Der neueste Vorgeschmack von Rockstar auf Grand Theft Auto VI hat auf der chinesischen Streaming-Plattform Bilibili eine offiziell modifizierte Version erhalten, mit starken Änderungen, die bestimmte visuelle Sequenzen erheblich verschleiern. Das Ausmaß der an dem Extended Look-Footage vorgenommenen Modifikationen macht mehrere Szenen äußerst schwer klar erkennbar.
Rockstar Games premiered an extended preview of Grand Theft Auto VI exclusively on Netflix, reportedly drawing 31.1 million views and becoming the platform's most-watched content for the week. The footage, captured from PlayStation 5 gameplay and running roughly 26-27 minutes, was available through a six-hour exclusive window that some reports say caused brief technical strain on Netflix's servers. Sources differ on the exact duration of availability: some describe a six-hour exclusive window before wider distribution, while others frame it as a four-day Netflix availability period from August 27th-30th. Netflix categorized the content as an English-language film in its metrics, and it topped charts in 87 of 93 monitored territories, substantially outpacing the second-place title. The preview also gained additional views through subsequent YouTube distribution.
