Choose how much you want to see
For a brief introduction, watch Trailer 1 and stop there. That limits exposure, though any trailer can reveal characters or situations you might prefer to discover while playing.
For story context, follow release order and read the Jason and Lucia introduction after Trailer 2. For geography, follow the trailers with the six regional galleries and compare labeled images at your own pace.
For the longer presentation, begin with An Extended Look and return to the short trailers afterward if you want the earlier introductions. These are editorial viewing suggestions; none is a required order.

Give each viewing a purpose
Choose one question before pressing play: which person is speaking, which place might this be, or what exactly does the footage show? On a second pass, note the timestamp and compare the relevant character or regional reference. Keeping a narrow question makes it easier to notice details without pausing every few seconds.
Rockstar and Netflix identify An Extended Look as entirely in-game footage captured on PS5. That describes its capture source; it does not supply a frame-rate comparison or demonstrate every console configuration.
