Netflix and Rockstar Games have formed a first-of-its-kind partnership to premiere an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI. The video presentation will stream globally for Netflix subscribers on Thursday, August 27th, at 3 p.m. ET. This collaboration signals Netflix’s strategy to leverage major cultural events to drive subscriber retention.

The agreement grants Netflix a six-hour exclusive viewing window before the content moves to other platforms like YouTube. This move builds on an existing relationship where Netflix hosted mobile versions of Rockstar titles, including Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy. The partnership aims to establish Netflix as a leading destination for storytelling across both streaming and blockbuster gaming.
