FAQ
GTA 6 trailer questions
Do I need Netflix to watch the GTA 6 Extended Look?
No. Netflix subscribers can watch it six hours early, from 3 p.m. ET on August 27, 2026. It then goes free on the Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the Grand Theft Auto VI website at 9 p.m. ET the same day. Waiting costs nothing.
What time is the GTA 6 trailer in my country?
The Netflix premiere is 3 p.m. ET and the free YouTube release is 9 p.m. ET, both on August 27, 2026. In time zones from roughly UTC+6 eastward, the YouTube release lands on August 28 local time. Use the time zone table on this page for your exact local time.
When does GTA 6 come out?
November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar has not announced a release time, so any countdown showing hours and minutes to launch is guessing.
Is GTA 6 coming to PC?
No PC version has been announced. Rockstar has confirmed PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Any specific PC date currently circulating is speculation.
When can I pre-load GTA 6?
Pre-loading opens on November 12, 2026 at midnight local time, one week before launch. This matters even if you buy a physical copy, because the box contains a download code rather than a playable disc.
How do I get the Vintage Vice City Pack?
It comes with any pre-order, and with any purchase made before November 20, 2026. It applies to both the standard and Ultimate editions, digital or physical.
Is this an official Rockstar site?
No. This is an unofficial fan-made countdown with no affiliation to Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive or Netflix. Every date on it is sourced from those companies’ own announcements, which are linked in the footer.
