What time does GTA 6 unlock in Brazil?
GTA 6 uses one Brazil store timestamp. In Brazil, that means 12:00 a.m. BRT on Thursday, November 19, 2026; 11:00 p.m. AMT on Wednesday, November 18, 2026; 10:00 p.m. ACT on Wednesday, November 18, 2026; 1:00 a.m. FNT on Thursday, November 19, 2026.
The Brazilian store uses one Brasília timestamp. Manaus, Rio Branco and Fernando de Noronha see different local clock times.
| Zone | Local unlock time |
|---|---|
| Brasília / São Paulo / Rio (BRT) | 12:00 a.m. BRT on Thursday, November 19, 2026 |
| Manaus (AMT) | 11:00 p.m. AMT on Wednesday, November 18, 2026 |
| Rio Branco (ACT) | 10:00 p.m. ACT on Wednesday, November 18, 2026 |
| Fernando de Noronha (FNT) | 1:00 a.m. FNT on Thursday, November 19, 2026 |
Why Brazil has more than one local unlock time
This store region uses one published timestamp across several time zones. The same instant lands on a different local clock in each zone: earlier on November 18 west of the anchor, later on November 19 east of it. A different account region will use that region's published instant instead.
GTA 6 preload times in Brazil
