GTA VI: The Official Sound Column in Arrival – 34 Unpublished Brans for Game Excitement
Rockstar Games announced the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, the official soundtrack of the highly anticipated video game Grand Theft Auto VI. The album, which will accompany the release of the game on 19 November 2026, will present 34 new tracks. The musical project brings together a varied cast of artists, ranging from rock, rap, pop, Latin and electronic music, promising a rich and diverse sound experience for fans of the franchise. Among the prominent names already communicated include Keith Richards, a rock legend, with his interpretation of Bright Lights, Big City (a cover of Jimmy Reed's famous blues), and Travis Scott, who contributes with Rhyno, produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo dei Daft Punk. The tracklist also includes Yung Lean in collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin for the track That’s It. Other important contributions come from Morgan Wallen with Last Thing You Need, Rauw Alejandro with Macacoa 2000, and an eclectic collaboration that sees Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso along with PinkPantheress, Fred again and Etienne de Crécy for the song Sexy Magic. The album will be distributed globally on major streaming platforms (Spotify, YouTube Music, Deezer, Apple Music), ensuring wide accessibility. There are also several physical editions: in addition to the classic vinyl and the CD, a limited vinyl version has been announced (official price 124 euros) which has already generated a considerable interest in the secondary market, with some copies in pre-order that are numbered over 500 euros on digital trading platforms. The full tracklist has not yet been spread by Atlantic Records and Rockstar Games, maintaining high expectations among fans. It is underlined that the interpretation of Bright Lights, Big City by Keith Richards creates a bridge between the contemporary musical selection of the album and a more historical and rooted repertoire. The album is already available for preorder in various physical configurations, including exclusive Atlantic Records, a vinyl with liquid and a splatter vinyl. VERDETTO: MISTO L’annuncio della colonna sonora di GTA VI è un esercizio di marketing coraggioso, e non solo per la sua ambizione. La varietà dei generi rappresentati – dal blues storico di Jimmy Reed reinterpretato da Keith Richards al rap contemporaneo di Travis Scott – offre una potenziale ricchezza sonora che si adatta alle diverse ambientazioni del gioco, dalla frenesia delle città a quella selvaggia delle montagne. Il prezzo del vinile splatter, però, solleva dubbi immediati sul mercato secondario e sull’effettiva accessibilità per i fan, suggerendo un potenziale hype artificiale amplificato dalla scarsità percepita. La presenza di artisti di questo calibro – Richards, Scott – conferisce autorevolezza all'album, ma la tracklist incompleta e le edizioni limitate (oltre 500€ per una versione in vinile) alimentano un’ansia che forse è eccessiva, data l’assenza di informazioni concrete sul contenuto reale dei brani. L'interesse per la collaborazione Ca7riel/Paco Amoroso/PinkPantheress et al. promette un elemento di sorpresa, ma resta da vedere se riuscirà a livellare l'effetto hype generato dai nomi più noti.
