A broadcast beginning the night before release
YouTube announced its GTA 6 partnership with Rockstar on November 12, led by a 24-hour global launch livestream. The main broadcast starts at midnight Eastern Time on November 19 on YouTube’s official channel. RDCWorld hosts a pre-show one hour earlier, at 11pm ET on November 18.
For viewers in China, those times are noon and 1pm on November 19 respectively. They are broadcast times, not a worldwide game-unlock schedule. Viewers can reach the programme through the official YouTube channel or the GTA-themed homepage logo.
Gameplay, podcasts and coverage from Miami
The programme combines live gameplay, creator podcasts and original segments. YouTube named Caylus, Zhong, Kat, Jelly, Rivers, Jake Baldino and Cinna among the participants. The marathon is due to finish with on-the-ground coverage from Miami, connecting the online audience with launch-week activity in the city. Entropico is the production partner.
The announcement provides the overall start, duration and part of the lineup, rather than individual time slots for every creator. Viewers looking for one participant should follow the official programme updates instead of treating the order of names as a running schedule.
Live gifts and a Vice City Shorts effect
YouTube is introducing five limited-edition game-themed Live gifts, including a Wanted Stars animation. Eligible viewers in selected creator streams can claim and send a promotional gift while supplies last. Availability depends on the participating stream and viewer eligibility.
The GTA 6: Visit Vice City Shorts effect supplies different backgrounds for launch-week videos. YouTube Music will also feature the official soundtrack and a wider GTA anthology playlist on its homepage, extending the partnership beyond the live broadcast.
The scale of GTA on the platform
YouTube says GTA-related content has accumulated more than 900 billion views across the series, with pre-release GTA 6 videos exceeding 40 billion. These are the platform’s content-view totals, covering many videos; they are not a single trailer’s audience or a count of individual players.
The partnership is a programme of broadcasts and creator features, rather than an announcement of a new game mode. The practical dates for viewers are the November 18 pre-show and November 19 main broadcast, while game access continues to depend on the release arrangements of each store.
