What time does GTA 6 come out in Canada?
PlayStation Store Canada lists the release at 05:00 UTC on Thursday, November 19, 2026. That is midnight Eastern. Rockstar’s support article says the game releases “midnight local time on November 19, 2026, in all regions” on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Canada has six time zones, and here the two readings split. If the Canadian store releases at one moment for the whole country, the West gets it on Wednesday evening. If every zone waits for its own midnight, everyone plays on the 19th. Rockstar, Sony and Microsoft have not said which one applies to Canada.
| Time zone | Cities | Offset on Nov 19 | If the store time applies (05:00 UTC) | If local midnight applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Newfoundland (NST) | St. John’s | UTC-3:30 | Nov 19, 1:30 a.m. | Nov 19, 12:00 a.m. |
| Atlantic (AST) | Halifax, Moncton, Charlottetown | UTC-4 | Nov 19, 1:00 a.m. | Nov 19, 12:00 a.m. |
| Eastern (EST) | Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal | UTC-5 | Nov 19, 12:00 a.m. | Nov 19, 12:00 a.m. |

| Xbox Cloud Gaming | Whole country | — | Nov 19, 1:00 a.m. ET (one global time) | — |
Store time from the PlayStation Store Canada listing, checked Nov 11, 2026. Offsets from the IANA time zone database for November 19, 2026: Canada is on standard time, Saskatchewan stays on CST all year and Yukon on UTC-7. Xbox Cloud time per Xbox Wire. Reviewed Nov 11, 2026.
In Ontario and Quebec both readings give the same answer: midnight. Out West, try at 9 p.m. in Vancouver or 10 p.m. in Calgary on Wednesday night, and wait for midnight if it is still locked. The schedule for every other country is in our GTA 6 release time guide.

Can you play it on PS4, Xbox One or PC?
GTA 6 runs natively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Xbox One owners in Canada can stream it with Xbox Cloud Gaming from 1 a.m. ET on November 19, as long as they buy the game and have Game Pass or purchased cloud time, per Xbox Wire.

Both Canadian store listings show ESRB Mature 17+, for blood and gore, intense violence, mature humor, nudity, strong language, strong sexual content and use of drugs and alcohol. The ESRB entry adds in-game purchases on PS5 and Xbox Series.
GTA 6 au Québec : prix et heure de sortie
GTA 6 coûte 109,99 $ (édition Standard) et 139,99 $ (édition Ultimate) sur le PlayStation Store et le Microsoft Store au Canada, avant taxes, selon les fiches consultées le 11 novembre 2026. Avec la TPS (5 %) et la TVQ (9,975 %), l’édition Standard reviendrait à 126,46 $ et l’Ultimate à 160,95 $.

Le jeu se débloque le jeudi 19 novembre 2026 à minuit, heure de l’Est, à Montréal comme à Québec. Le PlayStation Store Canada affiche 05 h 00 UTC, ce qui tombe pile à minuit HNE. Les menus et les sous-titres sont offerts en français, mais les voix sont en anglais seulement : il n’y a pas de doublage français.

Scam warning
There is no GTA 6 beta, PC download or early access. Cheap "shared accounts" and keys from unofficial sellers can get your PSN or Xbox account locked.
Disclosure: gta6.ar also sells this kind of account in its shop. The risks described here apply to our offer too.
