[[1]](https://www.vice.com/en/article/gta-6-edge-magazine-release-times-screenshots-details/) It could arrive around 10am UK time, which is 3am PT or 6am ET for North American fans. [[1]](https://www.vice.com/en/article/gta-6-edge-magazine-release-times-screenshots-details/) That time is only an estimate based on previous issues.

[[1]](https://www.vice.com/en/article/gta-6-edge-magazine-release-times-screenshots-details/) The digital issue could see a surge in traffic, which might make it hard for some readers to access it right away. [[1]](https://www.vice.com/en/article/gta-6-edge-magazine-release-times-screenshots-details/) That expectation is based on the GTA 6 Game Informer issue. [[1]](https://www.vice.com/en/article/gta-6-edge-magazine-release-times-screenshots-details/) ## How we got here GTA 6 is set to launch on November 19, 2026.
