GoKawiilGTA VI extended trailer draws 31 million Netflix views in six-hour exclusive window
Netflix's Tudum top 10 for August 24-30 ranked Rockstar's nearly 30-minute GTA VI extended look as the most-watched movie, topping charts in 58 countries with 31.1 million views despite only a six-hour exclusivity deal. After that window closed, Rockstar posted the same footage to YouTube, where it has since drawn over 17.7 million views using a different counting method.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The huge Netflix viewership, counted only when a full watch is completed, signals extraordinary demand for GTA VI ahead of its November 19 launch. It also shows how gaming content is becoming a draw for streaming platforms beyond traditional film and TV, and how publishers like Rockstar can leverage cross-platform exclusivity deals to maximize hype.
- GTA VI's extended look topped Netflix's movie charts in 58 countries with 31.1 million views.
- Netflix and YouTube count views differently, making direct comparisons tricky but still showing massive interest.
- GTA VI launches November 19 with a main story reportedly taking 80+ hours to complete.
Sony DualSense Wireless Controller (PS5) — If the GTA VI extended look has you counting down to launch, a spare DualSense controller means you're ready when Vice City opens up. Its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers make driving and shooting feel far more tactile, and having a second one charged avoids mid-session battery interruptions.
