YouTube's 24-Hour GTA 6 Launch Day Livestream: Time, 31 Creators, Language Streams

Watch the Stream

The English broadcast. Until the pre-show starts, the player shows the countdown; you can set a reminder on YouTube.

Start Times by Country

GTA VI comes out on November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The stream should run until about midnight ET on November 20, but YouTube hasn't published an end time or a schedule by segment. It says the marathon will close with live coverage from Miami, with creators and special guests on the ground.

Language Streams

The stream description links to seven separate broadcasts, matching the countries of the creators taking part:

• English
• Hindi
• Spanish
• Portuguese
• Arabic
• Indonesian
• Japanese

All 31 Creators

YouTube's blog names only a handful. The full lineup is on the creator cards YouTube posted on X, grouped below by the country flag on each card. The pre-show host, RDCWorld, is not on the cards.

The US has the biggest group with 11 creators, including Caylus, Zhong, Kinda Funny Games and Any Austin. India brings three of its biggest gaming channels: Total Gaming, Payal Gaming and Sharkshe. Most of the other countries have one or two creators, such as Windah Basudara for Indonesia and JuanSGuarnizo and Rivers for Mexico. YouTube says the format mixes live gameplay, creator podcasts and original content.

GTA VI Gifts, Shorts Effect and Music

• Five limited-edition GTA VI gifts on YouTube Live, including a Wanted Stars animation that appears on screen. Eligible viewers on select creator streams can claim one and send it for free while supplies last.
• "GTAVI: Visit Vice City" Shorts effect with several Vice City backgrounds for launch-week Shorts.
• YouTube Music puts the official GTA VI soundtrack, including Morgan Wallen's "Last Thing You Need", and a GTA series playlist on its homepage during launch week.
• Launch-week creator videos from Miami: tactical breakdowns, storytelling and behind-the-scenes access.

YouTube says the Grand Theft Auto series has passed 900 billion lifetime views on the platform, and videos about GTA VI had over 40 billion views before launch.

What It Means for Streamers

YouTube is running the biggest GTA VI broadcast on its own channel, so a large share of launch-night viewers will start on youtube.com/youtube rather than on individual creators' channels. If you are streaming GTA VI on November 19, the free gifts are the part that can help you. YouTube only says they work on "select creator live streams", so check the gift menu on your stream before going live. It is also YouTube's answer to Twitch and Kick: on Twitch, Kai Cenat is playing every GTA from III to V before launch, and Kick is giving away 10,000 copies of the game to viewers who watch for three hours.
