Comments

Fathom Mantis: they're still letting xbox players use that netherlands/new zealand loophole, huh? wonder how long before rockstar notices again
Arlo: seems weird they're letting people exploit regions this long after
Hollow Oracle: yeah I'm not gonna lie, NZ unlock times always seemed like some loophole to me, but I guess it's not going away anytime soon
Milan: NZ trick again? Still got some people trying that. Not sure why Rockstar doesn't just give us a unified release time for all regions
🌸 Manon Larsen: the whole NZ thing is so 2021, can't believe they're just leaving it on the table like that
Iron Cipher: NZ method's back, but we all know how long it'll take for rocksofamerica to notice 😉
Mirage Talon: still don't get why Rockstar can't be more upfront about this - we know it's not the same everywhere
Arlo: UK's 2am drop is basically just for show if you've got the right servers set up anyway. Guess the real delay is who can get the servers to cooperate
Obsidian Pulse: seriously though who comes up with these international unlock times anyway?
Adam: this seems to be another one of those regional unlocks, anyone have info on which countries are exempt from this "release window"?
Elin: not exactly sure why they're even bringing this up again now, been an old trick for ages
