On Xbox, Rockstar promises a local-midnight launch, but no specific time is listed for Ukraine.
So don’t count on 00:00. Xbox times are set store by store and differ between countries. If Rockstar or Microsoft confirms a time for Ukraine, we’ll add it here.

The date moved twice: from autumn 2025 to 26 May 2026, then to 19 November 2026.
If the date changes, you’ll see it on the what changed page.
