The GTA VI first look is also a significant development in relation to Netflix. This is the first time that Netflix will include the promotion of a future video game in such a manner. The video came out before the expected release date of GTA VI on November 19.

The game will be developed and published by Rockstar Games. The game will be the 8th instalment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise and sixteenth overall. It will take place in the made-up US state of Leonida, inspired by Florida.
