How PS5 players can access GTA 6 early using a New Zealand PSN account

PS5 users can play GTA 6 early by using a New Zealand PlayStation Network (PSN) account when the game launches at midnight in New Zealand on November 19, 2025. The method takes advantage of staggered global unlocks tied to local midnight release windows.

Rockstar’s blockbuster title, GTA 6, is scheduled for release on November 19, 2025, and many PS5 owners are looking for ways to reach the game before their local launch times. Because many digital games unlock at midnight local time, regions that are ahead in time zones receive access before areas further west. New Zealand is one of the early regions to see digital releases, which can translate into several hours of gameplay for players elsewhere.

Depending on your location, this method may provide early access of up to 18 hours in North America and approx. 10 to 14 hours in many parts of Europe. The exact advance varies by each player’s time zone relative to New Zealand.

Yes. Some players use a New Zealand PSN account to access the game once it launches at midnight in New Zealand. No. After downloading the game and enabling Console Sharing and Offline Play, you can switch back to your primary PS5 profile to play.

If you are not using this trick and want to play GTA 6 at your normal launch time, make sure you avoid social media and YouTube. Others will definitely use the method and will start spoiling stuff on the internet.
