Netflix vs YouTube: What's the Difference?
Netflix Premiere
The first look debuts exclusively on Netflix — the first time a Rockstar trailer has premiered on a streaming service. No extra purchase: any Netflix subscription works.
Watch on the Netflix app on TV, phone, tablet or in-browser.
YouTube Premiere
Six hours later the full look goes live free on Rockstar's official YouTube channel. No login, no subscription — just open YouTube at 9 PM ET.
The premiere streams with a live chat, and stays up as a normal video afterward.
