See Netflix’s First Look at Grand Theft Auto 6 After 13-Year Wait
Why Netflix Has a Man Living Inside a Hollywood Billboard—Yes, Inside
Get pumped—because Grand Theft Auto VI is just around the corner.
Netflix unveiled a 26-minute look at the much-anticipated video game on Aug. 27, giving a tour of Vice City and its surrounding areas in what appears to be the GTA franchise's largest map ever.
As seen in gameplay footage, characters Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos can pretty much do any of fan-favorite activities—car-jackings, shootouts, street-racing, robberies, swimming, jet-skiing, sky-diving, visiting the strip club and, yes, even petting dogs—from previous games.
However, new playable vehicles also include kayaks and airboats, fitting choices to roam around locations inspired by Florida.
What's more, GTA VI features a subtle dialogue system, as well as a more fluid gunplay.
Set to be released on Nov. 19, GTA VI comes 13 years after the record-breaking debut of Grand Theft Auto V, which followed the fast and furious adventures of retired bank robber Michael De Santa (Ned Luke), drug dealer Trevor Phillips (Steven Ogg) and Los Santos gangster Franklin Clinton (Shawn Fonteno).
And it was a long road to get here. After all, GTA VI's release date was pushed back several times since the game was first announced in 2023.
"With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception," Rockstar Games said in a 2024 statement after the initial release date was changed to May 2026. "We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve."
In November 2025, the video game publisher apologized for "adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait" after postponing the release date by six more months.
"These extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve," the company said at the time. "While the wait is a little longer, we are incredibly excited for players to experience the sprawling state of Leonida and a return to modern day Vice City."
Rockstar Games
In fact, the multiple delays ultimately landed GTA VI consecutive wins for Most Anticipated Game at the 2024 and 2025 Game Awards, as well as the prize for Most Wanted Game during the Golden Joystick Awards those same years.
"There's an incredible amount of people doing amazing things on Grand Theft Auto VI," Rockstar Games publishing manager David Manley teased at the 2024 Golden Joystick Awards, per PC Gamer. "Absolutely mind-blowing things."
