Grand Theft Auto 6 worldwide unlock times revealed, and Xbox owners can seemingly still use the old New Zealand trick to play early

Grand Theft Auto 6 arrives 19th November on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

The short version

• Depending on where you may be in the world, however, when you actually get to play varies.
• Starting with PS5, GTA 6 has 15 different regional launch times.
• If you pre-ordered a digital copy through the PlayStation Store, the game's unlock time will be dictated by your account's region and store.

What happened

In other words, it won't unlock for everyone at the same time. GTA fansite GTAVice.net rifled through PlayStation Store data to uncover the full list of launch times across its 15 regions.

Why it matters

The unlock times range between 11am UTC on 18th November at the earliest, to 6am UTC on 19th November - a 19-hour difference.
