Grand Theft Auto VI is all set to release on November 19 for eligible Sony and Xbox gaming consoles.

This claim adds weight to the information earlier shared by X user (@NateTheHate2). As per the report, the review copies were reportedly sent in October 2026. Sending the codes now and keeping the embargo timeline a day before launch hints that the GTA 6 maker is fine with the media opinion even if it goes live ahead of the much-anticipated release. This implies anyone with these codes can play GTA 6 exclusively for more than three weeks before a wider release.
