Grand Theft Auto VI releases on Thursday, November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Rockstar has not yet confirmed exact regional unlock times. Based on the studio's past launches, expect either a midnight local unlock or a single global go-live — we'll update this guide when official times are announced.

Remember that the Vintage Vice City Pack pre-order bonus is available to anyone who pre-orders before November 20, 2026.
