GTA 6 Goes Live at Midnight Local Time on 19th November

Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 will become playable at midnight on 19th November in each local time zone. Players who have preloaded the game from the PlayStation Store will have it unlock at that moment and can begin playing immediately.

The game will first become available in New Zealand due to its time zone, then roll out worldwide as each region reaches midnight. Some players create New Zealand PSN accounts to access the game earlier, though save data from such accounts cannot be transferred to a regular profile.

GTA 6 requires a 212GB download on PS5, one of the largest installs on console. The game is available only in digital format; even physical copies sold in stores contain a download code rather than a disc. Rockstar is offering Standard and Ultimate digital editions.

A physical map of the GTA 6 game world will be sold separately on the official Rockstar store for $0.99, or included for free with other purchases from that storefront.
