What Is GTA 6: The Album?
Rockstar announced the project directly, describing it as a collection of tracks that "capture the electric energy of Vice City and Leonida" from what the studio calls a "genre-defying artist roster." Unlike the in-game radio stations players are used to hearing while driving around, this is being marketed as a standalone album release — arriving on streaming platforms, CD, and vinyl, separate from (but tied to) the game itself.
The announcement follows several days of teasing, with artists including Travis Scott, Keith Richards, Morgan Wallen, and PinkPantheress posting GTA VI-themed art to their social accounts ahead of the reveal. Spotify had also been teasing a collaboration in the 24 hours before the album went live.
The Six Singles Available to Stream Today
While the full 34-track album won't drop until launch day, Rockstar released six songs immediately, and they're already live on Spotify and other major streaming platforms:
- 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"
That's a genuinely wide spread of genres — hip-hop, country, rock, and electronic — packed into just six tracks, which lines up with Rockstar's "genre-defying" framing. The remaining 28 songs on the album haven't been revealed yet, and Rockstar hasn't said when the full tracklist will drop.
GTA 6: The Album Release Date
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album is scheduled to release on November 19, the same day GTA 6 launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The full album can be pre-saved now on Spotify and other major streaming services ahead of that date.
Physical Editions: CD, Vinyl, and Limited Edition Vinyl
Here's the part that caught most people off guard — the album is getting a genuine physical release, with three separate options:
| Edition | Price (UK) | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Standard CD | £10.99 | Full album on CD with an album booklet, jewel case |
| Standard Vinyl | £44.99 | Two transparent magenta discs with blue splatter |
| Limited Edition Vinyl | £108.99 | Two transparent magenta discs filled with blue liquid, exclusive artwork |
All three formats include the full 34-track album once it's released, even though only six tracks are currently listed.
Why the Limited Edition Vinyl Already Sold Out
The limited edition vinyl — the £108.99 liquid-filled version — sold out within minutes of going live on Rockstar's official store. As of now, there's no confirmation on whether it'll be restocked or made available through other retailers. If you missed it, the standard vinyl and CD editions are still available to pre-order.
The Irony Fans Can't Stop Talking About
Here's the twist that's driving most of the conversation online: GTA 6 the game is only launching digitally, with physical retail copies containing nothing but a code in the box. Meanwhile, the album is getting a full disc-based physical release across CD and vinyl.
Unsurprisingly, that contrast hasn't gone unnoticed. One fan replying to Rockstar's announcement wrote, "The irony to release this on disc but not the game itself," while another asked, "So you're releasing the music on CD and Vinyl but the game not on disc?" It's a fair point, and it's become one of the biggest talking points around the announcement so far.
Where to Pre-Order
Pre-orders for all three physical editions are live now through Rockstar's official album store. The digital album is available to pre-save on Spotify and other major streaming platforms ahead of the November 19 release.
FAQ
How many songs are on GTA 6: The Album?
The album will feature 34 original tracks total. Only six have been released so far, with the rest arriving alongside the game on November 19.
Can I listen to the album now?
You can stream the six released singles now on Spotify and other major platforms. The full album isn't available until November 19, though you can pre-save it ahead of time.
Is the limited edition vinyl still available?
No — the £108.99 limited edition vinyl sold out shortly after launching. There's currently no confirmation on a restock.
Will GTA 6: The Album be used as the game's in-game radio soundtrack?
Rockstar hasn't confirmed whether these tracks will play a role in the game's in-game radio stations. This has been marketed as a standalone album release rather than an official in-game radio soundtrack reveal.
What artists are confirmed on the album so far?
Confirmed artists from the first six tracks include Yung Lean, Future, Metro Boomin, Travis Scott, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.., Etienne de Crécy, Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro, and Keith Richards.
Does the album release on the same day as GTA 6?
Yes, both the game and the album are set for November 19.
Why are fans upset about the physical release?
Because GTA 6 itself won't have a true physical disc release — physical copies of the game only include a code — while the album is getting a full CD and vinyl release. Many fans see this as ironic.
Final Thoughts
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album is shaping up to be one of the more unexpected side stories of the GTA 6 rollout. Rockstar clearly isn't treating this as a throwaway companion release — the artist roster, the physical formats, and the Atlantic Records partnership all point to a genuine music event tied to the game's launch. Whether the remaining 28 tracks live up to the first six, and whether that sold-out vinyl gets restocked, remains to be seen. For now, the six available singles are worth a listen while you wait for November 19.
