GTA VI Soundtrack Drops Six Original Songs From Travis Scott and More

Rockstar Games and Atlantic Records have been drip-feeding GTA VI news for what feels like forever. Today that patience pays off. The Grand Theft Auto VI official soundtrack arrived with 34 songs total, six of them brand-new originals recorded specifically for the game. The full project, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, drops November 19 alongside the game itself.

The roster here is not filler. Travis Scott, PinkPantheress, Yung Lean, Future, Metro Boomin, Fred Again.., Rauw Alejandro, Morgan Wallen, and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones all show up across these six debut tracks. That is a cross-genre, cross-generation lineup that tells you exactly how big Rockstar is swinging with this release.

What Songs Are on the GTA VI Soundtrack?

The lead-off track generating the most conversation is "Sexy Magic," a collaboration between PinkPantheress, CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso, Fred Again.., and French DJ Etienne de Crécy. That pairing of PinkPantheress's UK pop sensibility with Fred Again..'s production style and a couple of South American artists nobody saw coming together is exactly the kind of unexpected moment that makes a soundtrack memorable.

Travis Scott's contribution is produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk. That alone is a headline. De Homem-Christo has stayed largely out of the production chair since Daft Punk's 2021 split, so his fingerprints on a Travis Scott record for one of the biggest entertainment releases of the decade is a genuine moment worth paying attention to.

Yung Lean brings "That's It," featuring Future and Metro Boomin. Lean has been quietly building credibility in mainstream spaces for a few years now, and landing a collab with Future and Metro on a Rockstar-backed soundtrack is a significant level-up. Keith Richards contributes "Bright Lights, Big City," Rauw Alejandro handles "Macacoa 2000," and Morgan Wallen rounds out the original six with "Last Thing You Need."

Why This GTA VI Album Release Matters Beyond Gaming

Video game soundtracks have always been cultural artifacts, but the GTA series operates differently. The in-game radio stations on past GTA titles introduced millions of players to genres and artists they would not have found otherwise. GTA: San Andreas had a legitimate impact on how a generation of listeners engaged with West Coast rap and funk. GTA V's soundtrack ran deep enough to pull people into electronic music and indie rock. GTA VI is clearly aiming for that same kind of cultural imprint, but with a release strategy that treats the music as a standalone commercial product, not just background audio.

The Atlantic/Rockstar partnership is the key detail here. This is being marketed and distributed like a major-label album drop, with a hard release date, a proper tracklist reveal, and retail availability through shops like Rough Trade. The full 34-song project hits November 19.

For independent artists and producers, the infrastructure around this release is worth studying. Rockstar built a media ecosystem around their game's music that generates coverage, streams, and cultural conversation entirely separate from gameplay. That is a model that labels, brands, and creative studios are going to keep chasing. If you are a producer or artist thinking about sync licensing and brand partnerships as revenue streams, the GTA VI rollout is a case study in how to do it at scale.

For listeners, the immediate move is straightforward: all six debut tracks are streaming now. The full album lands November 19. Whether or not you ever pick up a controller, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album is shaping up to be one of the more interesting compilation releases of the year, and the Travis Scott and Daft Punk production credit alone should put it on your radar.
