# GTA 6's next trailer is a Netflix exclusive, and Take-Two says pre-orders are 'unprecedented'

**[Collections](https://daily.dev/sources/collections)** · 2 min read · 9 upvotes · 2 comments

## Summary

Rockstar Games will debut a new GTA 6 trailer exclusively on Netflix on August 27, 2026, requiring an active subscription to view. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick described pre-orders as 'unprecedented and astonishing' while cautioning they can be cancelled. The game launches November 19 at $80. Zelnick also predicted low-latency game streaming could arrive within three years and potentially expand the addressable install base tenfold, and noted PC now accounts for 40-50% of day-one sales versus 1-2% twenty years ago. Take-Two has no plans to go private and no post-launch layoffs are planned. Separately, Rockstar faces a UK employment tribunal over alleged union busting, with hearings scheduled for September through October 2026.

## Content

The GTA 6 marketing machine keeps finding new ways to get attention, and the numbers coming out of it are genuinely strange.

## Almost everyone is buying the expensive edition

Sensor Tower data shows 89% of GTA 6 preorders are going toward the $100 ultimate edition rather than the standard $80 version. That's a wild split. Normally special editions pull in something like 10-20% of preorders, tops. Getting nearly nine out of ten buyers to pay the premium is not normal behavior.

Sensor Tower's Karl Kontus chalks this up to two things: the price gap is small relative to what you get, and the hype around this game is basically unprecedented. His guess is that the split evens out closer to 50/50 by launch, once casual buyers who care more about price start showing up. Early adopters skew toward people who'll pay whatever for the full package; the mainstream crowd is pickier.

Current preorders sit around 4.3 million, with some projections floating numbers as high as 25-40 million by launch. Take those projections with a grain of salt, but even the low end is enormous for a single game.

## Zelnick: don't read too much into preorders (but also, look at these preorders)

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has been doing the rounds, and his comments are a bit of a tightrope walk. He called the preorder numbers

## Questions this post answers

### When is the next GTA 6 trailer releasing and where can I watch it?

The next GTA 6 trailer, titled 'Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look,' debuts exclusively on Netflix on August 27, 2026. Watching it requires an active Netflix subscription. Whether it will eventually be made publicly available outside Netflix is unclear. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick described it as just one part of a longer marketing push ahead of the game's November 19 launch.
