Rockstar Games and Atlantic Records have announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, a collection of 34 original tracks released on November 19, 2026 — the same day as the game. Six singles are streaming now, and the record is on pre-order on vinyl and CD.

The announcement was made on September 17, 2026. This report is backfill: it should have been on the site two weeks ago and was missed, so treat the date above as when we covered it, not when it happened. Nothing in the announcement has changed since.

The six singles

Every outlet that covered the announcement lists the same six tracks, all available now:

Artist Track
Yung Lean feat. Future & Metro Boomin That’s It
Travis Scott RHYNO
CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. & Etienne de Crécy Sexy Magic
Morgan Wallen Last Thing You Need
Rauw Alejandro Macacoa 2000
Keith Richards Bright Lights, Big City

“RHYNO” is credited as produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, formerly of Daft Punk. The other 28 tracks and their artists have not been named.

The spread is the point. Swedish cloud rap, Atlanta trap, Argentine and Puerto Rican pop, Nashville country, UK dance and a Rolling Stone is roughly what a modern Florida radio dial sounds like, and it is the first official indication of the musical range Rockstar is aiming for in Leonida.

Formats and prices

Three physical editions are on pre-order, with further retailer-exclusive pressings reported by Digital Music News.

Edition US price UK price
CD (jewel case) $19.98 £10.99
Splatter vinyl $49.98 £44.99
Limited liquid-filled vinyl $124.98 £108.99

US prices are as reported by NBC; UK prices are from Music Ally, which also noted the limited vinyl’s pre-order allocation had already sold out there. None of the three is a version of the game, and none includes one — the game’s own line-up is unchanged and is laid out in the editions guide.

Why original music is a break with the series

Grand Theft Auto built its reputation on licensing. Vice City’s soundtrack was a curated 1980s jukebox, San Andreas did the same for the early 1990s, and GTA 5 followed with hundreds of existing songs across its stations. Original material has appeared before — GTA 5 had a commissioned score and a handful of exclusive tracks — but a 34-track album of new songs from headline artists, on a major label, sold as its own release on launch day, is a different scale of project. Music Ally called it an unexpected move for a franchise that has tended to license existing tracks rather than commission new ones.

It is also a second product. An album with its own pre-order, its own retail variants and its own chart eligibility extends the launch beyond the game, in the same way the DualSense controllers did for hardware. Take-Two’s chief executive said in August that the Netflix reveal was only one of the hors d’oeuvres in the marketing plan; this is plainly another.

What it does not confirm

This is where care is needed, because the announcement is easy to over-read.

Update, October 8, 2026: Rockstar has since named six radio stations, their hosts and on-demand podcasts (full report). The first point above described the position when the album was announced. The second still stands: Rockstar has not said whether album tracks play on those stations. Our radio and soundtrack page is now rated confirmed for the six stations named.

Update, October 18, 2026: The third point no longer holds for every trailer. The Launch Trailer released on October 15 is set to “Flower in a Hurricane” by Justice, featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, a new song that appears on this album. Rockstar also named Justice as composers of the game’s original score.

What to watch for

The album’s remaining track list is the obvious next beat, and a station reveal would normally follow or accompany it. Musicians appearing on the album also raised the question of whether any of them appear in the game itself. A credit on a record does not answer that, but Rockstar’s October 8 radio reveal did for one of them: Morgan Wallen voices a host on Back Country Radio. The celebrity cameos page tracks the rest.

The running list of what Rockstar has stated is in everything confirmed so far.

This page will be updated when Rockstar names the remaining tracks.
