When does the GTA 6 Original Score release?

Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score releases on 11 December 2026, Rockstar announced on its

Newswire on 29 October. The album will be available on all major streaming services the same day, with CD and vinyl editions shipping around the same date. Rockstar issued the announcement at 1pm GMT on 29 October, alongside the new single "Pusher".

The date puts the score three weeks after the game. Grand Theft Auto VI launches on 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, so players will hear the music in Leonida first and get the standalone album in December. Justice will also play a DJ set at Simifest in Mexico City on 5 December, a week before the album lands.

What is on the GTA 6 Original Score album?

The album collects the music Justice composed for GTA 6, built around the story of protagonists Jason and Lucia. It carries 30 tracks on the physical editions, plus a number of digital bonus tracks across formats, for a total of roughly three hours of music. Justice members Gaspard Auge and Xavier de Rosnay created the score in close collaboration with Rockstar, and the music is designed to respond to gameplay as players move through Leonida.

Two tracks have been previewed so far. "Flower in a Hurricane", released earlier in October, features Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and serves as the launch trailer theme. "Pusher", released on 29 October with the album announcement, features fellow French electronic artist Gesaffelstein, and marks the first time Justice and Gesaffelstein have collaborated. The track leans toward the instrumental side of the score, and its composers are credited as Xavier de Rosnay, Gaspard Auge and Mike Levy, better known as Gesaffelstein.

Justice are Grammy-winning artists, and Rockstar hand-picked the duo for the score. The album is released through Because Music, Ed Banger Records and Rockstar Games. The score's adaptive design is the detail that matters most for players: rather than a fixed soundtrack, the music shifts with what happens in game, which is why the standalone album runs to three hours for a single playthrough's worth of cues.

What formats and prices are available for the GTA 6 score?

The Original Score comes as a 2-CD set and a 3-LP vinyl set, with pre-orders open now through retailers including Rough Trade. The vinyl editions include a limited Triple Crystal Clear pressing alongside a standard black pressing. Reported prices from Rough Trade list the standard 3LP black vinyl at $54.99 and the 2CD set at $21.99, with dispatch around the December launch date.

Streaming listeners need no pre-order: the album lands on major streaming services on 11 December, with digital bonus tracks included across formats. Players in the UK and USA should check their local retailer listings for exact pricing in pounds and dollars, since reported prices so far come from US listings and may vary by region. No deluxe box set beyond the vinyl variants has been announced.

Is the Original Score the same as GTA VI: The Album?

No, and the distinction matters. Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score is Justice's composed score for the game, and it releases on 11 December. GTA VI: The Album is a separate release: a 34-track collection of licensed artist tracks that arrives with the game on 19 November. One is the music written for the game, the other is the music featured in it.

Confusing the two is easy because both were announced in the run-up to launch and both carry the GTA VI name, but they serve different purposes. The Original Score is what players will hear underscoring missions and exploration in Leonida. The Album collects the licensed songs on the game's radio stations and in its world. If you want the Justice score, 11 December is the date; if you want the licensed track collection, it arrives with the game on 19 November.

Why the GTA 6 score matters before launch

The score announcement is one of the last big pre-launch reveals before GTA 6 arrives, and it shows how much of the game's identity Rockstar has built around music. Justice's involvement was known, but the full album details, the Gesaffelstein collaboration, and the December date were not confirmed until 29 October. For fans tracking every official announcement ahead of launch, the score joins a busy final stretch that includes the latest GTA 6 screenshots and footage and the Circana finding that 29% of US gamers plan to buy GTA 6.

For players deciding what to buy, the practical split is straightforward. The game itself arrives on 19 November for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with full details on GTA 6's release date, price, map and characters. The Original Score follows on 11 December for listeners who want the music on its own. Pre-orders for the CD and vinyl are live now for collectors who want the physical editions, while streaming listeners can simply wait for 11 December.
