Rockstar quietly releases a 14GB, 70Mbps version of GTA 6's Extended Look that looks much better than YouTube

Rockstar Games has released An Extended Look at Grand Theft Auto 6, which has arrived in a new 20-minute video showcasing various cutscenes, gameplay, incredible graphics, and mayhem.

The trailer was first released on Netflix and then six hours later was dropped onto the Rockstar Games YouTube channel for everyone to view it. While many have already watched it on either or both of these platforms, those who wish to view it at its highest quality possible will want to download the higher-bitrate version of the trailer. The file is from Rockstar Games' official website, and this video file is higher quality than the versions available on Netflix and YouTube; both of these platforms have varying degrees of compression.

After conducting some side-by-side viewings, the downloadable version of the trailer definitely contains a higher-quality image, and that becomes particularly noticeable in darker environments where shadows and light meet to create a fringe. An example from the trailer is the scene where Jason is walking through a nightclub dance floor. Looking at the back of Jason's jacket in the YouTube and Netflix videos, you can see quite a bit of compression, which appears in the form of blocking or smearing when movement is occurring.

The downloadable version contains a much clearer, stable image that preserves film grain and noise better than the other two versions of the trailer. It is also much better for sourcing any screenshots you might want. So, if you want another reason to watch the trailer, or wish to see Grand Theft Auto 6 in its highest possible quality until it is officially released and playable, check out the 14GB, 70Mbps version of GTA 6's Extended Look.
