Rockstar Games is treating music as a major part of the Grand Theft Auto VI launch. Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, created in partnership with Atlantic Records, will arrive on November 19, 2026—the same day as the game—with 34 original tracks intended to reflect the world of Vice City and Leonida. Six debut singles are already streaming.

The important caveat: this is an announced soundtrack album, not a complete public guide to GTA VI’s music. Rockstar has not yet identified the remaining 28 tracks, laid out the full radio-station roster, or detailed how the new songs will relate to the game’s dynamic score.

The six GTA VI album songs available now
Rockstar’s official album page lists these six tracks:
- “That’s It” — Yung Lean featuring Future and Metro Boomin
- “RHYNO” — Travis Scott
- “Sexy Magic” — CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.., and Etienne de Crécy
- “Last Thing You Need” — Morgan Wallen
- “Macacoa 2000” — Rauw Alejandro
- “Bright Lights, Big City” — Keith Richards
17
The lineup points to a deliberately broad mix of hip-hop, country, Latin and electronic-adjacent artists, although Rockstar describes the roster overall as “genre-defying” rather than assigning official genre labels to individual songs.

A production credit reported for “RHYNO” names Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, while the song list and artist credits otherwise match Rockstar’s official rollout.

Release date and where to listen
The full 34-song album is scheduled for November 19, 2026. It is available to pre-save through major digital music services, and the six singles can be streamed now through the official album hub. Apple Music’s pre-release listing also identifies the project as a 34-song soundtrack released by Atlantic Recording Corporation and Take-Two Interactive Software.

Spotify has promoted an official Grand Theft Auto VI playlist alongside the album pre-save, providing a direct route to the early tracks and Rockstar-linked music campaign.

CD, vinyl and retailer variants
Rockstar is offering physical editions as well as digital listening. Reporting based on the album storefront lists three core U.S. editions:
- CD: $19.98
- Standard vinyl: $49.98
- Limited-edition vinyl: $124.98
14
The limited vinyl edition has been described as transparent magenta records filled with blue liquid and accompanied by exclusive artwork.
12
Additional retailer-specific variants are expected at outlets including Blood Records, Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Urban Outfitters and independent record stores.
13 Availability is not uniform: reports of sellouts have varied by territory and storefront, so a sold-out listing in one region does not establish permanent worldwide unavailability.
36
One report says physical orders are scheduled to ship from November 20, one day after the digital album and game launch. Buyers should confirm the shipping estimate shown for their own territory and edition before ordering.

What Rockstar still has not confirmed
Only six of the album’s 34 songs have been named publicly, leaving 28 tracks undisclosed. More importantly, Rockstar has not confirmed:
- which album tracks will play on particular in-game radio stations;
- whether the radio selection will change after launch;
- the complete list of separately licensed radio music; or
- how the album intersects with GTA VI’s dynamic score.
17
That means claims that the game will include “hundreds” of additional licensed songs should be treated as speculation for now, not a Rockstar-confirmed total. The album’s 34 original tracks are a defined release; the game’s complete musical ecosystem has not been published.
Similarly, reports and fan discussion around cryptic pre-reveal teasers or Spotify billboards should be approached cautiously. The supplied evidence verifies Spotify’s official playlist and pre-save promotion, but does not provide a definitive primary record for the wording, placement or chronology of every alleged teaser.

Why the soundtrack rollout matters to GTA VI marketing
The album announcement follows Rockstar’s August 27 Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, a nearly half-hour preview built from in-game PlayStation 5 footage.
19
48 Billboard reported that songs used in that video received streaming increases after the preview reached roughly 19 million YouTube views.
48
One reported example was Bob Moses and Elderbrook’s “Inner Light,” which saw a 1,070% rise in global Spotify streams after appearing in the preview; the same report said playlist additions rose 4,155%.
46 Those results suggest Rockstar’s trailers and playlists are functioning as music-discovery channels as well as conventional game promotion.
For now, the album offers an early, curated sample of the sound Rockstar and Atlantic Records are building around Vice City and Leonida. The rest of the track list—and the answer to how deeply it is woven into the game itself—will have to wait for further official updates.
