Short answer

Confirmed

Not yet. GTA 6 unlocks at midnight local time on Thursday, November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. New Zealand goes first, at 3:00 AM PT on November 18. The U.S. PlayStation Store lists 12:00 AM ET on November 19. No PC version has been announced.

The detail

If you pre-loaded, the game starts as soon as your region unlocks. If you didn’t, you can buy and download it from then, like any other game.

Xbox One owners stream it through Xbox Cloud Gaming instead, which Xbox Wire says starts at 1:00 AM ET on November 19 for everyone.
