Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album will arrive on the same day as the long-awaited game – 19 November 2026. While the video game itself will be distributed digitally, the soundtrack will be offered both as a standard digital release on all major streaming platforms and as a series of collectible physical products. The digital bundle includes every one of the 34 original songs, allowing fans to enjoy the music on-the-go, whereas the tangible editions promise a more tactile experience for collectors.
Release schedule and digital availability
The album’s worldwide digital debut coincides precisely with the game’s launch, ensuring that players can immediately immerse themselves in the in-game radio experience while the story unfolds. All streaming services – from Spotify to Apple Music – will host the full track list, and a downloadable version will be accessible through Rockstar’s own storefront. This simultaneous release marks a shift for the series, which traditionally staggered soundtrack drops months after the game’s debut.
Star-studded tracklist preview
Rockstar has revealed six of the 34 brand-new songs, each featuring a blend of established icons and rising talent. The opening single, “That’s It” by Yung Lean, brings together Future and producer Metro Boomin promising a bass-heavy, lyrical showdown. Travis Scott contributes the atmospheric “RHYNO“, produced by Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo an unexpected partnership that hints at a synth-laden soundscape. A collaborative effort titled “Sexy Magic” unites CA7RIEL & Paco Amororo with PinkPantheressFred again.. and Étienne de Crécy. Country star Morgan Wallen delivers “Last Thing You Need“, while Latin-pop hitmaker Rauw Alejandro adds “Macacoa 2000“, and legendary rock guitarist Keith Richards caps the preview with “Bright Lights, Big City“. The remaining 28 tracks remain under wraps, but the already-announced lineup suggests a genre-defying compilation that mirrors the game’s eclectic world.
Collector-grade physical editions
Physical copies will be sold in several exclusive configurations, each targeting a different segment of the fan base. The most eye-catching offering is a double-vinyl set priced at $49.98, featuring two transparent magenta discs splattered with blue accents. A limited-run liquid-filled vinyl – essentially a record encased in a sealed fluid chamber – will be available exclusively through the official album website . Additionally, a splatter-edition vinyl and a traditional CD in a jewel case will ship alongside the digital version. Retail partners such as Blood Records, Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, Urban Outfitters and numerous independent record stores will each carry unique pressing designs and promotional posters, encouraging collectors to hunt for regional variants.
Pre-order details and future music plans
Pre-orders for all physical formats are open now via the album’s dedicated portal. Shipping for the vinyl bundles is slated for 20 November 2026 – a day after the game’s release – ensuring fans can spin the records while still fresh from the opening mission. The CD and digital versions will be delivered instantly on launch day. Rockstar has hinted that the in-game radio stations will expand beyond the album’s original songs, incorporating additional licensed tracks that will not appear on the standalone record. A deeper dive into the evolving score and the creative process behind the soundtrack is expected in upcoming developer diaries.
By offering both streaming access and high-end physical collectibles, the company caters to casual listeners and hardcore collectors alike, setting a new benchmark for video-game-related soundtracks.
