Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t simply getting a soundtrack.

Rockstar is releasing an entire album of original music created for the game.

Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album will contain 34 new tracks and arrive alongside GTA VI on November 19, 2026.

Even better, the first six songs are already out.

The initial lineup includes Travis Scott, PinkPantheress, Yung Lean, Future, Metro Boomin, Fred again.., Keith Richards, Rauw Alejandro and others.

For a series with one of gaming’s greatest musical histories, this is a significant development.

What songs from the GTA VI soundtrack can you hear now?

Six original tracks have been released in the first wave.

They include new music involving Travis Scott, PinkPantheress, Yung Lean, Future, Metro Boomin, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Fred again.., Étienne de Crécy, Keith Richards, Rauw Alejandro and Morgan Wallen.

One particularly fascinating combination is Travis Scott working on a track produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo.

Yes.

That Guy-Manuel.

One half of Daft Punk.

That alone makes the GTA VI album considerably more interesting than a normal videogame compilation.

How many songs are on GTA VI: The Album?

Importantly, these are described as original tracks rather than simply songs Rockstar has licensed from existing catalogues.

That distinction matters.

GTA has traditionally been famous for radio stations filled with existing music.

GTA VI appears to be expanding that model by becoming a place where major artists release new music.

In other words, Rockstar isn’t only curating culture.

It is commissioning it.

When is the GTA VI soundtrack released?

November 19, 2026.

The album is scheduled to arrive alongside the game and will be available through major streaming services as well as CD and vinyl.

Six tracks have been released early, giving listeners almost two months to explore the music before launch.

Is Travis Scott on GTA VI?

Yes.

And the production connection makes his involvement particularly interesting.

Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo has maintained a relatively selective profile since Daft Punk ended in 2021.

Anything involving one of Daft Punk’s members immediately attracts attention from electronic-music fans.

Combine that with Travis Scott and GTA VI and you have three enormous audiences intersecting.

Is PinkPantheress on GTA VI?

Yes.

PinkPantheress appears with the new track “Sexy Magic”.

Her inclusion makes perfect sense.

Her music already borrows heavily from the history of electronic dance music, UK garage, drum and bass and internet-era pop.

GTA soundtracks have always been particularly good at putting different musical generations beside each other.

PinkPantheress effectively does that inside individual songs.

Why is Keith Richards involved?

Because GTA soundtracks enjoy chaos.

Keith Richards appears with “Bright Lights, Big City”.

Putting a Rolling Stone on the same project as Travis Scott, PinkPantheress and Yung Lean is exactly the kind of cross-generational collision GTA does better than almost anybody.

A younger player might arrive for Travis Scott.

Then discover Keith Richards.

Or the opposite.

Is Morgan Wallen on the GTA VI soundtrack?

Yes.

His announced track is “Last Thing You Need”.

Country’s presence shouldn’t be surprising.

The genre has become increasingly dominant in mainstream American listening during the 2020s.

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is currently demonstrating just how far country can travel beyond traditional country audiences.

Radar already has a dedicated explainer on that song.

Will GTA VI still have radio stations?

The album announcement doesn’t mean GTA’s famous radio system has disappeared.

Music has always been fundamental to the series.

Driving through a fictional city while switching between radio stations is part of the GTA experience.

Previous games have created enormous discovery moments for:

classic rock

hip-hop

electronic music

funk

soul

reggae

country

punk

and obscure catalogue recordings.

GTA VI now has an opportunity to do that at an unprecedented scale.

Why are GTA soundtracks so influential?

Context.

Hearing a song on a playlist is one thing.

Hearing it while driving through Vice City at 2am while something ridiculous is happening creates a memory.

Games can attach music to experiences in the same way films do.

Except the player participates.

That can make the association even stronger.

GTA VI is already reviving old songs

Radar recently explored how Cliff Richard’s 1976 hit “Devil Woman” has been introduced to a new generation through GTA VI.

Reported streaming increases following its exposure demonstrate the power Rockstar still has over catalogue discovery.

Now imagine that power applied to music specifically created for the game.

What should listeners hear first?

Start with the six tracks already available.

Then explore the artists behind them.

If the Travis Scott track takes you toward Daft Punk, follow that rabbit hole.

If PinkPantheress sends you into UK garage, keep going.

If Keith Richards sends you backwards through the Rolling Stones catalogue, even better.

That’s what GTA soundtracks have always been good at.

They don’t merely give you songs.

They give you doors into other music.

And GTA VI appears to have built 34 new ones.
