• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: We don't spend too much time talking about video games,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: but we do talk TV a lot, and this story
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: happens to intersect both.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it involves what every gaming expert is predicting will
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: be the biggest game launch of all time, GTA 6,
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: making history on Netflix before it's even released.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the 27-minute GTA 6 extended look preview, which was
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: the first big reveal of the game, just debuted as
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: the number one movie on Netflix for the entire week.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: In 87 and 93 countries, it was available, no less.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: And here's the real kicker. Netflix was only given six
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: hours of exclusivity for the preview before it hit YouTube.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: But that's all the time fans needed to jump all
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: over it. It got nearly 10 million more views than
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: any other movie.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: And the GTA preview was Netflix's most viewed piece of content, period.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: But it's interesting Netflix decided to qualify it as a movie,
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: even though it really isn't.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: It's because it's uncharted territory. Netflix has never released anything
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: like it before, so they don't even have a way
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to properly categorize it yet. But it was such a success,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: they probably will soon. GTA 6 is out everywhere November 19th.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: That's direct from Hollywood.
