With Grand Theft Auto VI just hours from opening for pre-load, the leaks have started. The latest is the game's main menu background music, the track that will play whenever you sit on the title screen.
The game is already on PlayStation's servers
GTA VI has reportedly been uploaded to PlayStation's store backend, so the files are staged and ready to go out to players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. That has given people with the technical know-how a first look at what's inside, and the menu theme is the first piece of content to surface.
Where the music came from
The track was revealed by Razed, the modder known for NaturalVision Evolved and NaturalVision Enhanced, the graphics overhauls for GTA V. A clip of the music, labeled as the PS5 home screen background music, is now circulating on X.
Who made it?
Rockstar hasn't said who composed the piece. Some fans are convinced it's the work of Woody Jackson, who scored GTA V, based purely on how it sounds. Jackson hasn't been confirmed as part of GTA VI's music team, so that remains speculation. Rockstar has previously announced Justice's Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score, which adds to the question of who is behind this particular track.
Why it matters
Menu music tends to define a GTA game's identity. It's the first thing you hear on launch day, and the series has a long history of themes that become instantly recognizable. Whatever you make of this one, expect to hear it a lot.
What's next
Pre-load opens at midnight local time on November 10 on PS5, with Xbox Series X|S following at 12 a.m. GMT. Code-in-box physical copies are expected to be available from November 12, and the game launches on November 19. After more than a decade of waiting, it's starting to feel real.
What do you make of the track, and do you think it's Woody Jackson's work? Let us know in the comments.
