IGN reports that GTA VI: The Original Score is available to preorder on CD and vinyl, with 30 tracks from Justice and a December 11 release.
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Original Score is now available to preorder on CD and vinyl, according to IGN. The release is a three-hour collection centered on new music from the French electronic duo Justice, with 30 listed tracks and additional digital bonus material described in the album listing.
IGN reports that the physical score is scheduled for release on December 11, following the game's reported November 19 launch. Two songs have been released so far: Flower in a Hurricane, which features Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, and Pusher, featuring French DJ and producer Gesaffelstein.
IGN identifies Justice as the primary act behind Grand Theft Auto VI: The Original Score. The publisher describes the project as a compilation containing 30 songs and approximately three hours of material from the game. That makes it a substantial music release rather than a short promotional tie-in, although the available information does not explain how the score will be used during play.
The two currently available tracks provide the clearest indication of the project's credited contributors. IGN reports that Flower in a Hurricane is a Justice song featuring Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. The track appeared in the launch trailer, according to IGN. The second released song, Pusher, is by Justice and features Gesaffelstein.
The 30-song count applies to the official track listing described by IGN. The same report notes that the score also includes a number of digital bonus tracks. IGN says the listing on Apple Music appears to indicate a total of 50 songs when that bonus material is included, but the report does not establish whether every song in that larger figure is fully detailed or whether the number represents the final digital lineup.
That distinction matters for anyone comparing the physical editions with the digital release. The confirmed physical count is 30 songs, while the broader digital total remains based on the Apple Music listing cited by IGN. Until a complete, final tracklist is published, the exact identity and availability of the bonus material remain unconfirmed.
IGN reports that the vinyl edition is a three-LP set with a UV gloss finish. Amazon is listing a black-vinyl version, while the Justice storefront is offering a limited-edition clear-vinyl version, according to IGN. The report does not provide a production quantity for the clear edition, so its availability beyond the description as limited edition is not confirmed here.
The CD edition contains two discs, IGN reports. It comes in a fold-out case featuring imagery associated with GTA VI. The source describes the package as intricate, but it does not specify the dimensions, booklet contents, or whether the CD set contains the same material as the vinyl edition beyond the stated 30-song score.
Preordering gives listeners a choice between a standard-looking black-vinyl option, a clear-vinyl variant tied to the Justice storefront, and the two-disc CD package. Analysis: the formats appear designed to serve different priorities. Vinyl buyers are choosing among physical presentation options, while CD buyers receive a more compact two-disc package. The source does not confirm whether any format includes exclusive music, so shoppers should not assume that the color or packaging changes the audio content.
IGN also reports that the score can be pre-added on streaming services for listeners who would rather access it digitally when it becomes available. The report does not list the full range of supported services or confirm whether the digital bonus tracks will be available on every platform. Those details will need to be checked against the final listings closer to release.
One of the most important pieces of context in IGN's report is the distinction between Grand Theft Auto VI: The Original Score and Grand Theft Auto 6: The Album. IGN describes The Original Score as a release primarily associated with Justice, while The Album is a separate project featuring original songs from a variety of musicians.
Both projects are connected to the same game, but the source does not present them as interchangeable editions of one soundtrack. IGN reports that The Album is also available to preorder and has multiple variants. It does not provide a complete artist list, tracklist, format breakdown, or release date for that separate project in the supplied coverage.
Analysis: the split could be relevant to players trying to understand what kind of music they are buying. The Original Score is presented as a focused Justice-led compilation, whereas The Album is described as a broader multi-artist release. That suggests the two records may have different purposes, but the available evidence does not confirm how either album maps onto the in-game radio, missions, trailers, menus, or other parts of GTA VI.
Players should therefore treat the names as a basic guide rather than proof of how the music functions in the game. A record labeled as an original score might be expected to serve a different role from a collection of licensed or newly commissioned songs, but IGN's report does not describe the game's audio systems or explain where these tracks will be heard.
For players interested in GTA VI's musical identity, the score provides an early, concrete part of the game's presentation to follow outside the game itself. IGN has confirmed two tracks and identified several high-profile collaborators, giving listeners a limited preview of the release before the complete collection arrives.
Analysis: the three-hour length also means the music may become a meaningful part of how players remember the game, especially if the score is used across major sequences or recurring activities. That is an interpretation, not a confirmed description of the game's structure. The source only establishes the approximate amount of music and the physical and digital release plans.
The timing may also affect how fans approach the release. IGN reports a December 11 album date and a November 19 game date, placing the score after the game's reported launch. Players could encounter the game before owning or streaming the complete collection, but the source does not confirm whether all of the tracks will already be available in-game at launch or whether the album release reflects a separate rollout.
The two songs already released serve a different role from the remaining material. Flower in a Hurricane is already tied to the launch trailer, while Pusher offers another collaboration from Justice. Analysis: these tracks establish a public-facing introduction to the project, but they are not enough to define the sound of all 30 songs. The unreleased material could broaden the collection considerably, and there is currently no complete evidence to predict its style, structure, or placement.
The complete tracklist is the most obvious next piece of evidence to watch. IGN confirms 30 official songs and notes a possible 50-song digital total, but the supplied report does not identify every track, contributor, or bonus item. A final listing would clarify the difference between the physical editions and streaming versions.
The role of the music inside GTA VI is also unconfirmed. IGN's report does not say whether the songs are a traditional score, radio material, mission music, or a combination of those categories. It also does not explain whether Justice created all of the underlying score or whether other composers contributed to the game itself outside this album's credited material.
Release logistics require further confirmation as well. The source reports the December 11 date for the album and the November 19 date for GTA VI, but it does not specify whether the music will launch at the same time in every territory. It also does not provide shipping information, preorder cutoffs, prices, stock levels, or the final availability of the limited-edition clear vinyl.
Finally, the relationship between The Original Score and the separate The Album remains open. IGN confirms that both projects exist and can be preordered, but the supplied coverage does not establish whether they will share songs, arrive on the same schedule, or correspond to different parts of the game's music. Those details will be worth watching as Rockstar Games, Justice, or the relevant retailers publish more complete information.
For now, the confirmed picture is straightforward: IGN reports that Grand Theft Auto VI: The Original Score is a Justice-led, 30-track physical release with CD and vinyl editions, a reported three-hour runtime, two songs already available, and a December 11 release date. The exact tracklist, digital bonus content, and in-game function remain the key unanswered questions.
