GTA 6 release times have been discovered through the PS Store - and it's finally time to book that holiday to New Zealan

Rockstar Games’ release strategy for GTA 6 has come to light through PlayStation Store listings, which reveal staggered global launch times. The discovery shows that New Zealand will receive the game earliest, ahead of other regions worldwide. This tiered rollout approach means players in different parts of the globe will gain access at different moments rather than a simultaneous worldwide launch.

The PS Store listings have become an unexpected source of official release information, providing clarity on what fans can expect when the game becomes available. The reference to “booking a holiday to New Zealand” suggests that players elsewhere might need to wait longer than their counterparts in that region.

For players counting down to launch day, understanding these regional release windows helps set accurate expectations for when GTA 6 will actually be playable in their location.
