What it means for players
The singles are the first original GTA 6 music you can stream today, and the numbers show the game’s pull reaching well past gamers: a Rolling Stone saw the biggest jump in profile views. The album is still not the in-game radio. Rockstar says details on the radio and dynamic score are to come, and no Spotify feature inside the game has been announced.
Formats, prices and the tracklist are on GTA 6: The Album, and every song confirmed so far, trailers included, is on GTA 6 songs. The announcement itself is covered in our album news story, and the radio picture is on GTA 6 music. Everything lands with the game on November 19.
