The extended look of Grand Theft Auto 6 was the most-viewed title on Netflix<\/a> last week, reaching 31.1 million views in four days.<\/p>\n

As Variety<\/a> reports, viewership was tracked from the premiere last Thursday (August 27) through Sunday (August 30), which marks the end of Netflix’s weekly Top 10 viewing window.<\/p>\n

The 30-minute preview led Netflix’s English-language film list in 87 of 93 tracked countries, surpassing the crime thriller The Whisper Man, which stars Robert De Niro and Adam Scott.<\/p>\n

The premiere was exclusive to Netflix for six hours before becoming available on YouTube<\/a>. The video on Rockstar Games’ channel has since reached 17 million views.<\/p>\n

Variety noted that Netflix “defines a view as the total hours viewed for a title divided by its runtime, meaning one household watching a program twice would only be counted once.” In contrast, YouTube counts a view as soon as a video begins to play.<\/p>\n

Sensor Tower data<\/a> indicated that Netflix’s US mobile viewership increased by 35% hour-over-hour during the extended preview last week.<\/p>\n

Mobile users rose by 50% compared to the average for the same period over the previous 12 weeks. Web traffic increased by 125%, temporarily causing the streaming service to crash<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick previously told GamesIndustry.biz that the Netflix premiere<\/a> was “one of the hors d’oeuvres” of its marketing campaign<\/a> for the title, which launches on November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The extended look of Grand Theft Auto 6 was the most-viewed title on Netflix last week, reaching 31.1…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603539,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[85,46,125],"class_list":["post-603538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603538"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603538\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
