- Pre-load begins at local midnight on November 12, 2026 (Rockstar Support).
- Mexico City stays on UTC-6 in June 2026 (UTC-6) and in November, so this page does not apply a daylight-saving change to the Mexico City row.
- The Mexico PlayStation Store listing (es-mx) shows Thu, Nov 19, 12:00 AM CST. That is store data, not a Rockstar announcement.
Still unknown
- The unlock hour on November 19 in Mexico City.
