What time does GTA 6 come out in New Zealand?

Rockstar has not published a first-party unlock hour for New Zealand. The calendar date is November 19, 2026. PlayStation Store listings compiled in early September 2026 point to midnight local. If Auckland unlocks at midnight local, it is among the first regions on the planet. That can be most of a day before US Pacific.

Is midnight local confirmed by Rockstar?

No first-party worldwide table exists. Regional PlayStation Store listings point to midnight local. Xbox has not published a matching public table. Store clocks can still change.
