Grand Theft Auto VI: The Original Score Is Up for Preorder
Looking to secure your copy of the official soundtrack for one of the most anticipated games in history? You can now complete your Grand Theft Auto VI Original Score preorder on vinyl or CD to enjoy three hours of original music created by Grammy Award-winning electronic duo Justice.
The musical legacy of the Grand Theft Auto franchise has always been a massive part of its cultural impact. From iconic radio stations to atmospheric ambient themes, music sets the tone for every journey through Vice City and beyond. For the upcoming installment, Rockstar Games has partnered with the acclaimed French electronic music duo Justice to compose a massive, multi-hour musical experience.
If you are a physical media collector, music enthusiast, or hardcore GTA fan, preorders are already live for physical editions. Below is a complete, comprehensive guide breaking down every physical format, digital streaming platform, release date, and retailer option available for the upcoming score release.
Where to Preorder the Grand Theft Auto VI Original Score on Vinyl
Physical collectors will be thrilled to learn that the score is receiving a premium vinyl release. This physical format is packaged as an expansive 3 LP vinyl set featuring a high-quality UV gloss finish on the sleeve art. Depending on where you choose to place your preorder, you can select between standard black vinyl and an exclusive limited-edition variant.
Retailer choices for the vinyl edition include:
- Get it at Amazon - Standard Black Vinyl 3 LP Set
- Get it at Justice - Limited Edition Clear Vinyl 3 LP Set
The standard black vinyl version is widely available through Amazon, making it an easy option for buyers looking for standard shipping options. Meanwhile, the webstore hosted directly by Justice offers an exclusive clear vinyl edition. Because this clear variant is labeled as a limited edition, collectors may want to reserve their copy quickly before initial stock allocations sell out.
Where to Preorder the Grand Theft Auto VI Original Score on CD
If compact discs are your preferred physical audio format, a double-disc CD edition is also available to order today. The CD package consists of two discs housed inside an intricate fold-out case that showcases custom GTA 6 artwork and visual imagery.
You can purchase the CD edition from multiple storefronts at slightly different price points:
- Get it at Amazon - Available for $19.98
- Get it at Justice - Available for $19.00
At under twenty dollars across both major storefronts, the two-disc CD collection provides an affordable physical alternative to the 3 LP vinyl set while still delivering the complete album package along with collectible fold-out physical artwork.
GTA 6 Original Score vs GTA 6 The Album: What Is the Difference?
It is important for fans to understand that there are actually two distinct musical releases accompanying the launch of the game. It is easy to confuse the two, so understanding the difference between them will ensure you order the exact product you want.
The release detailed here is titled Grand Theft Auto VI: The Original Score. This collection is a three-hour composition primarily composed and produced by the French electronic duo Justice. It serves as the official score designed to set the atmospheric and cinematic tone for the game itself.
On the other hand, Rockstar Games is also releasing Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. That separate release is a curated soundtrack compilation featuring original standalone songs performed by a broad variety of popular guest musicians and recording artists.
Tracklist Details, Key Singles, and Guest Features
Whichever physical format you decide to select, the core release features 30 main tracks representing three full hours of music created for the game. However, digital listings indicate that the total content footprint is even larger than the core physical tracklist suggests.
According to the official album listing on Apple Music, the inclusion of digital bonus tracks expands the total track count up to 50 songs. This gives fans a huge amount of musical content to explore both inside and outside of the game world.
To give listeners a preview of what to expect, two official singles from the score have already been publicly released for listening:
- "Flower in a Hurricane" - Produced by Justice and featuring prominent guest appearances by Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. This track is prominently showcased in the official game launch trailer.
- "Pusher" - A collaborative electronic track created by Justice featuring acclaimed French DJ and record producer Gesaffelstein.
The lead single "Flower in a Hurricane" gained massive attention upon its initial reveal when it backed the footage in the official launch trailer. That trailer provided fans with dramatic story teases, including glimpses into protagonist Jason's troubled background as well as a steamy shower scene featuring Lucia.
How to Stream the Grand Theft Auto VI Original Score
If you prefer digital streaming over physical vinyl or CD formats, you will not have to miss out on release day. The entire project will arrive on all major digital streaming platforms on December 11.
You can pre-add or pre-save the project on your favorite streaming service right now using the official links below:
- Pre-add on Apple Music
- Pre-save on Spotify
- Pre-save on Amazon Music
- Pre-add on YouTube Music
- Pre-save on Tidal
- Pre-save on Deezer
Pre-adding the album ensures that all 30 core tracks along with the bonus digital material will immediately drop into your library the moment the album releases on December 11.
GTA 6 Game Launch Date, Pre-Load Information, and Platforms
It is worth keeping the calendar timeline in mind when preparing for these releases. The actual Grand Theft Auto VI game itself is scheduled to launch on November 19, nearly a month prior to the official soundtrack score drop on December 11.
The game is available for preorder across current-generation console platforms, specifically PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Players who choose to secure a digital preorder for the game on either platform can look forward to pre-loading game files starting on November 12. Pre-loading allows you to download all necessary software files ahead of time so you can begin playing immediately when servers launch on November 19.
Where to Preorder GTA 6: The Album
As noted earlier, collectors who want the full musical experience will also want to keep an eye on the companion release, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. While the score focuses on atmospheric instrumental compositions by Justice, the companion album collects curated vocal tracks and songs from a wide spectrum of musical genres and artists.
Preorders for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album are also active today across multiple storefronts. Physical collectors should note that this multi-artist album is being released in a frankly distressing number of collectible physical variants, offering a massive array of cover variations and vinyl colorways to choose from.
Whether you choose to grab the 3 LP UV-coated vinyl, pick up the 2-disc fold-out CD, or pre-save the digital tracks on Spotify or Apple Music, locking in your Grand Theft Auto VI Original Score preorder ensures you won't miss out on three hours of world-class music by Justice when December 11 arrives.
