Rockstar announces GTA 6 will unlock at local midnight across regions
According to cnBeta, GTA6 will unlock at local midnight across regions on November 19, with New Zealand first to enter. Due to time zones, US unlock times will be Pacific 3am, Central 5am, and Eastern 6am on November 18, while New Zealand goes first; Xbox users may bypass by changing the console region to New Zealand, but PS5 cannot. Online multiplayer may not launch at release (potentially not until 2027), and there will be no physical disc version—only a digital code in boxed copies.
