GTA 6 reviewers may get copies before the November 19 launch

Rockstar is reportedly preparing to send GTA 6 copies to reviewers by the end of October.

Reviews are expected before the game’s November 19 release, but their exact publication date is not confirmed.

The game is due for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the early copies would give reviewers at least three weeks before launch.

Rockstar’s previous major releases, GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption II, had reviews published one day before launch, though that history does not confirm the plan for GTA 6.

Early review access could bring more attention to leaks, which have affected other games, but the lack of Xbox or PlayStation discs may lower the risk.

Reviews will give players critics’ views before release, a measure Take-Two’s CEO has said matters for Rockstar games.
