Netflix's 6-Hour GTA 6 Exclusive Pays Off as Rockstar's Extended Look Dominates Netflix Top 10 in First Week

Netflix’s six-hour “exclusive look” at GTA 6 dominated the streamer’s English Film Top 10 in its first week, racking up 31.1 million views for the August 24–30 reporting period. The number beat the No. 2 title, The Whisper Man, which logged 23.2 million views. GTA 6’s performance stands out because it didn’t debut until Thursday. Netflix counts a “view” differently than YouTube: it calculates views as total watch hours divided by the title runtime. On Rockstar’s official YouTube channel, the extended look had 17 million views as of 12 p.m. PT on the day of publication. Netflix says Rockstar approached about the premiere.
