- GTA 6 trailer 3 (now known as GTA 6 extended look) will be released on August 27, 2026, at 3 PM ET on Netflix.
- The trailer is expected to feature gameplay footage hinting at the main plotline and in-game features.
- Rockstar Games has announced an extended look at GTA 6 around Gamescom 2026.
GTA 6 is arguably one of the biggest video game releases of 2026, and its November 19 release is almost three months away now. The anticipation to know more about the game continues to grow as fans await GTA 6 trailer 3, since the pre-orders didn’t feature any in-game footage.
While Rockstar remains tight-lipped, you might be curious about when GTA 6 trailer 3 will release. Here’s everything we know so far about GTA 6 trailer 3, along with its expected release date.
When is the GTA 6 Trailer 3 Releasing?
Currently, Rockstar Games has not confirmed a trailer 3 for GTA 6 or its release date. However, interestingly enough, Rockstar did announce a GTA 6 extended look dropping on Netflix on August 27, 2026, at 3 PM ET.
According to Rockstar, fans will be able to see an “extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI” on Netflix at 3 PM ET and on YouTube and the GTA 6 website at 9 PM ET on August 27. While this isn’t any confirmation whether the ‘extended look’ is indeed GTA 6 trailer 3 or not, many believe it’s going to be a gameplay reveal rather than a third trailer itself.
Shortly after the announcement trailer for the GTA 6 extended look dropped, fans started mocking Rockstar, joking that they released a “trailer for a trailer”, believing the reveal might as well be a trailer 3.
Unlike earlier speculations, when fans thought that a new trailer would launch alongside the GTA 6 pre-orders going live, Rockstar decided to separate those two announcements. Releasing the trailer alongside the pre-orders would have worked fantastically to boost sales, but that didn’t happen.
We noticed this trend already when the GTA 6 cover art details were revealed in a separate video. So, while you wait for GTA 6 trailer 3 or the official extended look on August 27, go through the GTA 6 global price list and the available editions to finalize your purchase.
What to Expect From GTA 6 Trailer 3? Extended Look Speculation
GTA 6 trailer 3, or rather the extended look, might end up revealing a whole bunch of game mechanics and will likely focus on the bigger narrative surrounding Jason and Lucia. So, you might expect more action sequences, larger heists, police pursuits, and some additional parts of Leonida on the GTA 6 map that we haven’t seen yet.
Furthermore, the reveal can also showcase how the dual protagonist switching system in GTA 6 would work between Jason and Lucia, giving players a deep dive into the actual hands-on gameplay and plot details.
Looking back, the GTA 6 trailer 1 introduced fans to Vice City, Leonida, and Rockstar’s satirical take on modern social media culture, with the reveal of its protagonists, Jason and Lucia.
On the contrary, GTA 6 trailer 2 shifted the attention towards an up-close and personal look into Vice City through Jason’s eyes, plus gave fans a deep dive into its world, while introducing some GTA 6 characters.
However, when it comes to GTA 6 trailer 3, fans are hoping to see more of Vice City with side missions, main heist missions, progression mechanics, and performance modes.
GTA 6 Trailer Release Timeline
The first GTA 6 trailer was released on December 5, 2023, while the second trailer took its sweet time to reach fans. GTA 6 Trailer 2 was released on May 6, 2025, which means it took 1 year and 5 months between the first and second trailers.
Now, as mentioned above, the third GTA 6 trailer or exclusive look is confirmed to release on August 27, 2026. This marks a gap of 1 year and 3 months between the second and the third trailer. If we count from the beginning, there will be a gap of 2 years and 9 months between the first and the third trailer release.
