GTA 6 release time in Perth
Perth 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 Perth is 12:00 AM AWST (UTC+8). Western Australia has no daylight saving, so Perth stays 3 hours behind Sydney in November. The Australia PlayStation Store listing (en-au) shows Wed, Nov 18, 9:00 PM GMT+8, the evening of November 18 in Perth. That is store data, not a Rockstar announcement.
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.
