There is GTA VI news, a more ancillary one, but still interesting nonetheless. Rockstar Games announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, an official soundtrack album featuring 34 brand-new original tracks from “a genre-defying roster of the most exciting artists in the world.”
The album is available to pre-save on various music streaming services.
Here’s a link to the Spotify listing of Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album.
Promotion for the new album, releasing under Atlantic Records, is now ongoing, with billboards featuring the the cover art now appearing in Los Angeles, New York City and most appropriately, Miami. Miami serves as the main inspiration for GTA VI’s fictional city of Vice City.
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album will be available in vinyl and CD, unlike the game itself which won’t be available in disc form despite having a physical release.
Of the 34 songs in the album, six singles will be debuting today. And it’s a list of notable artists from across various genres.
A Travis Scott song produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (i.e. one half of the now-defunct French House legend act Daft Punk). A new song from Morgan Wallen, the country pop singer who adorned the winning car in the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500. A big collab featuring five different producers including PinkPantheress. A song from Rolling Stones member Keith Richards.
In other words, it’s a stacked list.
Here’s the list of six new songs, releasing as singles for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, which you can listen to today:
- 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
Rockstar Games have always been licensing songs for the GTA games to be included in radio stations. Having at least 34 original songs from established artists and acts produced just for the game is the flex you expect from a game that’ll cost at least RM339 on release.
GTA VI is set to release on November 19 for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
UPDATE 18/9/26: The story is updated with a direct link to the Spotify listing to the album, and the existence of real-life promotion.
