The GTA 6 Soundtrack Leaked From Early Vinyl, and the Full 34-Song Tracklist Is Real

Rockstar spent two months drip-feeding the songs on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album one single at a time. Then somebody got hold of the vinyl early, filmed the back of the sleeve, and the whole tracklist was out in an afternoon. Now Rolling Stone and Billboard have both confirmed with sources close to the project that the leak is accurate.

So here it is: all 34 songs, which ones are brand new, which ones you have already heard in trailers, and how the album fits next to the radio stations, the Justice score and the Miami festival Rockstar has lined up for launch week. GTA 6 hits PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, so you have four days to start arguing about Side C.

How the GTA 6 tracklist leaked

The leak did not come from a hacked server or a disgruntled developer this time. It came from a record store. A video posted to X showed someone handling advance copies of the GTA 6 vinyl, front and back, with the track listing clearly readable. Rolling Stone says the vinyl had been sold prematurely, which is about as old school as leaks get.

Within hours the list was everywhere, and a few early transcriptions were a bit rough around the edges (one popular version credited “Tung Lean” instead of Yung Lean). The clean version below matches the list Billboard published after confirming it with its own sources.

This also is not the first time a physical GTA 6 product has spilled secrets before launch week. Earlier this week, a collector’s box on a shelf in Manchester gave away the full map of Leonida. Rockstar went digital only for the game itself, but the physical merch around it has turned out to be very leaky.

The full GTA 6: The Album tracklist

The album is a double LP, so the songs are split across four sides. Tracks marked as already out were released as singles or featured in an official trailer before the leak.

Tracklist as confirmed by Billboard and Rolling Stone. “Already out” means released as a single or heard in an official trailer before the leak.

Count the badges and you get ten songs that were already public, between the rolling singles campaign and two trailers (Flower in a Hurricane in the launch trailer, Blood in Your Eyes in the preload trailer). That means the leak revealed 24 songs nobody had heard of, including every one of the biggest pop names on the record.

What kind of record GTA 6 is making

Older GTA soundtracks were mostly about licensing: Rockstar picked songs that already existed and built radio stations around them. The Album is different. These are original recordings made for the game, meant to sound like Vice City and Leonida in 2026, and the mix of artists tells you a lot about how Rockstar sees its version of Florida.

Hip-hop is the backbone, which makes sense for a game set in a fictional Miami. Side B in particular reads like a Southern rap playlist, and Florida is well represented: Kodak Black grew up in Broward County and JT is one half of Miami’s City Girls. Trina and Trick Daddy, two of the city’s biggest rap names, are hosting one of the in-game radio stations too.

The Latin presence is just as deliberate. Rauw Alejandro and Jhayco bring reggaeton from Puerto Rico, Fuerza Regida brings regional Mexican, and Kali Uchis and Omar Apollo cover the dreamier, bilingual end of things. In a game about a place where Spanish is part of everyday life, a soundtrack without that would have felt wrong.

Then there are the curveballs. Michael McDonald, the voice of the Doobie Brothers, opens the album on a Justice track. Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones turns up with Bright Lights, Big City. And the closer, Overtown Lights, brings together jazz bassist Stanley Clarke, drummer Yussef Dayes and pianist Robert Glasper on a song named after one of Miami’s oldest Black neighborhoods. It is a classy way to end a record that also has a song called Sexy Magic.

Lana Del Rey’s GTA connection

Of all the new names, Lana Del Rey gave the best quote. She told Rolling Stone that part of what made the project special was personal: “One of the coolest things about this is the fact that the first time some of our family got to LA they actually knew the roads because of playing the game.” Anyone who spent too many hours in GTA 5’s Los Santos knows exactly what she means.

Her song, Crazy for You, shares its title with a track that has been sitting in her unreleased vault for more than a decade, so fans are already wondering whether this is that song finally getting a proper release or something brand new with an old name. Lana is also one of the artists hosting a radio station in the game.

The album is only one part of GTA 6’s music

It is easy to mix up the different music releases, so here is how they fit together. The Album is the collection of original songs. The radio stations are what you actually hear while driving, and they will carry a much bigger pile of licensed music, old and new. And the score by Justice, the French electronic duo, is the music that plays during missions and story moments.

The six GTA 6 radio stations revealed so far

Stations and host names as previewed by Rockstar. Billboard and Rolling Stone also list Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey and members of Slayer among the artists curating stations.

Flash FM is a nice nod for longtime fans, since it was the pop station in the original Vice City back in 2002. The trailers have also given away a lot of licensed music, from Phil Collins’ Against All Odds and Def Leppard’s Love Bites in the extended Netflix preview to Tom Petty’s Love Is a Long Road in the very first trailer. There is a quality of life upgrade too: for the first time, Jason and Lucia can listen to radio and podcasts on foot through earbuds connected to their phones, so you are not stuck in silence the moment you leave a car.

Where to buy the GTA 6 album, and what it costs

When Rockstar and Atlantic Records announced the album in September, pricing was $19.98 for the CD, $49.98 for the standard vinyl and $124.98 for a limited liquid-filled vinyl that sold out in under an hour. That last one caused a stir, because it costs more than the game’s own Ultimate Edition and the game itself is not even sold on a disc. We broke down the GTA 6 album pricing and the backlash at the time.

If you still want a copy, Billboard says the album is going to Blood Records, Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, Urban Outfitters and independent record stores. Each retailer gets its own exclusive vinyl pressing with a unique design and poster, which is great news for collectors and slightly terrifying news for their wallets.

What we still don’t know

The biggest open question is how much of the in-game music is still under wraps. Rockstar has only shown six stations, and GTA games have historically shipped with far more than that. The publisher has also not said whether every album track lands on the radio or whether some are tied to specific missions and moments. We will find out the easy way on Thursday.

Leaks have pretty much defined the last stretch before GTA 6’s launch, and Rockstar clearly is not thrilled about it. Still, as leaks go, this is a friendly one. Nobody’s story got spoiled, the artists get a bit of extra hype, and fans get four days to build a playlist. Whether you are a Side B rap person or a Side D jazz and funk person, the record seems to have a station for you. And if you are worried about how it will all look, not just sound, our breakdown of GTA 6’s 30 FPS lock on consoles covers what to expect on your hardware.
