GTA 6 release date Germany — 19 November 2026

Germany does not get a special Rockstar date. It gets a special ratings office. The Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle has not certified Grand Theft Auto VI. Take-Two’s June sheet still says not yet rated. Anyone pasting “USK 18” onto this box is reading Grand Theft Auto V.

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.

MEZ in November, and a footer that says the 18th

Germany is on MEZ (CET, UTC+1) in November. MESZ ends on 25 October 2026. “19 November” is a Thursday in Berlin. Rockstar did not print 00:01 Uhr.

PlayStation’s Germany games page FAQ says the title erscheint am 19. November 2026. The footer on that same page printed Veröffentlichung: 18.11.2026. Same split we saw on the Australian page. We are not resolving Sony’s footer against Newswire. The publisher date is the 19th.

Pre-load: 12 November 2026, local midnight. In Germany that is 00:00 MEZ on the 12th. A download date. Pre-load checklist.

Xbox Germany printed euros. PlayStation’s FAQ still recites PEGI for V

Microsoft’s Xbox Germany listing printed 79,99 € Standard, 99,99 € Ultimate, and 20,00 € for the upgrade — xbox.com/de-DE this pass. Take-Two’s dollar sheet is a different document.

PlayStation Germany — playstation.com/de-de — did not print a euro price on the marketing page this pass. Its FAQ answers the age question with the same Support sentence the US page uses: ratings for VI unconfirmed, GTA V was ESRB M and PEGI 18. It does not mention USK. That is Sony’s FAQ, not the German board.

MediaMarkt, Saturn, and Amazon.de typically list a Rockstar launch. We do not have an official retailer SKU this pass. Start at rockstargames.com/VI.

USK is the desk that matters in this country

USK rates games for Germany. Grand Theft Auto V was USK 18. Older GTA cuts in this market are history, not a VI file. We will not write “they’ll cut it again” as fact. We will not write “it’s USK 18” for VI. We did not find a usk.de certificate page for Grand Theft Auto VI this pass. The independent rating card is ratings.

Extended Look from Berlin

27 August 2026 — already aired. Still MESZ (CEST, UTC+2) that day. Netflix at 3:00 p.m. ET was 9:00 p.m. in Berlin. YouTube and the VI site at 9:00 p.m. ET was 3:00 a.m. on Friday the 28th. One city. The grid is on the Extended Look hub.

What German threads ask

r/GTA6’s Germany beat is Jugendschutz: will USK force a cut, and is there a disc. The box is a download code. Official. A USK decision does not exist yet. A cut from San Andreas or from an older V SKU is not a VI patch note. Confirmed: confirmed. FAQ: faq. Platforms: platforms. Calendar: calendar.

German desks, this pass

Hard stop — Germany

No invented USK 18 for VI. No invented USK cut list. No MediaMarkt midnight hour as Newswire. Local midnight is Support’s pre-load wording on the 12th. US ET primary stays on the US page.
