GTA 6: The Album on vinyl and CD — the three physical editions, and what is different inside each one
The Rockstar Store describes three physical versions of Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album — a standard weight black double vinyl, a transparent magenta double vinyl with blue splatter, and a CD in a jewel case with an inside booklet — all carrying the same 34 original tracks.
Last updated
If you want the record on a shelf and not only in a streaming library, the first question is how many versions there are. On the Rockstar Store album page, four SKUs of the album were counted when the page was read, with availability starting on November 19, 2026.
Three of those listings carry a physical description of their own: a standard weight black double vinyl, a transparent magenta double vinyl with blue splatter, and a CD in a jewel case. The Rockstar Store sells all three with the same 34 original tracks.
That is where the decision actually sits. The music does not change between them, so what you are picking is the object — the colour of the disc, the weight of the pressing, the booklet. What follows reads each description on its own terms and adds nothing to it.
The standard black double vinyl
The Rockstar Store description for the standard vinyl edition says the album carries 34 original tracks that capture the electric energy of Grand Theft Auto VI’s world of Vice City and Leonida, with a genre-defying roster of the most exciting artists in the world, pressed on two standard weight black vinyl records.
Two records, standard weight, black. That is a plain double LP, and the listing text promises nothing beyond the pressing itself.
The transparent magenta vinyl with blue splatter
The second vinyl listing on the Rockstar Store repeats the same sentence about the 34 original tracks word for word and changes only its closing clause: it comes with two transparent magenta discs with blue splatter.
So the stated difference between the two vinyl editions is the colour and the transparency of the discs. No extra song, no extra packaging. Whether that is worth paying differently for is something the listing text does not settle.
The CD in a jewel case
The CD is the only one of the three whose Rockstar Store description names something beyond the discs: it features the full album audio CD, plus an inside booklet showcasing the official album artwork, in a jewel case.
The booklet is the one piece of printed matter named anywhere in the three descriptions. If the artwork matters to you as much as the music does, that is where the listing text points.
What is word-for-word identical across the three
The opening sentence is the same in all three Rockstar Store descriptions: 34 original tracks that capture the electric energy of Grand Theft Auto VI’s world of Vice City and Leonida, with a genre-defying roster of the most exciting artists in the world. Only the final clause of each description changes.
- Standard vinyl, on the Rockstar Store: two standard weight black vinyl records.
- Magenta vinyl, on the Rockstar Store: two transparent magenta discs with blue splatter.
- CD, on the Rockstar Store: the full album audio CD plus an inside booklet with the album artwork, in a jewel case.
Read as a set, the three lines are a single sentence with three different endings. That is the whole catalogue difference, as written.
When the physical editions become available
The Rockstar Store album page marks availability as starting on November 19, 2026 — the same day the game arrives — and four SKUs of the album were counted on that page during collection.
That count is what the page listed when it was read, not a tally of editions given out by Rockstar. Three of them carry the physical descriptions above; what separates the remaining listing is not spelled out on the page.
Where this page stops
This site covers what the record is, and the songs named so far, on separate pages. This one is only about the object you would put on a shelf.
