GTA 6: The Album — 34 Tracks, Nine Out Now, and Still No V-Rock

Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, announced September 17 by Rockstar and Atlantic, has 34 original tracks, out November 19 alongside the game. Nine are streaming now, the newest from score composers Justice. It retires the two-confirmed-songs era and names no radio stations.

Quick answer

  • Confirmed September 17, 2026. Rockstar and Atlantic Records announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album — 34 original tracks written for the game, out November 19, the same day that GTA 6 itself launches.
  • Nine of them are streaming now, led by Travis Scott's RHYNO, produced by Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, with Cardi B, Keith Richards and Flower in a Hurricane from score composers Justice.
  • No radio station has been named. Rockstar promised the next evolution of in-game radio but listed no station by name, so V-Rock is still only leaked, which is exactly where it stood back in August.
  • The album ships on physical media; the game does not. A boxed copy of GTA 6 holds a download code and no disc. The limited-edition liquid-filled vinyl sold out in minutes and is now being resold.

Rockstar and Atlantic Records announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album on September 17 — 34 original tracks written for the game, releasing November 19, 2026, the same day as GTA 6 itself. Six were streaming that day, and nine are now. This is the largest music announcement of the campaign, and it retires the line this site has carried since May: that only two GTA 6 songs were confirmed.

It also leaves one thing conspicuously unsaid. Rockstar promised "the next evolution of in-game radio" and named not one station.

What was actually announced

Confirmed. This came from Rockstar's own Newswire and an Atlantic Records press release — first-party on both sides, which is why this page is rated confirmed rather than reported.

Album Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album
Label Atlantic Records, in collaboration with Rockstar Games
Tracks 34, all original, written for the game
Release November 19, 2026 — same day as GTA 6
Available now 6 singles, all major streaming platforms
Formats Digital, CD, and multiple vinyl pressings

The operative line from the announcement: the album "will arrive alongside the next evolution of the pioneering in-game radio stations, dynamic score, and musical touchpoints that anchor the series." Rockstar closed by telling readers to stay tuned for more on the dynamic score and the radio.

Two things follow from that sentence. The album is not the radio — it is a separate commercial release that sits alongside the in-game stations. And Rockstar is explicitly holding the radio reveal back for a later beat.

The nine songs you can hear now

Artist Track
Yung Lean (feat. Future & Metro Boomin) "That's It"
Travis Scott "RHYNO" — produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk
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"
Cardi B "Don't Chart" — released October 8
Fuerza Regida "Suzuki" — released October 8
Justice (feat. Tame Impala, SZA & King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard) "Flower in a Hurricane" — released October 15 with the launch trailer

That leaves 25 tracks unannounced.

Speculation. Look at the spread of those six: Atlanta trap, a UK hyperpop-and-house cluster, mainstream country, Latin pop, and a Rolling Stone. That is not what a playlist looks like when you release your six best songs. It is what a playlist looks like when you release one song per format — and GTA radio has always been organised by format. Reading the singles as a preview of the station lineup is a guess, but it is a guess the release pattern invites.

What Rockstar did not say

Confirmed: GTA 6 has in-game radio stations, plural, and Rockstar calls what is coming an evolution of them.

Not confirmed: any station name whatsoever.

That gap matters more than it looks, because "is V-Rock coming back" is among the most-asked questions about this game's music, and today's answer is the same as August's. A radio-station menu in the CyberLeek leak on August 20 appeared to list V-Rock — Vice City's original hair-metal station — alongside eMotion 98.3. That was, and remains, leaked material. An announcement that says "pioneering in-game radio stations" in the plural and then names none of them does not upgrade it.

We have kept V-Rock off the confirmed ledger since the leak, and it stays off today. The other open question, who wrote the dynamic score, has since been answered: on October 15 Rockstar named Justice as the game's original score composers.

The album ships on physical media. The game does not.

Here is the odd shape of November 19.

The Album gets a real physical release: CD, standard vinyl, retailer-exclusive pressings at Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, Urban Outfitters, Blood Records and independent record stores — each with its own artwork and poster — plus a limited-edition pressing of two transparent magenta discs filled with blue liquid. That one sold out within minutes of pre-orders opening and is already being resold at a heavy markup.

The game does not. Boxed copies of GTA 6 contain a download code, not a disc, in either edition — see the editions explainer. PlayStation stops producing discs for new games in January 2028, and GTA 6 arrives fourteen months ahead of that line.

So the soundtrack is the GTA 6 object you can actually put on a shelf this November. That is a quirk of two industries moving in opposite directions rather than a statement by Rockstar — vinyl has spent a decade growing while game discs shrank — but if you were hoping for something physical at launch, this is what exists.

What this changes on this site

Three of our pages were built on a count that is now nine months out of date, and we have corrected them rather than leaving them to age:

  • The soundtrack ledger was titled and structured around "both confirmed songs." Thirty-four are now confirmed. It has been rewritten around the album, and the V-Rock section kept, because that question is genuinely still open.
  • The confirmed-facts ledger listed two confirmed songs and a pending soundtrack reveal. Updated.
  • The feature ledger carried the same two-song line. Updated.

We also owe a scored call. The soundtrack ledger predicted Rockstar would reveal "the full soundtrack and radio-station lineup in the final pre-launch window, per Rockstar's prior pattern." Half of that landed, in a bigger form than we expected — an entire label-backed album with six singles, nine weeks out. The other half did not: there is still no station list. That goes on our prediction record as a partial, not a hit.

What to watch next

  • The remaining 25 tracks. Nine are out, in three drops since September 17; the rest arrive with the album on November 19.
  • Station names. Rockstar has told you they are coming. Until one is named, V-Rock stays leaked — and we will move it the day that changes.
  • The dynamic score. Answered on October 15: Justice composed it, Rockstar said with the launch trailer.

The countdown runs to November 19 for both the game and the album.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album?
It is the official GTA 6 soundtrack album, announced September 17, 2026 by Rockstar Games and Atlantic Records. It contains 34 original tracks written for the game and releases November 19, 2026 — the same day as Grand Theft Auto VI. It is separate from the game's original score, which Justice composed, and from the in-game radio stations, which Rockstar has not yet named.
How many songs are confirmed for the GTA 6 soundtrack?
Thirty-four original songs are confirmed on the album, of which nine had been released by October 28, 2026. That supersedes the long-running count of two confirmed songs — Tom Petty's 'Love Is a Long Road' from Trailer 1 and The Pointer Sisters' 'Hot Together' from Trailer 2 — which were trailer music, not an announced tracklist. The full 34-track listing has not been published.
Which GTA 6 songs can I listen to right now?
Nine singles are on all major streaming platforms. Six arrived on September 17: Yung Lean's 'That's It' featuring Future and Metro Boomin; Travis Scott's 'RHYNO', produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk; 'Sexy Magic' by CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso with PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy; Morgan Wallen's 'Last Thing You Need'; Rauw Alejandro's 'Macacoa 2000'; and Keith Richards' 'Bright Lights, Big City'. Cardi B's 'Don't Chart' and Fuerza Regida's 'Suzuki' followed on October 8, and Justice's 'Flower in a Hurricane', with Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, on October 15.
Is V-Rock confirmed for GTA 6?
No. Rockstar's album announcement refers to 'the next evolution of the pioneering in-game radio stations' but names no station. V-Rock and eMotion 98.3 appeared in a radio menu in the August 20 CyberLeek leak, which is leaked evidence rather than an official announcement. V-Rock's status is unchanged by this announcement: leaked, not confirmed.
When does Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album come out?
November 19, 2026 — the same day Grand Theft Auto VI launches on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. Digital, CD and vinyl pre-orders opened September 17, 2026.
Does GTA 6: The Album come on vinyl?
Yes. Standard vinyl and CD pressings are available, along with retailer-exclusive variants carrying their own artwork and posters. A limited-edition pressing of two transparent magenta discs filled with blue liquid sold out within minutes of pre-orders opening and is now being resold well above its original price.
