What Time Does GTA 6 Unlock?
GTA 6 releases at midnight local time on November 19, 2026, on both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Rockstar Support says Grand Theft Auto VI releases at midnight local time on November 19, 2026, in all regions, on both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Your own midnight
“Local time” means midnight in your own time zone, not one single moment worldwide. Pre-load works differently on Xbox, where it opens everywhere at once at 12 a.m. GMT on November 10. On PS5 it opens at midnight local time.
Before launch
Pre-load opens on November 10. Our launch day checklist covers the details, and the Launch Day Live page has a countdown to midnight in your time zone.
