Rockstar Games has confirmed the worldwide unlock times for Grand Theft Auto 6. According to reports, Xbox players appear to still have access to the New Zealand timezone exploit, which could potentially allow early access to the game before the official global release window.
The method exploits regional timezone differences to unlock games ahead of their standard release time in other regions. While Rockstar has not officially endorsed this workaround, the technique remains available on Xbox platforms.
This matters for players counting down to launch because it suggests some Xbox users may be able to experience GTA 6 before others, depending on their willingness to use regional tricks and Rockstar’s enforcement policies between now and release day.
