Xbox players may get early GTA 6 access due to release times
The countdown to Grand Theft Auto 6 is heating up, and the global community is finally getting the release schedule it has been waiting for. While speculation has run rampant, official times are starting to surface, and the geographical lottery seems to be playing out in fascinating ways.
It turns out that New Zealand is taking an early lead in the queue for the massive title. Various gaming outlets have been tracking the information, with sources like IGN and Digital Foundry reporting on the potential release dates and time windows.
The official PlayStation Store has begun listing these critical release times as of this evening, setting the stage for fans worldwide to start planning their console locations.
The reveal of these schedules seems to have started with GTAVice, which was among the first to compile a comprehensive list of the potential release times. The most exciting detail is the geographical advantage: GTA 6 appears to be launching first in New Zealand.
This means that New Zealanders will be able to jump into the action at midnight local time on November 19th. For those looking at global time, this translates to November 18th at 6am EST, or 11am GMT.
This early access provides a unique window for the nation’s players to prepare for the massive launch, offering them a head start before the rest of the world.
The game is set to arrive, and the global anticipation is only going to grow as players across the world prepare for the inevitable mayhem.
