GTA 6 in Canada: release date, price and pre-order

GTA 6 Canada pre-order at a glance

What the local-midnight estimate means in Canada

If the storefronts use a local-midnight release model, the planning estimate for Canada is Thursday, November 19, 2026 at 12:00 am EST, the first minute of November 19, 2026 in Eastern Time (ET); Canada spans ET to PT. That is the same clock time as New York (where it reads Thu, Nov 19, 12:00 am local time), 5 hours behind London (where it reads Thu, Nov 19, 5:00 am local time) and 3 hours ahead of Los Angeles (where it reads Wed, Nov 18, 9:00 pm local time).

Rockstar has not confirmed that estimate. If it sets a single global unlock or publishes a different storefront schedule, we will replace the estimate with the precise Eastern Time (ET); Canada spans ET to PT time. The timer above counts to the release date, not an official unlock hour. Compare every market on the unlock-time page.

Pre-order GTA 6 in Canada

Pre-orders are open now in Canada on PlayStation Store, Xbox, Amazon, Best Buy and EB Games.

How much GTA 6 costs in Canada

At CA$109.99 Standard and CA$139.99 Ultimate, the Canada price is closely in line with the US $79.99 Standard price once converted. That approximate US figure is about $80 at a reference exchange rate, for relative comparison only, not a checkout amount; the actual CAD total is what the local store charges. The US anchor is the one fully confirmed price: $79.99 Standard and $99.99 Ultimate.

Best way to play GTA 6 in Canada on a budget

Canada has an officially confirmed GTA 6 price, CA$109.99 Standard and CA$139.99 Ultimate, so the only open question is which console to pair it with. The Xbox Series S is the budget entry; the PS5 or Series X is the premium pick. EB Games, Best Buy and Amazon are the go-to retailers, and a 4K 120Hz (HDMI 2.1) TV rounds out the setup.
