When GTA 6 unlocks in Canada
The Canada PlayStation Store listing shows the unlock at 05:00 UTC on November 19, which reads as Thursday, November 19, 2026 at 12:00 am EST, the first minute of November 19, 2026 in Eastern Time (ET). That moment is Thu, Nov 19, 12:00 am in New York, 5:00 am in London and Wed, Nov 18, 9:00 pm in Los Angeles.
The listing shows one moment for the whole country, so this is the same instant on the clock in your city:
| Vancouver | Wed, Nov 18, 10:00 pm |
|---|---|
| Edmonton and Regina | Wed, Nov 18, 11:00 pm |
| Winnipeg | Thu, Nov 19, 12:00 am |
| Toronto | Thu, Nov 19, 12:00 am |
| Halifax | Thu, Nov 19, 1:00 am |
| St. John’s | Thu, Nov 19, 1:30 am |
British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba did not turn their clocks back on November 1, so Vancouver shows 10:00 pm, not the 9:00 pm a table built on last year’s zones would give.
The Xbox Store catalog entry for this market records the same moment, though Microsoft’s public listing shows only the date. Your own store listing is the final word. The timer above counts to your store’s unlock. Compare every market on the unlock-time page.
