GTA 6 Netflix premiere has fans losing their minds - and not everyone is happy

An extended look at GTA 6 premiering on Netflix has got fans completely losing their minds on social media - and not everyone is happy.

Rockstar Games and Netflix announced GTA 6: An Extended Look will premiere on the streaming service on Thursday 27 August at 3pm ET (8pm BST / 12noon PT) with the same video going live on Rockstar's official YouTube channel and website - for free - just six hours later.

Although a first-look at a game through a streaming service is a first, studios working with other companies, specifically publications, to have the exclusive on a first look at the title they've been working on isn't exactly anything new.

But with anticipation for GTA 6 at fever pitch, a lot of fans have been left unhappy on social media whereas others can't contain their hype.

"It's a reflection of what we hope Netflix is becoming: a place where the most ambitious storytelling, from any medium, can find the biggest possible audience."
