Breaking Down The GTA 6 Extended Look

But damn it — it’s a raid. The cops burst in and the action starts, with Jason at the lead. Jason crouches behind a table with a pistol and cleanly takes out a few enemies with Lucia following. They head down the hall and continue to shoot people, Jason hot-swapping a shotgun as needed. The pair banter as they flee, eventually ending up in a random, adorable old lady’s apartment and jumping out the window.

Cue a quick intro montage, and then Jason and Lucia are chilling at home. Lucia’s hair is the true narrator here, changing with each new scenario, letting us know time has passed. Her hair was braided and pulled back in the first scene, but now it’s wrapped up in a messy bun, loose. They’re getting ready to go out, doing cute couple things in their cozy, well-decorated apartment. Jason wanders the space, watches a few silly ads on TV, and they leave when Lucia is primped and dressed in a tight pink cocktail dress. They drive away in an old-school red convertible, chatting while Depeche Mode plays on the radio.

In another montage, Lucia reloads a shotgun with one hand, tossing it in the air, racking it, and catching it back in the same palm. A subsequent string of scenes shows Lucia in a short blonde wig, tied up next to Jason as they struggle to escape. They meet up with old friends who offer them dangerous jobs. There are numerous sequences of Jason and Lucia robbing small shops and convenience stores, bandanas pulled over their mouths and guns blazing. And, of course, they steal a car or two.

At one point, Lucia wears a sick leather jacket with a skeleton stitched into its back — and, yeah, you can see that it’s stitched, the lines of texture and the bubbled fabric around the bones.

In a new scene, Lucia and Jason pick up a dude who’s on the run, and they flee with Lucia driving. Red and blue lights on their tail, Jason gets in the back seat and starts shooting an automatic rifle out a back window, taking out helicopters and cop cars. Here, you can clearly see six stars in the upper-right of the screen, signaling a return to the classic maximum Wanted Level.  

The perspective eventually swaps to Lucia, who’s on a mission to prove she can handle this life, and as the driver she successfully evades authorities while Jason and their contact keep shooting. They torch the car, get in a van, and disappear.

In another montage, Jason and Lucia ride a fan boat, go to clubs, throw an influencer in their trunk and go base-jumping.

The final setting has Lucia in a slick black bob and Jason in a casual suit, preparing to board a private plane. They’re running security for an important guy during a corporate gala, and they get separated. We follow Jason, Lucia in his earpiece, as he finds his target doing lines with friends in a dark office away from the party. Obviously, gunfire breaks out on all levels of the building. Jason crouches behind boxes, desks and corners, shooting enemies as they careen into view. He activates bullet time, adding red and yellow splotches to his target and allowing him time to line up a good shot. Meanwhile, Lucia is gunless, and she fights off an attacker by stabbing him in the eye with her heel. Shortly after, she’s tackled down an elevator shaft.

The final montage rolls. Its highlight is a small chihuahua dressed in a purple tutu with little fairy wings, but it showcases scenes from across Leonida. 

The extended look ends with a note saying it was captured on a standard PS5. It’s difficult to judge its graphical fidelity and framerate from a low-bitrate Netflix stream, but GTA VI appears to hold 30 frames per second during the majority of the footage shown. All told, it looks like a fun place to be.
