Release date, preload date, and unlock time
These are three different questions. November 19 is the confirmed release date. November 12 is the confirmed digital preload date. The exact worldwide unlock hour is still unknown. Leonida Afterhours uses midnight Eastern Time for its clock and labels that time as an assumption until Rockstar publishes a regional unlock schedule.
