Rockstar Games has reportedly begun sending GTA 6 review codes to select media outlets, with reviews expected to go live on November 18, a day before launch.

Rockstar Games has reportedly begun sending Grand Theft Auto 6 review codes to select media outlets, with the first reviews expected to go live on November 18. This means reviews will be out a day before the game’s November 19 launch.

Review codes reportedly out

According to an Insider Gaming report, Rockstar started distributing review copies in late October, giving participating outlets roughly three to four weeks to play and assess the game before the embargo lifts.

A November 18 embargo would mean buyers could read early critical verdicts before pre-orders convert into launch-day downloads. However, Rockstar has not publicly announced either the review-code rollout or the embargo date, so the timeline should be treated as unconfirmed.
