GTA 6 Soundtrack & Radio Stations
Last updated: July 2026
Rockstar has officially confirmed a handful of GTA 6 songs through its two trailers, and one returning radio station — V-Rock — but the full tracklist won’t arrive until launch. Based on the trailers and Rockstar’s history, GTA 6 is shaping up to have one of the largest, most ambitious soundtracks in gaming, spanning 1980s Miami nostalgia, modern hip-hop, Latin, Caribbean, country, and more. Below is every confirmed song and station, the credible rumors, and what to expect — clearly separated.
Key Facts
| Confirmed songs | 6 (revealed through Trailers 1 & 2) |
|---|---|
| Confirmed radio station | V-Rock (returning from GTA Vice City) |
| Full tracklist | Revealed at launch (November 19, 2026) |
| Expected scale | One of the largest game soundtracks ever (GTA V had 240+ songs / 17 stations) |
| Genres | 80s synth/new wave, hip-hop/trap, Latin, Caribbean kompa, country, EDM |
| Rumored artists | T-Pain, Panama and others (self-reported, unconfirmed) |
Confirmed GTA 6 Songs (From the Trailers)
Every song Rockstar has ever used in a GTA trailer has gone on to appear in the game, so these trailer tracks are as close to confirmed as it gets. The songs revealed so far:
| Song | Artist | Featured in |
|---|---|---|
| Love Is a Long Road | Tom Petty | Trailer 1 |
| Thunder Island | Jay Ferguson | Trailer 2 |
| Child Support | Zenglen | Trailer 2 |
| Everybody Have Fun Tonight | Wang Chung | Trailer 2 |
| Talkin' to Myself Again | Tammy Wynette | Trailer 2 |
| Hot Together | The Pointer Sisters | Trailer 2 |
The selection is classic Rockstar — synth-pop, new wave, country, and Haitian kompa all represented. Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road,” a 1989 track, famously saw a roughly 37,000% spike in Spotify streams after appearing in Trailer 1, showing how much reach the series has even before launch. (An “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll”-style cover was also heard in an in-trailer Ammu-Nation ad, though the exact version isn’t confirmed.)
Confirmed Radio Stations
So far, one radio station is confirmed: V-Rock — the iconic rock station returning from the original GTA Vice City (2002). Its return was confirmed when Jason was shown wearing a V-Rock t-shirt in promotional footage. Rockstar hasn’t officially announced the rest of the station lineup yet, but GTA 6 is expected to feature a wide spread of stations across genres, likely with a radio wheel similar to GTA V for switching on the fly.
Rumored Artists & Stations (Unconfirmed)
Plenty of names are circulating, but Rockstar hasn’t confirmed any of these — treat them as rumor:
- T-Pain — the strongest self-reported candidate, after he said Rockstar asked him to stop appearing on GTA roleplay servers during development (implying a formal relationship).
- Panama, Ski Mask the Slump God, Neon Indian, ScHoolboy Q, Skrilla — connected to the game by various sources, but not confirmed.
- Artist-specific stations — producer Jermaine Dupri claimed GTA 6 could feature personal, artist-run radio stations (citing Drake) used to premiere new music. Intriguing, but unconfirmed.
- DJ Khaled station and a Joe Rogan-style podcast parody — leak/rumor-level talk only.
How Big Will the GTA 6 Soundtrack Be?
Expect it to be enormous. GTA V launched with over 240 licensed songs across 17 radio stations, and the GTA Online library eventually pushed past 750. GTA 6 is widely expected to match or exceed that scale — reporting describes it as potentially one of the most comprehensive musical curations in entertainment, drawing on Miami and South Florida’s music scene. The full soundtrack likely rolls out over time rather than all at launch.
Music in the GTA 6 Story
Music isn’t just background in GTA 6 — it’s woven into the narrative. Trailer 2 introduced the NINE1NINE nightclub and two characters tied to the music business, Boobie Ike and Dre’Quan Priest (linked to the Only Raw Records scene), suggesting missions and storylines that revolve around Vice City’s music, nightclub, and entertainment industry. See our Characters page for their profiles.
