GTA 6 is the most viewed program on Netflix at the moment!
Stronger than the thriller The Whisper Man or the final season of Outer Banks.
The GTA 6 phenomenon is also taking over Netflix: in just four days, the exclusive presentation of the game attracted 31.1 million views, taking first place in the platform’s global rankings.
Titled Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, this 27-minute video was uploaded to Netflix on Thursday, August 27, with six hours of exclusivity before arriving on YouTube. Between its upload and Sunday, August 30, it recorded 31.1 million views, becoming the most viewed content of the week on the streaming service.
A performance all the more impressive as Netflix had never before included content dedicated to a video game in this category. GTA 6 finished number 1 in the English-language film rankings in 87 of the 93 countries tracked by Netflix.
The video was then published on the Rockstar Games YouTube channel, where it already exceeded 17 million views on Tuesday, only on the studio’s official account. Be careful, however: the figures for the two platforms are not directly comparable. Netflix calculates a view by dividing the total number of hours watched by the length of the program, while YouTube counts a view as soon as a video begins to be viewed.
This “Extended Look” is above all the longest look ever offered at GTA 6. Captured entirely from images of the game on PlayStation 5, it shows the two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, in different cinematic and gameplay sequences throughout Vice City. Enough to give a new overview of the story and the immense open world imagined by Rockstar.
And the public has obviously not finished being passionate about the game. GTA 6 will be released on November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, after three years of waiting since the release of the first trailer.
On Netflix, the second most watched program of the week is far behind: the film The Whisper Man with Robert De Niro recorded 23.2 million views. In terms of series and documentaries, Death of the Pastor’s Wife comes first with 19 million views.
