Rockstar has officially published its “extended look” at Grand Theft Auto VI on YouTube and on its website, as promised. The in-depth preview, which “entirely” features footage captured from the PS5 version of the game, initially premiered on Netflix at 3PM ET. But because Rockstar allowed creators to post reaction videos, you’ve technically been able to watch the video on YouTube before the studio’s official upload.

The nearly 27-minute preview largely focuses more on atmosphere, protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, and highlighting locations in the game instead of diving deep on specific game mechanics. It feels more like slices of a movie than a video game trailer. But there are a few sections showing off playable shootouts and police car chases as well as activities like shooting a basketball and scuba diving. Other outlets that got previews from Rockstar have more details on gameplay that weren’t included in the video.
GTA VI is set to release on November 19th at a starting price of $79.99.
