The "Extended Look" is a 26-minute official gameplay premiere that provided the first deep dive into GTA VI's mechanics and world, showing off much more than the leaked footage did.

Here are the key details that were unveiled:

  • 🎬 It's a Long, Official First Look: This was a significant, nearly half-hour-long gameplay video that premiered on Netflix, marking the first official look at the actual game in action. All footage was captured entirely from a standard PlayStation 5 to demonstrate the game's performance on current-gen hardware. Its release followed a series of leaks that Rockstar described as "heartbreaking".

  •  The Jason & Lucia Dynamic: The video focused on the game's dual protagonists and their "Bonnie and Clyde" relationship. It confirmed you can seamlessly switch between them, even during missions, for example, having one drive while the other shoots. It also teased a new relationship system where your choices can develop their bond, though maintaining a platonic partnership is also a valid option.

  • A Smarter Wanted System: The police are now much more intelligent. The wanted system tracks specific details like your clothing, vehicle, and even your face. To evade capture, you'll need to tactically change your outfit or abandon your vehicle to throw the police off your trail. The classic six-star wanted level also makes its return.

  • A World of Detail and Activities: The showcase revealed a vibrant and dense open world. Key features included the return of the morality system from Red Dead Redemption 2, the ability to pet dogs, and a massive variety of activities like airboating, scuba diving, kayaking, base jumping, and even mini-golf. The game's social media culture was also highlighted, showing players can "doomscroll" feeds and even host in-game livestreams. Also having access to various building and interaction to the environment
