YouTube is lining up a 24-hour livestream for the GTA 6 launch, starting on 18 November at 11pm ET (8pm PT, 04:00 UTC on 19 November), VGTimes reports. YouTube also posted on X on 12 November 2026, with the line: “the biggest launch of all time deserves the biggest livestream.”
The post links to the scheduled stream on YouTube’s own channel, called “Launch Day: YouTube’s 24 Hour GTAVI Live Stream”. Its description says it opens with a pre-show at 11pm ET. VGTimes says the stream will run in several languages, including English, Hindi, Spanish, Japanese, Indonesian and Arabic, and that the main stream is set for midnight ET on 19 November.
This is not a Rockstar announcement. Neither VGTimes nor the YouTube post says who appears on the stream or what it will show.
The start lands one hour before midnight ET on 19 November, the release date. Earlier that evening, the Miami HEAT turn into Vice City on ESPN at 7pm ET.
Set a reminder on the stream page, then check when GTA 6 unlocks in your time zone or how long is left until launch.
