Rockstar reveals GTA VI soundtrack and opens pre-orders for 2LP vinyl

Rockstar and various retailers have launched pre-orders for a 2LP pressing of GTA VI: The Album, slated to drop alongside the game this November.


Following days of heavy teasing from artists like Travis Scott, Rockstar is officially kicking off the countdown to GTA VI with the reveal of Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album—a 34-track collection of original music featuring global heavyweights like Yung Lean, Future, Metro Boomin, Keith Richards, and PinkPantheress.

The first six singles are already streaming across all major platforms under the artist name "Grand Theft Auto VI," and the album can now be pre-saved on Spotify. It's set to land on November 19, coinciding with the game's launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Alongside the music drop, Rockstar Games launched a dedicated site for vinyl and CD pre-orders. As of writing, the €123 limited edition is already sold out in Europe, leaving only the standard 34-track 2LP edition and the CD version. Other retailers, including UK-based Blood Records, are rolling out their own exclusive variants, with mainstream retailers such as France's Fnac handling broader distribution.

With 34 original tracks that capture the electric energy of Grand Theft Auto VI’s world of Vice City and Leonida, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album features a genre-defying roster of the most exciting artists in the world.

This limited-edition vinyl comes with two transparent magenta discs filled with blue liquid. Featuring exclusive new artwork and packaging designs that echo the iconic style of Grand Theft Auto VI.

Featuring:

Yung Lean - That's It (feat. Future & Metro Boomin)

Travis Scott - RHYNO (prod. by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo)

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

Last month, Rockstar shared an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI, which was already packed with licensed music.

For Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar released a massive box set featuring the original tracks, licensed songs, and the score. Limited to 5,000 copies, it now fetches crazy prices on the secondhand market.

For its new entry in the most lucrative video game franchise in history, Rockstar seems to be leaning a bit less into artificial scarcity. Just like with Red Dead Redemption 2, there is little doubt the publisher will eventually roll out separate vinyl and CD editions dedicated to the rest of the music down the line.
