GTA 6 release date Canada — 19 November 2026

Canada is not “the US listing with a maple leaf.” Microsoft’s Canadian store printed its own stickers: Standard CAD $109.99, Ultimate CAD $139.99, upgrade add-on CAD $30.00. We fetched those on the Xbox Canada page. We did not invent them from an exchange-rate widget.

The primary date is still the US sheet: 19 November 2026 ET. Local notes below are geography, not a second publisher date. Desk pass: 6 September 2026. Extended Look already aired 27 August. The index is release dates. US primary: release-date-us. Calendar: calendar. GTA6 NOW is independent. We are not affiliated with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. We do not take a cut.

Six clocks, including a half-hour

November is standard time. Toronto and Montreal sit on Eastern (UTC−5). Winnipeg on Central. Calgary and Edmonton on Mountain. Vancouver on Pacific. Halifax on Atlantic (UTC−4). St. John’s, Newfoundland, is UTC−3:30. Rockstar printed the date, not a row for Signal Hill.

Arithmetic, labeled as arithmetic: 19 November 00:00 ET would already be 01:30 NST. That is not a Rockstar unlock. Do not write “00:01 in every province.”

Pre-load on 12 November is local midnight — Support’s wording. A Vancouver download at 00:00 PT is 04:30 in St. John’s. You still wait until the 19th to play. Pre-load checklist.

Where Canadians actually click

Take-Two named PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Games Store, and global retailers. The Canadian URLs that exist:

• Xbox Canada (en-CA) — CAD prices above. ESRB Rating Pending Likely Mature 17+ on the listing we fetched.
• PlayStation Canada (en-ca) — FAQ still says 19 November 2026. A pound or euro figure is not on that page. A CAD figure was not printed on the marketing page this pass.
• rockstargames.com/VI

Best Buy, Walmart Canada, and EB Games / GameStop Canada typically list a Rockstar launch. We do not have an official retailer SKU page in this pass and will not invent one. PlayStation also ships a French-Canadian storefront path. We are not pasting a converted price into it.

ESRB north of the border

Canada uses the ESRB for these consoles. Take-Two still says not yet rated. The Xbox Canada listing we fetched carries the same pending line as the US store: Rating Pending Likely Mature 17+, and “Visit ESRB.org.” Grand Theft Auto V was ESRB M. That is V. We will not write “it’s M” for VI. The long card is ratings.

PEGI is not the Canadian board. A UK screenshot is not your certificate.

Extended Look from Toronto

27 August 2026 — already aired. Netflix 3:00 p.m. ET was 3:00 p.m. in Toronto and 12:00 p.m. in Vancouver. YouTube and the VI site at 9:00 p.m. ET was 9:00 p.m. in Toronto and 6:00 p.m. in Vancouver. August was still daylight time. The rest of the map is on the Extended Look hub.

What Canadians ask on r/GTA6

The Canadian version of the price fight: why is Standard CAD $109.99 when the US sheet says US$79.99. Because Microsoft printed a Canadian sticker. It is not this desk converting dollars. If the listing moves, the store moves. We will not invent a “fair” CAD number.

PC is not on the launch list here either. No date. No Canadian PC SKU. Platforms. Confirmed: confirmed. FAQ: faq. Calendar: calendar.

Canadian stickers we fetched

Two columns. Two documents. We did not convert one into the other.

Hard stop — Canada

No invented Newfoundland launch hour. No invented “fair” CAD conversion. No claim every province unlocks at 00:01 ET. Local midnight is Support’s pre-load wording on the 12th. US ET primary stays on the US page.
