GTA6's 26-minute 'An Extended Look' — what it actually showed

On August 27 Rockstar dropped An Extended Look, a ~26-minute gameplay demo that's the closest look at GTA6 yet. It premiered on Netflix, then hit Rockstar's YouTube channel in 4K about six hours later.

The headline takeaway: dual-protagonist play is the whole game now, not a side feature.

What it showed

• Jason and Lucia switch freely, mid-mission and out in the world. The "partner missions" are built around the two of them working together.
• Leonida is bigger. Swamps, beaches, small towns, and Vice City's urban core all flow together into a world clearly larger than GTA V.
• You browse an in-game social feed. Viral videos, influencers, and events you discover through the feed — a full fake internet inside the game.
• NPCs feel more alive. They keep daily routines, random events pop up, and shops are interactive.

What it didn't show

The online mode. Rockstar is keeping multiplayer completely quiet, which lines up with the single-player-only launch.

If you watched it, what caught your eye — the character switching or the map scale?
