The wait is almost over! Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated extended look at Grand Theft Auto 6 has landed on Netflix, and it’s already making waves. The exclusive preview isn’t just generating hype; it’s completely dominating the streaming platform, proving that gamers are hungry for a glimpse of what’s to come.
GTA 6: A Netflix Sensation
The extended look at GTA 6 has officially topped Netflix’s top 10 chart in the English Film category. In its first week alone, it amassed an astounding 31.1 million views, leaving other contenders in the dust. To put that into perspective, the second-place film, “The Whisper Man,” starring Robert De Niro, Adam Scott, and Michelle Monaghan, only managed to pull in 23.2 million views. What’s even more impressive is that GTA 6 achieved this incredible feat despite not debuting until Thursday.
Netflix defines a “view” as one full-runtime equivalent of watch time. This means that the numbers reflect actual viewing engagement, not just initial impressions. For comparison, on Rockstar’s official YouTube channel, the GTA 6 Extended Look has garnered 17 million views as of today. While different metrics are used across platforms, the overall picture is clear: gamers are incredibly excited about GTA 6.
Last week, “Death of the Pastor’s Wife” topped Netflix’s TV chart with 19 million views, while “Facing El Chapo” led the non-English film category with 20.7 million views. But all eyes are now on Vice City’s neon-drenched future.
