Release time
What the unlock reads on your clock
One instant. 68 countries. Two different weekdays.
Grand Theft Auto VI unlocks everywhere at once, . Nobody plays a second earlier than anybody else. All that changes is what your own clock says when it happens: Mexico gets it at 23:00 on Wednesday, New Zealand at 18:00 on Thursday, and both are the same moment.
68 countries, 23 pages
Countries on the same UTC offset unlock at the identical local time, so they share a page rather than each getting a near-copy of it. Every country's own time is below.

No country by that name here. We publish a page per distinct unlock time rather than one per country, so try a neighbour on the same clock — or check the full list above.
Questions
Does GTA 6 release earlier in some countries?
No. There is one global unlock and every platform releases it at the same instant. What differs is the clock: the same moment is late evening on Wednesday in Los Angeles and mid-afternoon on Thursday in Sydney.
Why does my country show a different date?
The global unlock is Thursday, 19 November 2026 at 05:00 UTC. Countries far enough west of UTC are still on the previous calendar day at that instant — 1 of the 68 countries listed here are.
Why doesn't every country have its own page?
Because most would say the same thing. Countries sharing a UTC offset unlock at an identical local time, so they share a page rather than each getting a near-identical one. Every country is in the table below with its own time, linking to the page that answers for it.
