What the local-midnight estimate means in New Zealand
If the storefronts use a local-midnight release model, the planning estimate for New Zealand is Thursday, November 19, 2026 at 12:00 am GMT+13, the first minute of November 19, 2026 in New Zealand time (NZDT). That is 18 hours ahead of New York (where it reads Wed, Nov 18, 6:00 am local time), 13 hours ahead of London (where it reads Wed, Nov 18, 11:00 am local time) and 21 hours ahead of Los Angeles (where it reads Wed, Nov 18, 3:00 am 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 New Zealand time (NZDT) time. The timer above counts to the release date, not an official unlock hour. Compare every market on the unlock-time page.
