Unconfirmed: treat this as a rumor until Rockstar confirms it.
Amazon Canada's estimated delivery for physical PS5 copies of GTA 6 has moved from November 12 to November 16, according to GameGPU. Meanwhile, an Xbox Series X|S listing now shows February 28, 2027.
What changed on Amazon Canada
According to GameGPU, customers in southern Ontario placing new orders saw the estimated arrival for PlayStation 5 boxed copies shift from November 12 to November 16. The standard edition is listed at $109.96.
These boxes have no optical disc. The case contains only a digital activation code for downloading the game.
The Xbox date
The Amazon product page for Xbox Series X|S boxes lists Sunday, February 28, 2027, as the expected release and shipping date. GameGPU reports that players and analysts see this as a technical placeholder. Stores set such dates automatically when the allocated quota of boxes with pre-order codes runs out, or when the distribution chain for boxed versions is delayed.
Pre-orders are reportedly unaffected
Customers who pre-ordered physical copies say their original delivery schedules have not changed, according to GameGPU. The changes reportedly hit only newly created orders, which points to a localized shortage of packaging with download codes at retailer warehouses ahead of launch.
Rockstar Games and Amazon have not commented on the North American delivery schedule.
What it means for players
If you are buying a boxed copy, check the estimated date on your order before the November 19 launch. The reported shifts so far only affect new orders, so pre-order timing should be unchanged. Keep an eye on the Xbox listing: a February 2027 date would be a major gap, but GameGPU's reporting suggests it is a placeholder rather than a real shipping plan.
