GTA VI Preorders: What Rockstar Has Confirmed, and What Is Still Open
Rockstar has confirmed GTA VI preorder timing, launch pricing, preload timing and the code-in-box physical release. Take-Two has confirmed neither announced edition has a paid early-access window. GTA VI unlocks at midnight local time per region on November 19, so New Zealand plays first and the Xbox region trick lines up with it; PC timing and unofficial discounts are still outside the official record.

NBA 2K27's GTA 6 Tease Points a Cross-Promotion Straight at November

Since 2K seasons run about six weeks, that spots a possible crossover right around GTA VI's November 19 release. Rockstar has not confirmed any of it directly.
