What the extended look actually showed
Coverage of the extended look describes a long stretch of in-game footage covering both protagonists and the conspiracy framing. Here is what is claimed and how firmly.

The extended look is far longer than a conventional trailer. Netflix lists it at 26 minutes 49 seconds, which is why coverage variously rounds it to 26, 27 or “almost 30” minutes.
Game Informer describes it as essentially a very long montage of story missions and open-world moments, and reports that the footage shows switching between Jason and Lucia. How that switching works is not something the footage — or Rockstar — explains.
Why this is Reported and the premiere itself is Official
That Rockstar published the video is Official: Rockstar published it. What the video contains, described in prose by an outlet, is Reported — a summary written by someone else, however careful.
This distinction sounds pedantic right up until two outlets describe the same scene differently. It is the reason our labelling policy separates the two.
