When Is GTA 6 Coming Out?

Our live countdown widget on the homepage ticks down to the second. Bookmark it — we push a launch-morning notification to anyone signed up for the free launch alert.
When does GTA 6 unlock in my time zone?
Rockstar historically unlocks at midnight local time, with a global pre-load 48 hours prior. Expect Nov 19 00:00 in your region for physical/digital play — Rockstar confirms exact hours ~30 days out.
Will GTA 6 release on PC the same day?
No. Consoles first. PC comes 12–18 months later based on Rockstar's history (GTA V, RDR2). Best PC estimate: late 2027 to mid-2028.
Could it get delayed again?
Unlikely at this point. Preorders are live, Take-Two's fiscal guidance is locked to the November window, and marketing has fully ramped. A third delay would be unprecedented for a modern Rockstar title once preorders open.
