PS Store lists a midnight-local release

The PlayStation Store lists Grand Theft Auto VI as releasing at 00:00 local time on November 19, 2026 in each of the thirteen markets we read; the United States listing is 00:00 Eastern, one nationwide instant rather than midnight in each US time zone.

Read from the store listing itself on 2026-08-19 by `npm run harvest -- --target ps-store`, which captures each market's release instant: 12 of 13 resolve to 00:00 local, and the US listing is 05:00 UTC, which is 00:00 Eastern. This is Sony stating when its own listing unlocks, not Rockstar announcing a launch hour — no-launch-unlock-time-announced therefore stands.
