FAQ
Not officially confirmed by Rockstar, but storefront data points to a single global unlock around 5:00 AM UTC rather than separate regional midnights.
Probably not. The evidence points to one fixed global moment (5:00 AM UTC), meaning it lands at different local times depending on where you are — midnight in the US Eastern zone, but mid-morning in India.
Rockstar has kept most launch-day logistics unannounced so far, consistent with how tightly it's controlled other release information.
Most likely, since storefront unlocks for the same title on the same date are typically synchronized across platforms, though this isn't officially confirmed.
