Next step

Spoiler blockerWords to mute for GTA 6, ready to copy, with steps for X, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok and Discord. Three caution levels. Stay clean until you finish the story.

How to use it

Enter when you want to start, how long you want to play in one go, when you need to be up, and whether you work. The tool places your sleep and your work first, then fills the free time with sessions and breaks.

Game first or sleep first?

With Game first, your first session runs in full, even if it cuts into your first night, and the program warns you how short that night will be. With Sleep first, your sleep hours are kept, and the first session gets whatever time is left.

What time should I plan for?

Rockstar says midnight, local time, on 19 November, in every region, so the planner starts at midnight by default and you can pick a later start. If your plan depends on a precise time, keep it flexible. As soon as an official time is announced, this page uses it.

Pre-load first

If you have not pre-loaded yet, the program tells you the latest moment to start, using the download time you enter with a 20% margin. That time is saved automatically if you used the download calculator on this device.

Taking a day off?

Choose no work: the tool then fills the day. Your schedule stays on this device. The calendar file only contains the blocks you see, in your local time.

Questions and answers

Should I take a day off for GTA 6?
That is up to you. Try both options in the planner and compare the hours of play over 48 hours. The release is on a Thursday, so a day off on the Friday also gives you a long weekend.
What day of the week does GTA 6 come out?
Thursday 19 November 2026.
Can I add the schedule to my calendar?
Yes. The button downloads an .ics file with your sessions, sleep and work, which opens in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook.
Does the planner know the unlock time?
Yes. Rockstar says midnight, local time, on 19 November, in every region. The planner starts from there, and you can choose to begin later.
