Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look has secured the top spot on Netflix’s weekly global English-language movie rankings. The gameplay showcase attracted 31.1 million views within just four days of its release. According to Netflix, it was the most-watched title of the week in 87 out of 93 countries tracked by the platform.
GTA 6 Gameplay Showcase Dominates Netflix’s Global Chart
The approximately 27-minute GTA 6: An Extended Look premiered on Netflix on August 27 and quickly climbed to the number-one position on the platform’s global English-language movie chart for the week of August 24 to August 30.
Netflix’s figures show that the showcase generated 31.1 million views, with viewers spending around 14 million hours watching the gameplay footage.
The achievement is particularly notable because the GTA 6 showcase was available exclusively on Netflix for only around six hours. Rockstar Games subsequently released the same presentation on YouTube on August 27. However, Netflix subscribers had the opportunity to watch the gameplay footage first through the streaming service.
The crime thriller The Whisper Man ranked second on Netflix’s English-language movie list, while the horror film The Last House took third place.

The footage suggests that GTA 6 will offer players plenty to explore beyond its primary missions. A wide range of side activities is expected to add more variety to the game’s open-world experience.
