We’re now less than a week away from the release of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI.
After multiple delays, GTA VI has been available for pre-order since June 25, 2026. Pre-loading also began on November 10, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The early pre-loading period should help avoid server congestion, especially considering that the game requires at least 212GB of storage space.
According to Rockstar Games, GTA VI will unlock on November 19. But what time exactly? The developer says players will be able to access the game starting at exactly 12 midnight on November 19, based on their local time zone.
For players in the Philippines, this means Xbox users can start playing at exactly midnight. PS5 users, however, will depend on the region of their PlayStation Network (PSN) account. Those using a Hong Kong account should gain access at 12 midnight Philippine time, while players with an Indonesian account will have to wait until 1 AM.
