GTA 6 is one of the most anticipated games of all time and is set for release on November 19. It's natural for people to wonder about the exact release details, and Rockstar has now confirmed them.
GTA 6 will unlock at midnight local time on November 19 in all regions, launching on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Given this, the United States appears to be one of the last major markets to get their hands on the game.
The game will unlock at midnight local time in each region, rather than simultaneously worldwide. This means users in New Zealand and Australia will be the first to experience it, while the United States will be one of the last major regions to gain access.
In short, GTA 6 will go live in New Zealand at midnight New Zealand time. Players in the United States will need to wait 16 hours before they can play GTA 6 in their region.
Given this, players in the United States will face a tough day as they watch the game go live for others while having to wait patiently. If you're worried about spoilers, you should be extra vigilant on that day.
Although GTA 6 unlocks on November 19, pre-loading for the 212GB digital version will begin on November 10, while pre-loading for physical copies sold by retailers will start on November 12.
