iShowSpeed and Kai Cenat Live-React to GTA 6 Netflix Extended Look

Khizar Mundia Published 28/08/2026

For the upcoming GTA 6 release, it is fair to say that Rockstar Games has done things differently. Instead of the traditional gameplay trailer that we have come to expect, the developer instead utilized streaming platform Netflix for an extended look.

What’s more, some organic marketing fit for the 21st century took place at the same time, with several notable streamers, including Darren “iShowSpeed” Watkins Jr., reacting to the footage as it dropped.

GTA 6 may be the most anticipated games of all time, and Rockstar has delayed the game multiple times in the past, but there is now a fixed November 19, 2026 launch date. This hype has seen popular creators such as Kai Cenat announce that he will hold a marathon upon release. Several other streamers will play the game during their streams, and Speed even reacted to GTA 6’s Netflix extended look during a livestream.

iShowSpeed blown away by GTA 6 graphics, but says game is just like GTA 5

Speed initially tried to load the Netflix extended look but was unable to start it during his stream, as the server crashed almost as soon as the footage went live. However, he was soon able to bring up the media on his stream and started reacting right away. The YouTuber’s biggest reaction was that the game’s visuals “feel like a dream.” He even recognized a road in the game, stating that he had driven on the exact road in IRL Miami. iShowSpeed also claimed that Lucia has to be an IRL person because of how realistic she looks, and the creator expressed his awe for the game’s character models.

These may have been the more tame reactions of Speed, but what is an iShowSpeed YouTube livestream without comedy? Speed reacted to the 30,000 calorie burger in-game ad, stating that his brother Jamal would eat that. In another funny part of the reaction stream, Speed trolled his viewers by pretending to be playing GTA 6 rather than watching the Netflix extended look. The IRL YouTuber ended his reaction by saying the game is like a better version of GTA 5.

iShowSpeed wasn’t the only streamer reacting to the GTA 6 Netflix extended look, and the game itself apparently has content creators in-game.

Fans notice N3on in GTA 6 Netflix extended look; iShowSpeed and Kai react

The GTA 6 Netflix extended look features a content creator who is IRL streaming, completing a trunk challenge and talking to his chat during the footage, but that isn’t the interesting part. What makes the in-game streamer stand out is that he has more than a passing resemblance to Kick streamer Rangesh “N3on” Mutama, who recently collaborated with Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg.

Rockstar hasn’t confirmed the identity of the in-game streamer, but N3on talked about this in a recent stream, joking about whether a B-tier streamer would be featured in GTA 6. He said he has made it and thanked everyone for their love and support. The streamer also said some creators disrespected him, which viewers speculated may have been a dig at Kai Cenat and iShowSpeed, who didn’t acknowledge that the in-game streamer looked eerily similar to N3on.

Kai Cenat and several other content creators also reacted to the Netflix extended look, with the Mafiathon creator left speechless after seeing how real Lucia and Miami look. He clearly loved the game, as he told Rockstar to “take his money” and also told viewers that they should leave their women if they aren’t gifted GTA 6 by their partners.

It remains to be seen if Rockstar releases any more gameplay footage before 19 November, but it is clear that streamers will be a big part of online discourse as soon as the game launches.
