North American GTA 6 fans will be among the last to play thanks to regional launch

North American GTA 6 fans face one of the longest waits to enter Vice City after PlayStation Store listings revealed a staggered worldwide rollout. GTA 6 is finally set to launch on November 19, 2026, but the digital PS5 version will not unlock simultaneously around the world. According to regional listings compiled by GTAVice.net, the game will roll out across 15 release windows spanning 19 hours, with New Zealand getting access first. New Zealand players can begin playing at midnight NZDT, or 11am UTC on November 18.
