What time does GTA 6 unlock?

Store data suggests a midnight local-time unlock, the usual approach for digital pre-orders on PlayStation and Xbox. That means players in New Zealand get in first, followed by Australia, Asia, Europe and finally the Americas. Rockstar hasn’t posted official times, so treat this as likely but not final.
