Pre-load's live and Rockstar dropped a Tove Lo single for the soundtrack
Rockstar put out a short one today: if you pre-ordered GTA 6 digitally, you can start pre-loading right now. Same goes for anyone who went with the code-in-box version, you just activate the code once it shows up and the download kicks off from there. If you haven't pre-ordered yet, well, November 19 is close enough that you're cutting it fine.
Nothing wild in that part of the announcement, but it's a nice reminder that we're actually at the pre-load stage now. Feels like we spent years arguing about whether this game even existed and now people are watching progress bars.
The other half of the post is the music
Rockstar also confirmed a new single called "Blood In Your Eyes" by Tove Lo is on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, which they're calling the official soundtrack. You can pre-save it on the usual streaming services or pre-order it on vinyl or CD, and the single itself is out to listen to now.
I'm into this. GTA soundtracks have always been a big part of the vibe for me, and Vice City especially lives or dies on its music. Tove Lo doing a track for the album makes sense for the setting too. It's the kind of pop-adjacent name that fits a modern Florida radio dial without feeling like they just grabbed whoever was trending.
What I'm curious about
They're calling it the official soundtrack, which usually means it's separate from the in-game radio stations. Whether "Blood In Your Eyes" actually shows up on a station in Leonida or just exists as album material is the question. Plenty of games do soundtrack albums that never touch the actual game audio, and I'd like to know which one this is before I get attached to the idea of hearing it while cruising the Keys.
Either way, more music news is welcome. The marketing has been heavy on tech specs and frame rate arguments lately, so a song drop is a nice change of pace. Pre-loading, a single, and a vinyl pre-order all in one post. Rockstar's clearly shifting into the final stretch.
