Biography
Grand Theft Auto VI (commonly known as GTA 6) is the upcoming highly anticipated open-world action-adventure game developed by Rockstar Games. Set in the fictionalized, sun-soaked state of Leonida (centered around a modernized, neon-lit Vice City), the game is scheduled for global release on November 19, 2026. Following the historic success of its predecessor, GTA VI follows the dual protagonists Lucia and Jason in a gritty, high-stakes story of crime and survival. The game represents a massive leap forward for the franchise, pushing the boundaries of realism, emergent gameplay, and cultural satire.
As a core element of the game's cultural footprint, Rockstar Games has partnered with Atlantic Records to curate a era-defining sonic identity. Officially announced in September 2026, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album will launch alongside the game, featuring 34 original, brand-new tracks from a genre-spanning lineup of global superstars. The project bridges the gap between contemporary hip-hop, electronic dance music, pop, country, and rock, serving as a massive milestone for the people tracking the game's expansive musical ecosystem. Ahead of the game's launch, six massive debut singles were released to streaming services: "RHYNO" by Travis Scott (produced by Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo), "That's It" by Yung Lean featuring Future & Metro Boomin, "Sexy Magic" by CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso with PinkPantheress, Fred again.., and Étienne de Crécy, "Last Thing You Need" by Morgan Wallen, "Macacoa 2000" by Rauw Alejandro, and "Bright Lights, Big City" by Keith Richards.
