GTA Boom reported on October 26 that insider NateTheHate said on X that Rockstar has begun sending GTA 6 review code to media outlets, and repeated the claim that the review embargo lifts on November 18, one day before launch.
This lines up with the earlier embargo leak but is still a single-source claim. No outlet has publicly said it received a code, and Rockstar and Take-Two have confirmed only the November 19 release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Why it matters: if accurate, reviews would land one day before launch, giving pre-order buyers a short window before the November 20 Vice City Pack bonus deadline. Treat the timing as unverified until a reviewing outlet or Rockstar confirms it.
