Netflix’s most-watched title last week was a 27-minute preview of the upcoming video game *Grand Theft Auto VI*, garnering 31.1 million views globally over the weekend. The preview debuted on Netflix on August 27 and also appeared on YouTube six hours later, accumulating 17 million views as of publication. Netflix calculates views by dividing hours viewed by runtime, while YouTube counts a view when a video begins to play.
The *Grand Theft Auto VI* preview reached No. 1 on Netflix’s English film list, and held that position in 87 of the 93 countries where Netflix tracks viewership. The footage was captured entirely from in-game gameplay on PlayStation 5, offering fans an extended look at the highly anticipated release. This signals high anticipation for the new installment, following a 13-year hiatus for the popular franchise.
*Grand Theft Auto V*, released in 2013, previously set a record for the biggest entertainment launch in history, earning $1 billion in just three days. *The Whisper Man* came in second on the English film list with 23.2 million views, while *Death of a Pastor’s Wife* debuted as the top English series with 19 million views.
