Last verified Oct 7, 2026
GTA 6 launches on Thursday, November 19, 2026 Confirmed. The Australia PlayStation and Xbox store listing carries a release time of Nov 18, 13:00 UTC, which is 9:00 PM on Wednesday, November 18 (UTC+8) in Perth. That is midnight at UTC+11, not at Perth's own UTC+8, because the listing uses one time for the whole store country. Unconfirmed
This comes from the store pages' data, seen on 2026-10-07, not from a printed statement, and Rockstar has not published a timetable. Treat it as the best current evidence, and trust your own store's countdown over this page. Unconfirmed Perth is number 5 of 46 places on this site to reach the unlock.
