GTA 6 unlock times by country

The PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store list GTA 6 for midnight local time on November 19, 2026, so it unlocks first in New Zealand, at Wed, Nov 18, 11:00 AM UTC, and last in Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, at Thu, Nov 19, 06:00 AM UTC. Rockstar has not announced an unlock time.

Every country, in unlock order

63 countries from the PlayStation Store listings; for 40 of them we also checked the Xbox Store, which lists the same time. Each country’s store lists one time, shown here in that store’s main time zone; in countries with several time zones it falls before midnight further west.

Could these times change?

Yes. These are the stores’ own release times, not times Rockstar has announced, and Sony or Microsoft could change them. For the 2021 GTA Trilogy, Rockstar set one worldwide time instead, announced six days before launch.

Digital pre-orders can pre-load from 10 November 2026, so the game can be ready to play the moment your store unlocks. How pre-loading works
