Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album

Overview

Atlantic Records and Rockstar Games announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album on September 17, 2026. Rockstar's music page describes "34 original tracks that capture the electric energy of Grand Theft Auto VI's world of Vice City and Leonida" and a "genre-defying roster" of artists. The full album comes out on November 19, the game's release day. Six songs went to streaming services on announcement day, and Consequence reported that the remaining 28 tracks would be revealed later.

Billboard wrote that the album is meant to continue the series' habit of introducing new music and musical subcultures to a global audience.

The singles so far

Rockstar's music page now lists nine singles, with the credits as Rockstar gives them:

• "That's It" by Yung Lean, featuring Future and Metro Boomin
• "RHYNO" by Travis Scott, produced by Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo
• "Sexy Magic" by CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy
• "Flower in a Hurricane" by Justice, featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
• "Last Thing You Need" by Morgan Wallen
• "Suzuki" by Fuerza Regida
• "Macacoa 2000" by Rauw Alejandro
• "Don't Chart" by Cardi B
• "Bright Lights, Big City" by Keith Richards, a cover of Jimmy Reed's 1961 blues song

Six of them came out on announcement day. "Suzuki" and "Don't Chart" were added to the page later, and "Flower in a Hurricane" arrived on October 15, 2026 with the game's Launch Trailer. On November 10, 2026 Rockstar's Pre-Load Now video premiered "Blood in Your Eyes" by Tove Lo, which the Newswire post names as a song from the album. The first six run from Argentine trap and French house to country pop and Chicago blues, and each has its own entry on this wiki.

How it was teased

The rollout began two days before the announcement. Travis Scott, Morgan Wallen, Future, Metro Boomin and others posted matching artwork in GTA's illustration style, and Whiskey Riff reported that fans guessed at radio stations or soundtrack songs. Wikipedia's article on the album adds that Vice City-themed billboards carrying the Spotify logo went up at the same time. Vibe noted that Scott had been on a Rockstar soundtrack before: his 2013 track "Upper Echelon" played on Radio Los Santos in GTA V.

Vinyl, CD and retail editions

Pre-orders opened on announcement day. Atlantic has three exclusives: a limited-edition liquid-filled vinyl, a splatter vinyl and a CD jewel case, each with its own artwork. Retail variants were announced for Blood Records, Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, Urban Outfitters and independent record stores, each with a distinct pressing and a poster.

The physical release drew comment because the game itself has no disc at launch. Wikipedia's summary cites GameSpot, IGN and the BBC on that point, and reports that the liquid-filled vinyl sold out quickly and was relisted by resellers at around $440.

Early chart results

The singles charted within two weeks. On charts dated October 3, 2026:

• "Last Thing You Need" debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, Wallen's 21st top 10
• "Macacoa 2000" debuted at No. 10 on Hot Latin Songs
• "Sexy Magic" debuted at No. 16 on Hot Latin Songs, No. 2 on Hot Latin Pop Songs and No. 8 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs
• "RHYNO" reached No. 84 on the Hot 100, according to Wikipedia's chart table

Reception

Pitchfork reviewed "That's It" as the most Floridian of the six and argued that the set as a whole works like a map of Leonida, with Morgan Wallen for the Grassrivers backcountry, Keith Richards for the retirees and PinkPantheress for the clubs and beaches of Vice City. Rolling Stone's piece on the Keith Richards cover focused on how he roughened up Jimmy Reed's original.

Justice and the score

The album is not the only music Rockstar has announced. Its Launch Trailer post on October 15, 2026 calls the electronic duo Justice the "composers of the original score from Grand Theft Auto VI," and the music page now has a Score panel headed "Official Score by Justice." The single "Flower in a Hurricane," which debuted in that trailer, is Rockstar's first public taste of their work for the game, and the Newswire post says it is "also available on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album."

The score gets its own release. Rockstar tells fans to "stay tuned for more information on the music of Grand Theft Auto VI, including the official score album," without a date, title or track list so far.

The album is not the radioUnconfirmed

Radio has been the core of GTA music for years; Vibe calls GTA Radio "a staple among gamers and musicians alike." Billboard's report said the album "will arrive alongside the next iteration of the game's in-game radio stations, score, and other musical touchpoints." Rockstar named the first six of those stations on October 8, 2026, including Cocoteo FM, Back Country Radio and Flash FM; see GTA VI radio stations for the lineup, hosts and previews. Rockstar has not said which album songs, if any, play on which station, so no album track should be treated as confirmed radio content.
