GTA 6 unlocks on 19 November 2026.

Is GTA 6 out tonight?

Only on launch eve. New Zealand gets it first, at midnight on 19 November (11:00 UTC on 18 November). Europe follows at 23:00 UTC, the UK at midnight, and the US and Canada at midnight Eastern. Full table: GTA 6 unlock time by region. Reported

Can you play it early?

No. Pre-loading from 12 November only downloads the game; it stays locked until launch. Some Xbox players change their console region to New Zealand, but this is not supported and can backfire. Details in our unlock time guide. Anyone selling "early access" is a scammer: GTA 6 scams.

Get ready

Pre-order before 20 November to get the bonus pack.
Follow the pre-load checklist so the game is ready at midnight.
Check the status board for anything that changes.
