Rockstar Approached Netflix for Exclusive GTA 6 Extended Look, Not the Other Way Around

The big Grand Theft Auto 6 extended look (mostly) went off without a hitch, and apparently, it was Rockstar Games' idea to bring it to Netflix in the first place, not the other way around.

Amidst the unprecedented amount of hype for GTA 6, there was a fair amount of confusion from fans, who questioned Rockstar's decision to make its gameplay debut a Netflix exclusive for six hours after its premiere yesterday. This first real look at Jason and Lucia's story definitely managed to wow viewers, but even after 27 minutes of Vice City, the question remained: Why Netflix?

Many assumed it to be a high-value deal cooked up by the streaming giant to pull eyes its way, but apparently, that's not the case. A Rockstar PR representative told Kinda Funny Games ahead of the big reveal that it was actually the GTA 6 developer's idea to stream the extended look on Netflix. The quote is: "We wanted to go to Netflix."

It's a response that may generate more questions than answers. Rockstar first raised eyebrows when it confirmed plans to bring GTA 6: Extended Look exclusively to Netflix earlier this month, promising what eventually turned out to be a lengthy version of a long-awaited third trailer – but only for subscribers. Even with the knowledge that the full presentation would eventually drop on YouTube just a few hours later, fans who have been waiting 13 years for the next Grand Theft Auto were annoyed to hear they'd have to wait even longer if they didn't want to fork over the cash.
