BBC leaks GTA 6 Netflix Extended Look runtime — 30 minutes, not 20 as rumored

Rockstar has confirmed that the GTA 6 Extended Look on Netflix will air on August 27 as scheduled, despite recent leaks of pre-release gameplay footage shared by Cyberleak. However, the BBC may have inadvertently revealed the actual length of the special.

In a recent article, the BBC stated that Rockstar will break its long silence with a "special extended look" at the highly anticipated video game in a 30-minute special on Netflix. This contradicts earlier speculation, including claims from a Netflix customer support agent who reportedly said the showcase would last approximately 20 minutes. Other representatives gave different responses, casting doubt on that conversation.

Previously, the streaming service's app displayed a runtime of 30 minutes and 6 seconds, but many dismissed this as a placeholder or a glitch. There were also rumors that the special could be divided into three episodes, with a graphic from Netflix Portugal suggesting a total runtime exceeding 66 minutes. This scenario is considered the least likely, as neither Rockstar nor publisher Take-Two Interactive has confirmed such a format.

If the BBC's information is accurate, the 30-minute Extended Look will dwarf existing GTA 6 trailers—the longest of which, the second trailer, runs only 2 minutes and 47 seconds. Fans have been eagerly awaiting more substantial content since the game's announcement, and this extended showcase promises to provide the deepest look yet.

Rockstar's confirmation that the event is on schedule, despite recent leaks, suggests the company is committed to its planned marketing strategy. The exact content of the Extended Look remains undisclosed, but it is expected to include new gameplay footage, story details, and possibly character introductions. The BBC's report adds credibility to the 30-minute runtime, though Rockstar has not officially commented on the leak.
