How many days until GTA 6?

-- days. That is the whole-day count to the PlayStation Store unlock on November 19, 2026 for your country (the moment its store listing shows; the US and Canada are one wave at midnight Eastern), and it drops by one at that moment each day.

How this countdown works

The countdown stops at the moment your country’s store listing shows, except in the US and Canada, which unlock together at midnight Eastern. The PlayStation Store listings unlock the game at midnight in each region, in waves, so the actual go-live moment depends on your store and region, and Rockstar has not published its own unlock table. Here are the confirmed dates worth marking before launch.
