GTA 6 release time in Ireland

Irish release day is November 19, 2026. Rockstar has not announced an unlock hour for November 19. This page updates when it does. Pre-load begins at local midnight on November 12, 2026, which in Ireland is 12:00 AM GMT (UTC+0).

Source boundary: Rockstar facts are marked official; store listings and third-party reports are labeled as such and are not Rockstar announcements. Not a mission walkthrough.

Confirmed now

  • Release date: November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
  • Pre-load begins at local midnight on November 12, 2026 (Rockstar Support).
  • Ireland moved back from Irish Standard Time (UTC+1) to GMT (UTC+0) on October 25, 2026, so both key dates are on GMT.
  • The Ireland PlayStation Store listing (en-ie) shows Thu, Nov 19, 12:00 AM GMT. That is store data, not a Rockstar announcement.

Still unknown

  • The unlock hour on November 19 in Ireland.
  • Whether Irish players unlock at a worldwide moment or at local midnight.

Irish clock facts

  • In November Ireland is on GMT (UTC+0). Irish Standard Time is the summer clock and had already ended on October 25, 2026.
  • The tables use the Ireland / Portugal group. The row is labeled Dublin (GMT); Portugal (UTC+0) is on the same November offset, not a second Irish clock.
  • A midnight pre-load in Ireland is Thu 12 Nov, 00:00 UTC, so the UTC column matches the Dublin clock.
  • London is on the same GMT offset in November. Paris is 1 hour ahead.
