Rockstar's own text about the Extended Look is short: it was captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5, and it showcases the series' "biggest, most immersive evolution yet". It names no gameplay change. We could not view the video, so this page does not break down scenes; treat any list of "confirmed gameplay changes" as unverified unless it cites a Rockstar page.

Claims we could not verify
The previous version of this page described specific systems as shown or explained in the video and in developer interviews: switching between the two protagonists, how their relationship develops, how police respond to witnessed crimes, how cars are stolen, how weapons and money are carried. We are not repeating those here as fact. If Rockstar states any of them on Newswire or the GTA VI site, they will be added with the link.
