UNOFFICIAL FAN COUNTDOWN
WELCOME TO VICE CITY
Grand Theft Auto 6 comes out on Thursday 19 November 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The 3D countdown above counts down to midnight local time on launch day, which is when Rockstar Support says the game unlocks in every region. It ticks every second, in your own time zone, and it needs no account and no download. Tap Full screen background to watch the Vice City scene fill your screen, it changes scenes every twenty seconds, and the music button plays a quiet background track you can switch off any time. If your browser cannot run the 3D scene, a plain countdown shows in its place.
Counting down to midnight local time, Thursday 19 November 2026.

Which edition should you buy?
For most players, Standard. It is the full game, and you can buy the $20 Ultimate Edition Upgrade later for the same total: $79.99 plus $20.00 is $99.99, so waiting costs nothing. Buy Ultimate only if you want the extra cars, weapons, outfits and in-game businesses on day one. The Ultimate Edition adds no story missions and no extra areas.

- Prices are the same on PlayStation and Xbox in 19 of the 22 countries. The exceptions are Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which are listed per store above.
- UAE: the Xbox Store listing is in US dollars ($79.99 / $99.99); the dirham figures above are the PlayStation Store prices.
- Mexico: the PlayStation Store price is the Xbox price minus Mexico's 16% VAT.
- Pakistan has no official price: there is no Pakistan storefront on either store. The rupee figures in the next table are the US list prices converted at the live rate, not store prices in Pakistan.
Price in Pakistani rupees
The US list prices converted at the live dollar to rupee rate. The rate is fetched fresh from open.er-api.com each time you open this page.
| Edition | US price | Price in PKR |

| Ultimate Edition | $99.99 | Loading rate... |

Worked example: Ultimate costs $20 more than Standard. The rupee figure for that $20 gap appears here once the live rate loads.
These are the US list prices converted at the live rate, not store prices in Pakistan. Shops in Pakistan set their own prices, and import and tax can push them higher.
What platforms does GTA 6 work on?
| Platform | At launch on 19 November 2026 |
|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | Yes, native version |
| Xbox Series X|S | Yes, native version |
| PC | No, no PC version has been announced |
| PlayStation 4 | No native version |
| Xbox One | No native version. Stream it through Xbox Cloud Gaming from 1am ET on 19 November, at Xbox Series S graphics settings. The game must still be bought separately. |
- Unlock: midnight local time in every region, except the US PlayStation Store, which unlocks the whole country at 12:00 AM ET, 9:00 PM PT on 18 November.
- Pre-load: opened Tuesday 10 November 2026 for digital pre-orders (PS5 at midnight local time, Xbox at 00:00 GMT).
- Download size: Rockstar says the pre-load needs up to 212 GB of free space, depending on the device. That is a ceiling, not a per-console size, and Rockstar has published no per-console sizes. Reported figures only, not from Rockstar: Xbox about 225.34 GB in the store and about 209.9 GB on the console, PS5 about 209.75 GB to download and 212 GB installed.
- Boxed copies: a download code, not a disc, at retailers from 12 November.
- Frame rate: 30 frames per second target on both consoles. No performance mode has been announced.
- Editions: Standard is the full game. Ultimate adds a 16-item upgrade that you can also buy later for the edition gap, so buying Standard now and upgrading later costs the same total. Digital purchases before 20 November get the Vintage Vice City Pack and one month of GTA+ with either edition.

How the countdown works: the target is 19 November 2026 at 00:00 in your own time zone. The timer counts the exact gap in days, hours, minutes and seconds and updates once a second. After launch it switches to a short "out now" message. If you are in the United States, note the PlayStation Store exception above: the store unlocks the whole country at 12:00 AM Eastern, so West Coast players get in at 9:00 PM Pacific on 18 November.
What this page does not claim
It does not give a PC release date, because none has been announced. It does not give a per-console download size, because Rockstar has published only the "up to 212 GB" ceiling. It does not quote a Pakistani store price, because the rupee figures are the US prices converted at the live rate, and local shops set their own prices.
