GTA 6 launch-week guides
Last checked against Rockstar and store pages.
Short answers for launch week. Each guide opens with the answer, names the Rockstar or store page it comes from, and says what is not confirmed.
The guides
- GTA 6 release date and unlock time by country Thursday 19 November 2026, at midnight local time. In the UAE and Oman that is 12:00 am Gulf time, 8:00 pm UTC on Wednesday.
- GTA 6 file size and pre-load: 212 GB Pre-load is open. Rockstar says the pre-load file is up to 212 GB, so clear that much space on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S.

- GTA 6 online mode: what Rockstar has said Rockstar calls it a single player experience and has announced no online mode. GTA Online is still being updated.
- GTA 6 trailers: every official video and its date Rockstar’s official list: Trailer 1, Trailer 2, An Extended Look, the Launch Trailer and a 30 second pre-load video.
How these are checked
- Sources.
- Rockstar's own posts and video pages, the PlayStation Store and Xbox pages, the PlayStation and Xbox blogs, and Take-Two's results release. Nothing from leaks.
- Dates.
- Every guide shows the day it was last checked and the date of each source. We check again after launch.
- Gaps.
- If we could not open a page, or a source gives only part of an answer, the guide says so and lists it as not confirmed.
