Step by Step
How to Watch on Any Device
Phone / Tablet
Open the YouTube app (or m.youtube.com) at 9 PM ET and search "GTA 6 Extended Look." Tap the premiere. For the early look, open the Netflix app at 3 PM ET.
TV / Console
Smart TV and console apps work the same way — search on YouTube at 9 PM ET. No TV app? Cast from your phone.
Laptop / Desktop
Open youtube.com in any browser at 9 PM ET. The premiere has a live chat; the video remains available afterward.
Missed both? The YouTube upload stays live indefinitely — you lose nothing by being late, only the live-chat experience.
Plan Ahead
Set Your Own Reminder
- 8 PM ET is roughly 30–60 minutes before most YouTube premieres "go live" in the player — join early to avoid a queue.
- Convert 9 PM ET to your time zone on our main page — Beijing viewers tune in at 9 AM on August 28.
- After the premiere, our full analysis goes live here.
