As vinyl enjoys a resurgence in interest and availability, it’s no small wonder that the publisher of Grand Theft Auto V is creating a special boxed set of tunes on physical media.
The six-disc vinyl and three-disc CD box sets will include 59 tracks from the game, including the original score, songs from the in-game radio stations (including real recording artists like A$AP Rocky and Tyler), and even some new content from DJs in the game, including Big Boy, DJ Pooh, Nathan and Stephen from WAVVES, Kenny Loggins, Twin Shadow and Cara Delevingne. The soundtrack is already available digitally through iTunes, but the new collection will come out on CD and vinyl in a 5,000 copy collector’s edition run. You’ll be able to grab a copy starting Decemebr 9, though no price point has been revealed.
Grand Theft Auto V was released in September of last year for the then-current PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and is the first main entry in the series since 2008’s Grand Theft Auto IV. GTA V is set in San Andreas — a stand in for southern California — and follows the story of three criminals trying to get away with heists while being hounded by the government. You can explore the entirety of San Andreas, which also includes a stand in for Los Angeles, Los Santos.
The crime-celebrating open-world game is coming to the new Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles on November 18th, and the new physical soundtrack, a collaboration with Mass Appeal records, is a way to capitalize on the release of the game.
