Grand Theft Auto VI Companion Album Brings 34 Tracks to Vinyl and CD

Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album will launch alongside the Grand Theft Auto VI video game on November 19, 2026. Created in partnership with Atlantic Records, the companion album features 34 original tracks designed to capture the energy of Vice City and Leonida, according to reports from Rockstar Games, Mashable, GameSpot, IGN, and BBC News.

While the video game itself is slated for a digital-only release, the companion album will be available on both streaming services and physical formats, reviving a debate over Rockstar's physical distribution strategy highlighted by BBC News and Mashable.

What are the physical formats and prices?

Physical editions of the album are available for pre-order at three different price points. Rockstar Games and Mashable reported that a standard CD will cost $19.98, a standard vinyl will retail for $49.98, and a collector’s or limited-edition vinyl will be priced at $124.98. The limited-edition vinyl features two transparent magenta records with blue splatter, according to Vice and IGN. Standard vinyl editions are scheduled to begin shipping on November 20, 2026, as noted by Vice.

Which artists are featured on the album?

The album boasts a genre-defying roster of artists. Six singles have been released ahead of the full album drop:

• "That’s It" by Yung Lean, featuring Future and Metro Boomin
• "RHYNO" by Travis Scott
• "Sexy Magic" by CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.., and Etienne de Crécy
• "Last Thing You Need" by Morgan Wallen
• "Macacoa 2000" by Rauw Alejandro
• "Bright Lights, Big City" by Keith Richards

Additionally, EDM.com mentioned new music from Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk via a search snippet, though primary full-text sources such as Rockstar Games, Mashable, and BBC News did not detail his inclusion in their artist lists.

How does this fit into past GTA music releases?

Past GTA trailers and broadcasts have historically driven massive streaming spikes for featured tracks. BBC News reported that Tom Petty's "Love is a Long Road" increased by 36,979% on Spotify and Shazam following its use, while Captain & Tennille's "But I Think It's a Dream" jumped from 70 to 80,744 weekly streams, and Cliff Richard's "Devil Woman" was streamed over one million times. Despite the appeal of the franchise, not all artists have participated; Martyn Ware of Heaven 17 previously accused the developer of offering a "pitiful" deal for his 1983 hit "Temptation," according to BBC News.

Is this the complete game soundtrack?

There is a discrepancy regarding the scope of the release. Mashable described the 34 tracks as "just a small selection of music from the game and not a full soundtrack release," whereas other reporting outlets refer to it generally as an official soundtrack album.
