While you wait
Get your crew in place before launch night
A community on mssgs is a server of your own, free and without ads. Three things to set up this week:
Voice for every squad
A voice channel per squad. On the desktop, hold a key or a side mouse button to talk, with noise suppression that filters out your keyboard.
Game nights and matches
Plan an event and everyone answers Going, Maybe or Can’t. Pin the rules where everyone sees them.
Watch the VODs together
A watch party plays a video in sync for the whole channel, and anyone can clip the last seconds.

Questions about the release
When does GTA 6 come out?
On 19 November 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar Games moved the date twice: the game was first planned for 2025, then for 26 May 2026.
What time does GTA 6 unlock?
Rockstar Games has not announced an unlock time. This countdown runs to midnight at the start of release day in your own time zone; when your copy unlocks can differ per platform and region.
Is GTA 6 coming to PC?
Not at launch: Rockstar Games has announced GTA 6 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
Does it work when we play on a console?
Yes. Keep the call and the chat on your phone or computer while you play on PlayStation, Xbox or Switch. The overlay is for games you play on your computer.
Is mssgs free for a clan?
Yes. A community with text and voice channels, roles and invites costs nothing, and neither does the game overlay. Premium is optional: it raises the upload limit from 25 MB to 50 MB and messages from 2,000 to 5,000 characters, among other things.
