GTA 6 Countdown: Live Timer & Free Widgets
Quick answer
A countdown that's never wrong: this timer targets the official release date, 19 November 2026, and updates every second. The best part: with the configurator below you can embed it anywhere in under a minute — as an iframe on your website, as a transparent browser source in OBS for your stream, or as a self-updating image in forum signatures. Free, no tracking, no sign-up.
Free to use — please keep the attribution link, it's the only condition.
How the countdown works
It counts down to midnight Eastern Time on November 19, 2026 — the same target our homepage countdown uses. For context: Rockstar has only confirmed the date, not the unlock hour. Once official unlock times drop, we update every widget centrally — your embed keeps working untouched. Full details live in our US release time guide.
Embed it on your website
Pick a region, theme (dark or light) and accent color in the configurator above, copy the iframe code, paste it into your page — done. The widget loads zero external resources, sets no cookies, and tracks nobody; it's a single ~10 KB HTML file served from our server.
Below the iframe sits a small attribution line linking back to this page. Restyle it if you like — just keep it: it's the only condition for free use.
Countdown on stream: OBS & Streamlabs
Streamers get overlay mode: transparent background, glowing digits, three sizes. In OBS or Streamlabs, add a browser source with the URL from the “Stream (OBS)” tab — width 800, height 220, or 1000 × 280 for size L. Then drop the widget anywhere on your scene: a corner of your GTA marathon, your Just Chatting cam frame, wherever.
Why this beats a hand-built timer: it's never off by a minute, survives scene switches, and flips to “GTA 6 is out!” automatically on launch night. If you run it on stream, a vicehub-vi.com mention in a panel or description is appreciated — never required.
Forums, Discord & signatures
Where iframes and scripts are banned, use the image variant: our PNG URL renders a fresh image with the days remaining once per hour. The BBCode from the configurator links the image back to this page — perfect for forum signatures that stay current on their own. On Discord, just post the image URL.
Free — with exactly one condition
Every variant is free, ad-free, and needs no sign-up — personal or commercial. The single condition: keep the small attribution link to this page (for the image: the BBCode link). No ads behind it — it just lets people find the source and keeps us maintaining the widget through launch. Bigger productions (apps, TV, events): reach out via the address in the site notice.

FAQ
How many days until GTA 6?
The live timer up top shows it to the second: it counts down to November 19, 2026, midnight Eastern Time. We deliberately don't print a fixed number here — it would be stale by tomorrow.
What time does GTA 6 come out?
Rockstar hasn't announced it. Only the date — November 19, 2026 — is confirmed. The moment official unlock times drop, they'll be in our US release time guide, and every widget updates centrally.
Is the countdown widget really free?
Yes — every variant, commercial streams and sites included. The only condition is the small attribution link back to this page. No cookies, no tracking, no sign-up.
How do I add the countdown to OBS?
Open the “Stream (OBS)” tab in the configurator, copy the URL, and add it in OBS as a browser source (width 800, height 220). The background is transparent, so you can place it anywhere on your scene.
Which time zone does the countdown use?
With the region set to “US” it targets midnight Eastern Time. Germany (CET) and the UK (GMT) have their own variants — useful for international audiences.
What happens to the widget after launch?
It automatically switches to “GTA 6 is out!”. Nothing to update or remove — delete the embed afterwards or leave it up.
