GTA 6 Countdown

GTA 6 dates in Australia

Every confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI date, converted to local time in Australia. Daylight saving is resolved per date, so the August rows and the November rows can sit on different offsets.

Australia is the hardest case on this site: five zones, half-hour offsets in South Australia and the Northern Territory, and daylight saving observed in some states but not others. The eastern states moved to AEDT on October 4, so the November rows run an hour ahead of the August ones.

Watch the Extended Look

Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look — It is free on the Rockstar Games YouTube channel and on rockstargames.com. YouTube age-restricts it, so it plays there rather than inside other sites.

Netflix subscribers can also watch it there.
