Key Takeaways

When Rockstar Games’ developers hinted they had a lot in store for GTA fans, they really meant it. On Thursday (Sept. 17), the video game publisher announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, which will arrive on Nov. 19 alongside the highly anticipated game itself.

Spanning a whopping 34 tracks — six of which are now available on streaming services — the soundtrack LP will “capture the electric energy of Grand Theft Auto VI’s world of Vice City and Leonida,” with the studio enlisting what it describes as “a genre-defying roster of the most exciting artists in the world.”

As a promising taste of what’s to come, we got Future and Metro Boomin reuniting on Yung Lean’s “That’s It,” Travis Scott’s first solo release of the year with “RHYNO,” and CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso’s electro-pop jam “Sexy Magic” featuring PinkPantheress, Fred again.., and Etienne de Crécy.

There’s a little something for everyone, as evidenced by Morgan Wallen bringing some country to the table with “Last Thing You Need,” Rauw Alejandro representing Latin pop with “Macacoa 2000,” and Keith Richards' ode to Vice City with “Bright Lights, Big City.” Take a listen below.

‘Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album’ artists started dropping clues before the official announcement

Many of the artists above actually began teasing their involvement in the Grand Theft Auto VI soundtrack album on Tuesday (Sept. 15), sharing cryptic photos that matched the illustration style Rockstar has been using throughout the rollout. “Now it's time. My return to game gotta come with rage and a lot of dancing. Let's ride,” Scott, who was one of the few rappers to include a caption, wrote in his post.

While Rockstar is seemingly set on releasing Grand Theft Auto VI digitally only, at least leading up to its launch, the album will give fans something physical to add to their collection. The CD currently runs about $20, while the standard vinyl is priced around $50. Then there’s the limited-edition vinyl at roughly $125, complete with two transparent magenta records filled with blue liquid and exclusive artwork. All three are currently available to pre-order here.
