How launch nights usually go

Big online game launches tend to follow a similar pattern. In the last hours before unlock, pre-loads finish and players wait for the clock. At unlock, many people try to sign in at the same moment, so login, matchmaking and online services can slow down or fail for a while, and reports of problems jump. Platform networks such as PlayStation Network and Xbox network can also see extra load. Within hours, things usually settle as fixes roll out and the first rush passes. None of this is certain for GTA 6: these are general patterns, which is exactly why they make good predictions.

How we will score the calls

Each scored call says how we will check it. Most use gta6isdown's own Player Reports: every report is a single anonymous click with a service and a problem type, counted in 15-minute buckets, as described on how gta6isdown works. The rest use official public posts only, such as Rockstar's own status page, support channels or patch notes, and the official PlayStation and Xbox status pages. We never use rumours, leaks or anything we cannot check. If an answer cannot be checked honestly, that call is left unscored.

While you wait, get your setup ready with the launch checklist and see when the game unlocks where you live on the release time page.

Questions

Are these predictions real launch data?

No. Everything on this page is a guess by you and other visitors. Nothing here is an official number or a fact about GTA 6. After launch we fill in what actually happened from our own Player Reports and status data, or from official public posts, and only then does the page score your calls.

When can I change my picks?

Until 18 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. You can lock in early to get your card, and you can still change a pick until then. After that, picks are locked for everyone.

Where are my picks stored?

In this browser. To show "% of players picked this", each pick is also counted anonymously with a random id, the same way our launch polls count votes: no name, no account and nothing you type. The share link carries only your picks, as digits.

When do I get my score?

On launch night, once the first answers can be checked. Until then the page says so and shows no score. Calls marked "just for fun" are never scored.

Is this affiliated with Rockstar Games?

No. gta6isdown is an unofficial fan site. The prediction card is our own original art with no Rockstar logos, art or official marks.
