GTA 6 Launch Night in Lahore — Playing From 4 PM
Grand Theft Auto VI is the first new GTA in over a decade, and it lands on Thursday 19 November 2026. At ARISE you can be playing it the afternoon before.
The two times that matter
The official worldwide release is Thursday 19 November 2026, on PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. There is no PC version at launch.
On PlayStation the exact moment it unlocks depends on the store region your account is registered to, and our consoles unlock in the earliest window there is: 4:00 PM PKT on Wednesday 18 November, subject to PlayStation Store timing. That is the same afternoon rather than the middle of the night, and hours ahead of most regions.
If you want to know when your own account unlocks, every region is listed in Pakistan time in our release-time guide.
We do not close that night
From launch day ARISE stays open 24/7 for GTA 6, for at least two months. Any hour, day or night — there is no closing time to plan your evening around, and no queue forming before the doors open because the doors do not shut.
Everything else keeps the usual 12 PM to 2 AM.
Both rooms, both running it
There are two rooms here and one PlayStation 5 in each, and both run GTA 6 from the moment it unlocks. Every room has a door that shuts, its own screen, its own controllers and its own attached washroom.
That matters more on launch night than on an ordinary Tuesday. You are not playing the biggest release in a decade in a row of strangers, and nobody is standing behind your chair waiting for a turn.
What it costs
Our standard hourly rates, with no launch surcharge and no separate charge for the game:
| Slot | Regular | Right now |
|---|---|---|
| Solo — one controller | Rs390 an hour | |
| Duo — two controllers | Rs660 an hour | |
| Quad — four controllers, one station | Rs1,140 an hour |
You buy credit in rupees and your time is worked out from it at the rate for however many controllers you are using. We take every payment method except cards. The full pricing guide has the detail.
Pre-booking launch night
Two rooms is not a lot of rooms, and this is the one night of the year where that will be obvious. Message us on WhatsApp to register your interest and we will confirm your slot as launch week gets closer.
Turn up five minutes early. Your time starts when you sit down, not when you walk in.
If the time moves
Store timings can change before launch, and GTA 6 has been delayed before. If anything moves we will update this page and post on Instagram the same day — we would rather tell you than have you arrive to a countdown that has not finished.
