GamingGTA 615:33, 24 Aug 2026Grand Theft Auto fans have been glued to their social media feeds as leaks of GTA 6 spill all over the internet. But while developer Rockstar Games deals with that issue, there's the small matter of a unique Netflix special on the horizon.‌After penning a significant deal with the streaming giants, Rockstar announced that GTA 6: An Extended Look would premiere exclusively on Netflix. Planned for release on Thursday, August 27 at 8pm BST, it'll showcase the game six hours before it's live on official social media channels.‌Little is known about the Netflix special despite being just a few days away from launching. Recent speculation suggested that the extended look would release as a three-part episodic series but this was dismissed as being the result of a what appeared to be an edited screenshot of a Netflix webpage.‌However, fans have been given a new indication as to what's coming on Thursday. A new BBC Newsbeat report claimed that GTA 6: An Extended Look will last for roughly 30 minutes.Although the report has now been altered to omit the expected runtime, fans had already got their hands on the news. The article originally stated: "A few weeks ago, developer Rockstar announced it would break its long silence with a special "extended look" at the highly anticipated video game in a 30-minute special on Netflix."Netflix special 'will be more exciting than leaks'‌The special look at GTA 6 comes after days of leaks that have given fans an earlier than expected sneak peek at the game. A leaker who appears to have a working full build of GTA 6 has dropped various gameplay clips.Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive have been taking legal action in recent days in an attempt to plug the leaks. Take-Two has already issued a series of copyright takedown notices across social media platforms like YouTube, Reddit and X, formerly Twitter.These notices are targeting accounts that host or reshare the unauthorised footage and legal reps have reported issue cease-and-desist notices. It marks a fresh legal campaign for Rockstar and Take-Two, who appear to be taking a no-nonsense route after the 2022 network breach that caused leaks of GTA 6 four years ago.‌Fans have pointed out on Reddit that the leaked clips we've seen so far add up to a total of "roughly" 13 minutes of gameplay. However, it is widely considered that the leaks came from an older build of the game, reportedly dating back from last year.Fans say they expect a "more exciting" look at GTA 6 from Rockstar's official reveal via Netflix than the leaked footage so far. One wrote on Reddit: "What the leaker is leaking is not the same footage as what Rockstar will be showing."Another agreed, saying: "I think comparing it to the leaked footage isn’t helpful. "The leaked footage for the most part is just messing about In the open world.Article continues below"The extended look will be more exciting game play." A third Reddit user expressed apprehension, adding: "I feel like it’s gonna disappoint a lot of people now, especially after the leaks."Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌NetflixGTAGTA 6Rockstar GamesGamingVideo Games
