GTA 6 will unlock at staggered times worldwide, New Zealand gets a 19-hour head start
Rockstar's schedule ties the staggered unlocks to the 19 November launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S
Grand Theft Auto 6 will unlock at staggered times worldwide on 19 November for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and Rockstar's schedule gives New Zealand players about a 19-hour head start.
Rockstar provided a worldwide unlock timetable that shifts access by region rather than offering a single global moment. That means players in different time zones will be able to load the game at different local times on 19 November.
MP1st reports that Xbox owners can seemingly still use the old New Zealand trick to access the game early, the same approach players used around previous launches to reach earlier unlock windows.
The staggered unlocks follow publishing details that list 19 November as the game's release date on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
