GTA VI Dominated Netflix, with Extended Look Reaching 31.1 Million Views and No. 1 in 87 Countries

The special video Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look made an exceptionally strong start on Netflix. During its first week, it reached the top spot on the English-language films chart with a total of 31.1 million views.

Its global reach is even more impressive. GTA VI was the most-watched title in 87 of the 93 countries that Netflix tracks in its rankings. It was also the first-ever premiere of this type of game video on Netflix.

The approximately 27-minute Extended Look was created entirely from footage captured directly from the game running on PlayStation 5 and has so far provided the most extensive look at GTA VI. Rockstar showed the game world, Jason and Lucia, numerous gameplay systems, and further details from Vice City and its surroundings.

For comparison, the second most successful English-language film of the week, the thriller The Whisper Man, reached 23.2 million views. GTA VI therefore surpassed it by almost eight million.

The official Extended Look has 17.7 million views on Rockstar's YouTube channel. That brings the total to 48.8 million views across official channels, but given streamers and YouTubers, the overall figure could be around 150 million or more during the first week.
