Rockstar Games has officially announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, the upcoming official soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto VI. The album will contain 34 original tracks and is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, alongside the release of the highly anticipated video game.
The soundtrack has been created by Rockstar Games in partnership with Atlantic Records. According to Rockstar, the 34 original tracks are designed to capture the atmosphere and energy of the fictional world of Vice City and Leonida, the setting of GTA VI. The album will feature artists from a range of musical styles, reflecting the broad approach to music that has been associated with the Grand Theft Auto series.
Rockstar has already released six singles from the upcoming album. These tracks are currently available through major music streaming services, giving fans an early opportunity to hear part of the soundtrack before the complete album arrives.
The six released songs include Yung Lean’s That’s It featuring Future and Metro Boomin, Travis Scott’s RHYNO, Sexy Magic by CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso featuring PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy, Morgan Wallen’s Last Thing You Need, Rauw Alejandro’s Macacoa 2000 and Keith Richards’ Bright Lights, Big City.
Travis Scott’s contribution has received particular attention. His track RHYNO is produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, one half of the electronic music duo Daft Punk. The collaboration adds another notable name to the music lineup associated with GTA VI.
The inclusion of Keith Richards also connects the new soundtrack with one of rock music’s best-known guitarists. His song Bright Lights, Big City is among the six tracks released as an introduction to the full album. Morgan Wallen contributes Last Thing You Need, while Rauw Alejandro appears with Macacoa 2000.
The soundtrack continues Rockstar’s long association between the Grand Theft Auto franchise and music. Music has historically played an important role in the series, with in-game radio stations providing players with songs from different genres while they explore the game's open-world environments.
For GTA VI, Rockstar has indicated that the music experience will extend beyond the 34-track album. The company said more information about the game’s music, including its dynamic score and what it calls the next evolution of in-game radio, will be revealed later.
The distinction between the official album and the game's in-game radio is important. The 34-track album consists of original tracks created for GTA VI, while the broader radio experience is expected to form another part of the game's musical environment. Rockstar has not yet disclosed all details about the complete radio lineup.
The full album will be released digitally on November 19, the same day Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch. Rockstar has made the album available for pre-save through major streaming services. The six singles already released can be streamed ahead of the full album release.
Physical versions of Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album will also be available. Rockstar and Atlantic Records have confirmed CD and vinyl editions. Several special versions are planned, including a limited-edition liquid-filled vinyl, a splatter-edition vinyl and a CD jewel-case edition available through the official album store.
Rockstar has also confirmed that different retailers will carry exclusive vinyl disc colourways. These include retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Walmart, Target and Urban Outfitters, along with independent retailers. Availability and specific editions can vary by market and retailer.
The standard physical releases are expected to give collectors multiple options. Reports indicate that the CD and standard vinyl editions will be accompanied by special artwork and packaging inspired by the visual identity of GTA VI. A limited liquid-filled vinyl edition is also being marketed as a collector-focused release.
The announcement provides another major promotional development for GTA VI as Rockstar moves closer to its November release date. The game has been in development for several years and has generated significant attention from the gaming community. The soundtrack announcement adds a separate music component to the wider marketing campaign.
The GTA franchise has previously used music as an important part of its identity. Players have encountered radio stations covering multiple genres while driving through the game's fictional cities. GTA VI's soundtrack strategy appears to expand that relationship by creating an official collection of original songs specifically connected with the game's world.
The six singles provide an early indication of the range of music planned for the album. Hip-hop, pop, electronic music, Latin music, country and rock influences are represented among the first releases. This broad mix is consistent with Rockstar's description of the album as featuring a genre-diverse group of artists.
The first six tracks also give fans an opportunity to listen to part of the album before the game's release. However, Rockstar has not yet revealed all 34 tracks in the complete album. The remaining songs are expected to be unveiled as the November 19 release date approaches.
For music fans, the album will be available independently of the game through digital music services. This means listeners will be able to stream the soundtrack without necessarily playing GTA VI. Physical versions will provide additional options for collectors interested in CDs and vinyl records.
For gamers, the soundtrack is expected to complement the fictional setting of Vice City and Leonida. Rockstar says the original tracks are intended to capture the energy of the game's world. The company has not yet provided a complete explanation of how every album track will be integrated into the game.
Another area that remains to be detailed is the dynamic score. Rockstar has said more information about the game's score and the next evolution of its in-game radio will be announced later. This suggests that the 34-track album represents only one part of the broader music experience planned for GTA VI.
Grand Theft Auto VI itself is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026. The album is being released on the same date, creating a simultaneous launch for the game and its official soundtrack.
The album announcement also confirms Rockstar's continued focus on music as part of the Grand Theft Auto brand. With established artists such as Travis Scott, Keith Richards, Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro and others already associated with the project, the soundtrack is being positioned as a standalone music release as well as a component of the game.
At present, fans can listen to the six released singles and pre-save the full album on supported music platforms. Physical editions are also available for pre-order, although specific availability and pricing can differ depending on the retailer and region.
Rockstar is expected to reveal additional information about GTA VI's music in the coming weeks. The company has already confirmed that more details about the dynamic score and updated in-game radio experience are forthcoming.
The November 19 release date will therefore be significant for both GTA VI and its official soundtrack. When the game launches, players will have access to the complete 34-track album along with the game's wider audio and radio features. Until then, the six released singles provide the first official preview of the musical direction Rockstar has chosen for its next major Grand Theft Auto title.
