Absence claim. The only official time reference on record is pre-orders opening at midnight local time on June 25, 2026 — a pre-order detail, not a launch-day statement. Re-verify on schedule. Note that a storefront now lists a release instant per market (ps-store-lists-midnight-local-release); a seller stating when its listing goes live is not Rockstar announcing an unlock hour, so this row stays unannounced.
