GTA 6 unlock times: New Zealand goes first, the US unlocks at 9pm PT
🟡 Reported
Short version: New Zealand should unlock first, around 11:00 UTC on November 18. The Americas unlock together at 12:00am ET on November 19, which is 9:00pm PT on November 18. Most of Europe, Asia and Oceania unlock at local midnight on November 19.
These times come from PlayStation Store timestamps reported by MP1st. Rockstar has not published an official unlock schedule. Xbox could differ.
Why the US West Coast gets it “early”
PlayStation groups North and South America into one store region. That region unlocks at midnight Eastern time, so players in Los Angeles get the game at 9pm on November 18, while players in São Paulo get it at 2am on November 19.
