Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album lands on 19 November, the same day GTA 6 launches, with 34 original songs from an artist list that stretches from Travis Scott and Morgan Wallen to Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. Rockstar Games announced the soundtrack album on 17 September, made in partnership with Atlantic Records, and six of its singles are already streaming.

The full album can be pre-saved on major streaming services now, and physical editions are up for pre-order on the official album store, starting at $19.98 for the CD. GTA 6 itself launches on the same date for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The First Six GTA 6 Album Singles

Rockstar released six singles on announcement day, all available on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, TIDAL, and Deezer.

The producer credit on RHYNO is the one most likely to catch attention, since Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo is one half of Daft Punk.

Rockstar describes the roster as “genre-defying”, and the first six already back that up: country from Wallen, reggaeton from Rauw Alejandro, Swedish rap from Yung Lean, and French house from Etienne de Crécy all sit in the same batch. That still leaves 28 of the 34 tracks unrevealed, and Rockstar hasn’t named any of the remaining artists.

GTA 6 Album Vinyl and CD Editions and Prices

Three editions are exclusive to the official album store, and all three begin shipping on 20 November, a day after the album goes live on streaming services.

EditionPriceWhat’s Included
CD$19.98Full album audio CD and booklet in a jewel case
Vinyl (splatter edition)$49.98Two transparent magenta discs with blue splatter
Limited-Edition Vinyl$124.98Two transparent magenta discs filled with blue liquid, plus exclusive new artwork and packaging

Retailers are getting their own exclusive vinyl colourways with new artwork, including Blood Records, Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, Urban Outfitters, and independent record stores. Best Buy’s version is a standard 2LP in clear pink vinyl with purple splatter, and it comes with a 12×24 poster. At $49.98, it costs the same as the store’s splatter vinyl, so choosing between them comes down to the colourway and whether you want the poster.

These records and CDs are the only part of GTA 6 launching on a physical disc. Boxed retail copies of the game contain a download code rather than a playable disc, so anyone who wants something from Vice City they can actually put in a player will be buying the soundtrack.

How to Play GTA 6 Early

With the album and the game sharing a 19 November date, New Zealand is where that date arrives first. The New Zealand PlayStation Store lists GTA 6 for 11am UTC on 18 November, which is 12am NZDT on 19 November. That puts New Zealand up to 19 hours ahead of the last listed PlayStation window in Mexico, and 18 hours ahead of the single US unlock.

Players outside New Zealand can use that gap, but the process differs by console.

More GTA 6 Music Details to Come

The announcement followed teasers from several of the artists earlier in the week, and Rockstar says the album is only the first piece of GTA 6’s music plans. The studio has promised more on the game’s dynamic score and what it calls “the next evolution of in-game radio”, the feature the series has long used to showcase licensed music from well-known artists.

Rockstar hasn’t said when those details will arrive, or whether all 34 album tracks will play on the game’s radio stations.
