By On September 17 Rockstar and Atlantic Records announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album — 34 original tracks recorded for the game, out November 19, the same day as GTA 6 itself. Not a compilation of licensed hits, which is how game albums usually work, but new music written for Vice City. Rockstar has released original music before — but never an album this size, landing on day one with the game.
The physical versions are the part I keep coming back to. A CD at $19.98, a splatter vinyl set at $49.98, and a limited liquid-filled edition at $124.98 — actual liquid sealed inside the disc. Look at the product shots: a gatefold with Jason and Lucia against a bullet-riddled car, art sleeves with the Vice City sunset palette, discs splattered pink and blue like the sky in Trailer 1. I have never owned a turntable in my life, and I still caught myself checking what one costs.
One honest detail for collectors: Rockstar lists the vinyl as shipping November 20, one day after release. So the game arrives before the record does — you’ll be driving down Ocean Drive with the in-game radio on while the mailman carries your copy. Pre-orders for all of it are open now on the album’s store page.
What those 34 tracks are and who recorded them is taking shape fast — six singles are already out, and the roster reads exactly like the teaser wave I wrote about on September 15. Every song confirmed for the game so far, trailers included, lives on our soundtrack page, and where this music will actually play — that’s the radio stations question, my favorite one in the whole game.
