GTA 6 Worldwide Release Times Revealed, And The US Gets It Almost Last

GTA 6 is one of the most-anticipated games ever, and it arrives on November 19. People naturally want to know when exactly that day it will be available to play, and now Rockstar has confirmed the details. The game will launch at midnight local time on November 19 "in all regions" across PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Given that, it seems the US will be among the last major markets to get it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpPpqZwUwl0 The regional release rollout means people in New Zealand and Australia will get in first and the US will be among the final major regions to get started. In short, GTA 6 will become available to play in New Zealand at midnight in the country, which works out to 5 AM PT / 8 AM ET on November 18. People in the US will then have to wait 16 hours to play GTA 6 where they live. Given this, people in the US will be in for a tough day as they see the game go live for other people and have to wait. If you're concerned about spoilers, that's another reason to be on guard that day. While GTA 6 unlocks on November 19, preloading for the 212GB game begins on November 10 for digital copies and November 12 for the code-in-a-box versions sold at retailers. According to SensorTower , GTA 6 has already sold close to 7 million copies via preorders, and that number could climb to 25 million by launch . That would work out to more than $2 billion in revenue , which is reportedly enough to pay for the game's development budget.
