Rockstar will release the GTA 6 album on November 19, giving collectors a physical soundtrack rollout even as Grand Theft Auto 6 itself will not launch on disc. The package arrives with vinyl, CD and streaming access, which turns the music release into the clearest purchasable part of the project.
The limited edition vinyl set costs $125, while the double LP is priced at $50 and the double CD at $20. That three-tier pricing makes the release unusually broad for a game-linked soundtrack: one format for collectors, one for casual buyers and one for listeners who want the music without the box.
Tom Phillips on the rollout
Tom Phillips, IGN's News Editor, identified the physical soundtrack details after billbil-kun at Dealabs broke the story this afternoon. A few minutes later, Rockstar moved the album into the open, and the timing tracked with teasing from Spotify online and across billboards in New York, Los Angeles and Miami.
Rockstar Games and Atlantic Records will publish Grand Theft Auto 6: The Album, and the first six tracks are already available on major streaming services. Listeners can also pre-save the album there, which gives the release a staggered launch path instead of one clean drop.
Travis Scott and Keith Richards
Travis Scott and Keith Richards are among the first artists tied to the album, which gives the soundtrack immediate name value before the full track list arrives. For buyers, that means the November 19 release is not just a merch item; it is the first concrete music product attached to the game's rollout.
Strauss Zelnick, the boss of Take-Two, defended the lack of a physical disc for GTA 6 last month and said discs do not really make sense for the consumer. That leaves Rockstar selling a physical soundtrack while withholding a physical game, a split that puts the music release in the collector lane and the game itself in digital-only territory.
Grand Theft Auto 6: The Album
The next detail buyers need is the rest of the track list. Rockstar has already set the release date, the formats and the prices; what remains is which additional tracks or artists will join the first six songs now on streaming services.
