GTA 6 Soundtrack: 34 Tracks, $125 Vinyl, November 19 Release

Rockstar Games and Atlantic Records announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album on September 17, 2026, a 34-track compilation set to release on November 19—the same day as the game's digital launch. The first six tracks became available immediately, featuring a diverse roster of artists: Yung Lean (with Future and Metro Boomin) on "That's It," Travis Scott on "RHYNO" (produced by Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo), PinkPantheress, Fred again.., CA7RIEL, Paco Amoroso, and Étienne de Crécy on "Sexy Magic," Morgan Wallen on "The Last Thing You Need," Rauw Alejandro on "Macacoa 2000," and Rolling Stones member Keith Richards on "Bright Lights, Big City."

The album will be available in multiple physical and digital formats. Standard offerings include a double-LP vinyl at $50 and a double-CD at $20. Atlantic Records exclusives include a $125 limited-edition liquid-filled vinyl with transparent magenta discs, a splatter-edition vinyl, and a jewel-case CD. Retail partners including Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Target, Urban Outfitters, and independent record stores will carry unique vinyl pressing designs and exclusive posters. The soundtrack will also launch on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, where fans can already pre-save the release.

Rockstar describes the 34 original compositions as brand-new tracks designed to capture the energy of Vice City and Leonida, the game's fictional setting. The music will integrate with evolved in-game radio stations and a dynamic score, continuing the Grand Theft Auto franchise's tradition of introducing new artists to a global audience. Historical data shows the impact: Spotify streams of Tom Petty's "Love is a Long Road" (featured in GTA 6's first trailer) jumped 36,979%, while tracks from the Netflix Extended Look saw comparable spikes, with Captain & Tennille's "But I Think It's a Dream" increasing from 70 weekly streams to 80,744, and Cliff Richard's "Devil Woman" surpassing one million streams.

The soundtrack announcement has revived debate over Rockstar's decision to release GTA 6 only digitally, with some fans pointing out what they describe as the "irony" of offering physical music formats while withholding a physical game disc. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick recently defended the digital-only approach, stating that discs "don't really make sense for the consumer" for GTA 6. Some artists have declined participation in GTA games; Martyn Ware of Heaven 17 publicly criticized Rockstar on social media for offering what he called a "pitiful" deal to license the band's 1983 track "Temptation." Pre-orders for the soundtrack are now open.
