Rockstar Approached Netflix for Exclusive GTA 6 Extended Look, Not the Other Way Around
The big Grand Theft Auto 6 extended look ( mostly ) went off without a hitch, and apparently, it was Rockstar Games' idea to bring it to Netflix in the first place, not the other way around.
Amidst the unprecedented amount of hype for GTA 6, there was a fair amount of confusion from fans, who questioned Rockstar's decision to make its gameplay debut a Netflix exclusive for six hours after its premiere yesterday. This first real look at Jason and Lucia's story definitely managed to wow viewers, but even after 27 minutes of Vice City, the question remained: Why Netflix?
Many assumed it to be a high-value deal cooked up by the streaming giant to pull eyes its way, but apparently, that's not the case. A Rockstar PR representative told Kinda Funny Games ahead of the big reveal that it was actually the GTA 6 developer's idea to stream the extended look on Netflix. The quote is: "We wanted to go to Netflix."
