Sources: 165. Developments: 5. Anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI has intensified as Rockstar Games enters a major marketing phase ahead of its November 19, 2026, worldwide release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game, set in the fictional state of Leonida and featuring protagonists Jason and Lucia, is supported by a massive promotional campaign, including a Spotify collaboration with large-scale billboards in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. In partnership with Atlantic Records, Rockstar has announced ‘Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album’. The soundtrack will consist of 34 original tracks designed to capture the atmosphere of Vice City and Leonida, featuring artists such as Travis Scott, Future, Morgan Wallen, Metro Boomin, Rauw Alejandro, PinkPantheress, and Keith Richards. Recent additions to the roster include the Argentine duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, who are featured on the track ‘Sexy Magic’ alongside PinkPantheress, Fred again.., and Étienne de Crécy. Additionally, Keith Richards has released a cover of the blues classic ‘Bright Lights, Big City’, originally recorded by Jimmy Reed. Six singles are currently available on streaming platforms, including Travis Scott’s ‘RHYNO’, ‘Bright Lights, Big City’ by Keith Richards, ‘Last Thing You Need’ by Morgan Wallen, and ‘That’s It’ by Yung Lean featuring Future and Metro Boomin. The album is designed as a standalone musical project distinct from the in-game radio stations, though Rockstar has indicated the game will feature an ‘evolution of in-game radio’ and a dynamic soundtrack. While the game itself will be a digital-only release—with physical boxes providing download codes—the soundtrack will be available in physical formats, including CD and various limited-edition vinyl versions. Regarding the game's launch, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy suggested that the highly anticipated multiplayer mode might not arrive until 2027, indicating the initial release will focus on the single-player experience. ## Claims - Various musical artists including Travis Scott, Future, and Keith Richards have shared artwork on social media that appears to be related to the GTA 6 soundtrack or setting.
