Netflix reported that the extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI dominated its rankings during the final week of August. The video held the top spot across 58 countries despite a six-hour exclusivity window from August 27 to 30. Netflix's deal with Rockstar Games allowed the trailer to trend as the number one movie for the week of August 24 through August 30.

Following the exclusivity period, Rockstar Games uploaded the extended trailer to its YouTube channel, where it accumulated over 17.7 million views. As Variety noted, viewership metrics differ between platforms. Netflix counts a single complete viewing as one view, while YouTube tallies each playback.

By Netflix's measurement, the extended look garnered 31.1 million views, reflecting high fan anticipation for the title. The footage showcases gameplay from the PlayStation 5 version, featuring combat mechanics, character switching, and side activities. GTA VI launches on November 19, with estimates suggesting players may spend 80 hours or more to complete the main story.
