Rockstar and Atlantic Records Officially Unveil "Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album"

September 28, 2026Updated October 5, 2026

Rockstar Games has confirmed its first official soundtrack album for GTA 6, a joint release with Atlantic Records titled Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. The 34-track collection is set to drop on November 19, the same day the game itself launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and it is now available to pre-save on streaming platforms with vinyl and CD editions open for pre-order, including limited liquid-filled and splatter-colored vinyl variants sold through the game’s official music site and retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon and Urban Outfitters.

What makes this notable is the roster and the framing. Rockstar says every one of the 34 songs is brand-new original material made specifically for the game rather than pulled from existing catalogs, a break from the franchise’s usual reliance on licensed needle-drops for its radio stations. Six singles are officially confirmed so far, spanning genres from hip-hop to rock to Latin pop, including Travis Scott, Yung Lean (featuring Future and Metro Boomin), Keith Richards, Rauw Alejandro, Morgan Wallen, and a genre-blending collaboration between CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy.

The rollout itself was treated as an event, and the leaks have kept pace with it since. Starting on the night of September 15, several featured artists posted Rockstar-style GTA VI artwork to their own social accounts as teasers before the official reveal two days later, a tactic that generated heavy engagement as fans tried to match the imagery to in-game locations. More recently, Spotify’s backend briefly surfaced metadata pointing to Cardi B on track 19 and Fuerza Regida on track 10 before those listings were pulled, the kind of premature platform leak that has already proven accurate once with the September artist teasers. Rockstar has not confirmed either name, and with only 6 of the 34 tracks officially acknowledged, the rest of the tracklist remains a mix of unverified leaks and guesswork until Rockstar says otherwise.

Rockstar has indicated more details are still coming about the game’s dynamic score and its in-game radio stations, meaning the standalone album is only part of the wider music picture for launch. This is separate from, but complements, the confirmed November 19 release date itself, and it lands amid a busy stretch of official Rockstar activity that has also included new screenshot batches, a Love magazine spread published October 5, and comments from Rockstar North leadership about gameplay systems like police pursuits. The soundtrack announcement itself remains one of the more concrete, verifiable pieces of official news to emerge in the run-up to launch, even as leaked metadata and other unconfirmed details continue to circulate around it.
