What’s behind the massive success of the GTA 6 Extended Look? The 27-minute gameplay reveal, captured natively on a PlayStation 5, provided players with a detailed view of new features and Vice City. It highlighted the revamped wanted level system and demonstrated how GTA 6’s protagonists interact and switch between characters.
This is just the beginning of what was revealed during the Netflix showcase. Interestingly, recent GTA 6 leaks didn’t seem to dampen the excitement or slow down the anticipation for the upcoming release.
Beyond Netflix, the GTA 6 Extended Look on YouTube has also broken the 17 million views mark in the past five days. The showcase’s success even led to a reported 436% increase in pre-orders for GTA 6 on the same day as the reveal.
Looking ahead, there’s a good chance we could see another full-length trailer later this year, similar to the launch cycle of Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar Games might reveal more about the GTA 6 map, which is reportedly twice the size of GTA 5’s. With so much potential content to showcase, developers have ample opportunities to maintain the high momentum and excitement.
