GTA 6: The Album Is Official: 34 Tracks, 6 Singles Out Now, and a $125 Liquid Vinyl Sold Out in Minutes
Rockstar has announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, 34 original tracks with Atlantic Records arriving November 19. Six singles from Travis Scott, Keith Richards, Morgan Wallen, Future and more are streaming now, and the $124.98 limited vinyl with liquid-filled discs sold out in minutes for UK and EU buyers and is already listed at nearly triple on eBay.
Two days after ten artists posted GTA 6 artwork within hours of each other, Rockstar has said what it was all for. Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album is real: an official soundtrack album of 34 original tracks, made with Atlantic Records, releasing November 19, 2026, the same day as the game. Rockstar announced it on the Newswire and on X on the morning of September 17 (the X post went up at 12:05 UTC) and put the first six singles on streaming services at the same time.
The physical side is where things got out of hand. A $124.98 limited-edition vinyl, pressed on two transparent magenta discs filled with blue liquid, sold out within minutes for UK buyers on the official album store, gtavi-thealbum.com, which is run by Atlantic Records, and the store's EU listing followed by the evening. By the afternoon eBay listings were asking close to three times the retail price for a record that does not ship for two months. Here is everything that is confirmed, what you can listen to right now, and where you can still order the vinyl tonight.
The six singles you can stream right now
Rockstar describes it as "34 original tracks that capture the electric energy" of Vice City and Leonida, from "a genre-defying roster of the most exciting artists in the world." Six of them are out today on Spotify, Apple Music and the other major services, and every artist from the September 15 tease is on one of them (Etienne de Crécy is the one new name):
- Yung Lean, "That's It" (feat. Future and Metro Boomin)
- Travis Scott, "RHYNO" (produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, one half of Daft Punk)
- CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy, "Sexy Magic"
- Morgan Wallen, "Last Thing You Need"
- Rauw Alejandro, "Macacoa 2000"
- Keith Richards, "Bright Lights, Big City"
That is a Daft Punk producer on a Travis Scott record, Future and Metro Boomin guesting on a Yung Lean track, and a Rolling Stone cutting a blues standard for a video game, all on day one. Richards' track is a cover of Jimmy Reed's 1961 blues classic "Bright Lights, Big City", as Rolling Stone notes. The remaining 28 tracks are unannounced. Vice notes that Rockstar has not said when the full tracklist will be revealed, and Rockstar's own post says the album is available to pre-save on all major streaming services in the meantime.
What "The Album" actually is
This is not the in-game radio, although Rockstar tied the two together. The joint Rockstar and Atlantic press release, as reproduced by Digital Music News, says The Album "will arrive alongside the next evolution of the in-game radio stations, dynamic score, and musical touchpoints that have long anchored the series." It is the first time Rockstar's own materials have mentioned a dynamic score for GTA 6 that we can find, and the first hint that the radio is changing, though details on both are promised for later rather than given now. GTA has always shipped with licensed stations full of existing songs; our GTA 6 radio stations guide tracks what is confirmed there. The Album is a separate, original record: new music made for the game and released as its own product through Atlantic, the way big film soundtracks get their own albums. Whether and how these tracks also play inside Leonida, on a station, in a club or over a story beat, is something Rockstar has not explained yet.
The $125 liquid-filled vinyl, and why it sold out in minutes
Three physical editions, which Rockstar and Atlantic describe as "three Atlantic Records exclusives," went up for pre-order on the official album store at launch:
- Limited-Edition Vinyl, $124.98 (£108.99 in the UK): two transparent magenta discs filled with blue liquid, with exclusive artwork and packaging.
- Standard Vinyl, $49.98 (£44.99): two transparent magenta discs with blue splatter.
- CD, $19.98 (£10.99): full album with a booklet in a jewel case.
The limited edition is the collector's item, and it went the way collector's items go. GamingBible reported that it "sold out within a matter of minutes of going live," and Dexerto said it had sold out for UK and European buyers on the official store. GamingBible's verdict on the price was blunt: "It's a ridiculously high price tag considering that the vinyl's only unique selling point is a different disc and artwork design."
One thing worth knowing if you missed it: the sellout is per storefront, not global. When we checked the store's own product feeds at 9:30 PM UTC on September 17, the limited edition showed sold out on the UK (£108.99) and EU (€123.99) storefronts, but was still listed as available at $124.98 on the store's US and international USD storefront, alongside the standard vinyl and CD. Stock can obviously change by the hour.
It is already flipping for triple on eBay
Within hours of the sellout, GamingBible found the limited edition on eBay at £312.70, £385.57 and £313.87 from sellers in the UK, the US and Italy, close to three times the £108.99 retail price. Every listing uses placeholder images, because nobody will have the record in hand before launch week: the official store lists a November 20 ship date. As the site put it, "it's impossible to verify whether a listing is legitimate."
Do not pay it. The album does not ship for two months, retailer-exclusive variants are still on sale, and the same pattern played out with GTA 6 pre-order scalping earlier this year: early panic prices, then plenty of stock. If you want the liquid-filled discs specifically, check the official store first and keep an eye on restocks.
Where else to buy it
The press release also lists retail exclusives, "each with a distinct vinyl pressing design and poster":
- Blood Records (UK): a pink 2LP with blue and purple splatter, £39.99, sold as a time-limited pre-order for one week only, with an exclusive 12x24 poster. Blood says it aims to ship on or close to November 19.
- Best Buy: a clear pink vinyl with purple splatter and an exclusive 12x24 poster, per the Best Buy listing Kotaku links to.
- Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, Urban Outfitters and independent record stores each get their own pressing.
The two magenta editions, liquid and splatter, are exclusive to the official album store, per Kotaku.
No game disc, but a double vinyl
Kotaku's framing of the day was hard to argue with: GTA 6 itself has no physical disc, the boxed edition ships a code, and yet the soundtrack is getting a real CD and two vinyl pressings. If you wanted a GTA 6 disc on a shelf, the album is currently the only one you can buy: the boxed game is a code, not a disc. For the story behind the missing disc, see our report on Rockstar's no-disc plans.
What this means for the September 15 tease
Every artist who posted artwork on September 15 now has a single, so the "coordinated campaign" reading was right, and Travis Scott's "Phase 1" looks like it meant the singles rollout. His caption's "J.O.H." line is still unexplained; nothing in today's announcement mentions the Jack of Hearts or any in-game role for Scott, so our decoder of that post stays a theory for now. What did change is the scale: our reading of the tease pointed at radio placements, and the answer turned out to be 34 original songs on a major-label album.
The timing was also a small vindication for anyone who ignored the trailer countdowns. The announcement came from Rockstar's own channels, with the X post landing 55 minutes before Take-Two's annual shareholder meeting opened, not from the meeting itself, exactly as we expected yesterday.
The bottom line
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album is official: 34 original tracks with Atlantic Records, out November 19 alongside the game, with six singles from Travis Scott, Keith Richards, Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro, Yung Lean and a PinkPantheress and Fred again.. supergroup streaming now. The $124.98 liquid-filled vinyl sold out in minutes on the official store's UK storefront, with the EU storefront following, and is already listed at close to three times retail on eBay, but retailer exclusives and the store's USD storefront still had stock on launch night. Stream the singles, pre-save the album, and do not pay a scalper for a record that does not exist yet.
Update log
- September 17, 2026 (22:00 UTC): corrected where the limited edition sold out: it was the UK storefront of the official Atlantic-run album store (gtavi-thealbum.com), not Rockstar's own store, with the EU storefront following by evening while the USD storefront still had stock; changed "more than triple" to "close to three times" to match GamingBible's figures; quoted Rockstar's description verbatim; noted the store's November 20 ship date; attributed the retailer list and press-release quote to the joint Rockstar and Atlantic release; softened two inferences about the September 15 tease.
