An extended look at the forthcoming “Grand Theft Auto 6” dominated Netflix’s viewership rankings during the week ending August 30, accumulating 31.1 million views in the four-day period following its release on August 27. The 27-minute special, which Netflix classified as an English-language film, ranked first in that category across 87 of the 93 countries the streaming service monitors globally.
The video appeared on Netflix with a six-hour exclusive window before being released to YouTube by Rockstar Games. On YouTube, the title has garnered more than 17 million views as of the article’s publication date, though YouTube and Netflix employ different methodologies for counting viewership. Netflix measures views by dividing total hours watched by the content’s runtime, while YouTube counts each video play as initiated, regardless of whether the entire video is watched or if it is replayed.
The special consists entirely of in-game footage captured on PlayStation 5 and represents the most comprehensive look at the game to date. The game is scheduled for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S on November 19. The extended look features the game’s protagonists, Jason and Lucia, in both cinematic and gameplay sequences set in the fictional Vice City, while providing narrative context for the title.
The performance placed the “Grand Theft Auto 6” special significantly ahead of other content on Netflix’s charts. The second-ranked English-language film for the week was “The Whisper Man” with 23.2 million views. On the television side, the documentary “Death of the Pastor’s Wife” led with 19 million views, followed by the third season of Tyler Perry’s “Beauty in Black” with 13 million views.
