09 · FAQ
Questions, answered.
When exactly does GTA 6 unlock?
The release date is Thursday, November 19, 2026. Rockstar hasn't published a global unlock time, so the countdown runs to midnight in whichever timezone you pick above. Actual unlock may vary by region and platform.
When can I pre-load?
From November 12. Digital pre-orders can start downloading then, and the physical version — which contains a download code — goes on sale the same day so disc buyers can pre-load too.
What do I get for pre-ordering?
All pre-orders and purchases before November 20 include the Vintage Vice City Pack. Rockstar also lists a free month of GTA+ with digital pre-orders. Edition details are on rockstargames.com/VI.
Is there online multiplayer at launch?
Rockstar describes Grand Theft Auto VI as a single-player experience. Nothing about an online mode has been announced for launch.
Is there a PC version?
Not announced. The confirmed platforms are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Historically, Rockstar's PC versions have followed later.
Could it still be delayed?
It has moved twice already. Take-Two has repeatedly reaffirmed November 19, 2026 — and pre-load dates are set — so this looks locked. This page follows Rockstar's Newswire.
Is this an official Rockstar site?
No. gta6time.com is an independent fan project, not affiliated with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive, and it doesn't host any official assets.
