours before the trailer appears elsewhere: Netflix subscribers can watch it at 3pm ET, while everyone else will have to wait until 9pm ET.
