When does GTA 6 come out?

GTA 6 releases on Thursday, November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders have been open since June 25, 2026; preload starts November 12. Rockstar has not announced early access or a beta.

How many days until GTA 6 comes out?

The big number at the top counts calendar days until the release on Thursday, November 19, 2026, based on the date in US Eastern Time. The clock below it counts the exact time left until the unlock in the US PlayStation Store listing (12:00 AM ET on November 19; Rockstar has not confirmed this unlock time); its days figure shows only full days, which is why it is usually one lower.

What time does GTA 6 unlock?

Rockstar has only named the date, not a time. The US PlayStation Store listing gives Thursday, November 19, 2026, 12:00 AM ET (05:00 UTC). Converted, that is 9:00 PM PT on Wednesday, November 18. The UK listing gives November 19, 12:00 AM GMT. Each store region shows its own midnight; Rockstar has not confirmed these times. No time is known for Xbox.

The countdown at the top counts down to the US store time. It is a reference point, not a promise for every platform or region: the store listings point to midnight in each store region, but Rockstar has not confirmed this. You can play only once the download is complete, the game is installed and it has unlocked in your store. Whether the download starts on its own depends on your console settings.

The retail box contains a download code and goes on sale on November 12 so you can preload. More on preload, time zones and download time: Release time and preload.
