GTA 6 radio stations and soundtrack: what we know

By Lorcan Pettifer · Fact-checked by Terrence Abiola · Updated November 4, 2026

Rockstar has named six GTA 6 radio stations so far. Bad Bunny hosts one, Slayer hosts another, and Flash FM returns from Vice City. Two official music releases have dates: the 34-track Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album arrives with the game on 19 November 2026, and Justice’s 30-track Original Score follows on 11 December 2026. This page sorts what Rockstar has confirmed from what leakers and resellers claim, and grades every rumor by its source.

Last updated: 4 November 2026. This page covers Rockstar’s official announcements up to the 29 October Original Score reveal.

GTA 6 radio stations: the short answer

Rockstar revealed six stations on 8 October 2026, each with a real-world host and a short audio preview on the official GTA VI site. That is not the full dial. Rockstar has said more formats are coming and has not given a total station count.

The six confirmed stations cover country, modern Latin, African music, heavy metal, pop and Southern rap. Coverage of the reveal counts three previewed songs per station, so 18 songs in total. Full station tracklists, a station count and radio features such as Self Radio are still unannounced. The two albums are a separate matter. They are companion releases, and Rockstar has not said how much of their music plays on the in-game dial.

What we know

The six confirmed stations and their hosts

Confirmed: Rockstar’s Newswire post “The Music of Grand Theft Auto VI: In-Game Radio Stations” (October 2026) and the game’s official Music page list these six stations. VGC, Forbes, Complex, DJ Mag and Kotaku all reported the same lineup.

Station	Format	Hosts (on-air names)	Status
Back Country Radio	Outlaw country	Morgan Wallen (“MW”) and Lana Del Rey (“Delta Dawne”), with Jeremy Dufrene as Mud Dog Mike	CONFIRMED
Cocoteo FM	Modern Latin	Bad Bunny (“El Martillo”) and RaiNao (“La Gata”)	CONFIRMED
AfroBank FM	African music, including amapiano and 3-step	Burna Boy (“Burna”) and selector Palms Trax (“Palmsy”)	CONFIRMED
The Chamber 106.6	Heavy metal from the 1980s onward	Kerry King and Tom Araya of Slayer (“DJ Kerry” and “DJ Tom”)	CONFIRMED
Flash FM	Pop	Robyn and model Alex Consani	CONFIRMED
Dirty South Classics	Regional rap and hip hop classics	Trick Daddy and Trina	CONFIRMED

Back Country Radio best shows how Rockstar casts its stations. Two chart musicians play versions of themselves. Next to them, Dufrene (Del Rey’s husband) plays an in-world character Rockstar describes as the station’s roving reporter and swamp meteorologist. He is the only host so far voicing a named fictional character rather than an on-air version of himself.

Flash FM is the first returning brand to be confirmed. It played 1980s pop in GTA Vice City in 2002 and now returns as the pop station for a present-day Vice City. Dirty South Classics also fits the setting closely. Trick Daddy and Trina are both Miami rap figures, and a regional rap station in a Miami-based game puts local acts on the air.

Podcasts and radio on foot

Confirmed: Rockstar’s October 2026 radio announcement says GTA VI adds a series of on-demand podcasts, separate from Leonida’s regular radio. Both can be heard in vehicles and on foot.

This is the biggest change to how GTA plays music since Self Radio. In every earlier 3D GTA, radio only played inside a vehicle, with a few exceptions in specific interiors. Phone-connected earbuds let you keep a station playing while you walk around Vice City. Rockstar has not said how many podcasts there are, who hosts them or how they are unlocked.

Stations Rockstar says are still coming

Confirmed: Rockstar’s October 2026 announcement says more stations are on the way, including classic rock, blues, electronic and talk radio formats.

None of the six revealed stations is a classic rock or talk station, so the full dial is clearly larger than six. Rockstar has not named those stations or their hosts and has not dated another reveal. It has also not said whether it will publish the complete list before 19 November or leave it for players to find.

Confirmed songs from the official trailers

Rockstar has released three trailers. Each was built around one piece of music, and the third switched from licensed classics to the game’s own score.

Trailer	Release	Song	Artist	Source of the track	Status
Trailer 1	4 December 2023 (released early after leaking; planned for 5 December)	“Love Is a Long Road”	Tom Petty	1989, Full Moon Fever	CONFIRMED in trailer
Trailer 2	6 May 2025	“Hot Together”	The Pointer Sisters	1986, Hot Together	CONFIRMED in trailer
Launch Trailer	15 October 2026	“Flower in a Hurricane”	Justice ft. Tame Impala, SZA, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard	New single, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album	CONFIRMED in trailer and on The Album

A song in a trailer only confirms that Rockstar licensed it for marketing. It does not confirm a radio placement. Neither the Tom Petty nor the Pointer Sisters track has been confirmed as playable radio content, although Rockstar’s history makes it likely (see What it means). For a beat-by-beat breakdown of all three videos, see our GTA 6 trailer coverage.

“Love Is a Long Road” by Tom Petty

Trailer 1 opens on Lucia in a Leonida prison and cuts to the Vice City she and Jason are about to tear through. The music is “Love Is a Long Road,” an album track from Tom Petty’s first solo record, Full Moon Fever, which Petty co-wrote with Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell. Full Moon Fever had bigger singles in “Free Fallin'” and “I Won’t Back Down,” so Rockstar picked a deep cut.

The trailer leaked as a low-quality video hours before its scheduled debut. Rockstar responded by posting the official version early, on the evening of 4 December 2023, as IGN and The Verge reported at the time. The leak involved only the trailer and revealed no radio content.

“Hot Together” by The Pointer Sisters

Trailer 2 arrived on 6 May 2025, four days after Rockstar announced the first delay. Its song was “Hot Together,” the title track of The Pointer Sisters’ 1986 album. Like the Petty pick, it is a lesser-known track from a famous act, which is better known for “Jump (For My Love)” and “I’m So Excited.” A song about two people burning bright together suits a trailer built around Jason and Lucia’s partnership.

The Launch Trailer and “Flower in a Hurricane”

Confirmed: Rockstar’s Newswire and official trailer page (October 2026) dated the Launch Trailer to 15 October 2026. Both credit Justice as composers of the game’s original score. The trailer debuted “Flower in a Hurricane,” featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Rockstar’s X account gave the same credit on the same day.

Confirmed: VGC reported in October 2026 that Rockstar placed “Flower in a Hurricane” on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. GameSpot reported that the trailer was captured on a base PS5 and carries PlayStation branding.

Happy Gamer wrote that the trailer “went live on Friday, October 23.” That is wrong. Rockstar’s own pages date it 15 October.

Music inside the story: Only Raw Records and Real Dimez

Confirmed: Rockstar’s official GTA VI website introduced several supporting characters alongside Trailer 2 (May 2025), and some of them work in the music industry.

• Dre’Quan Priest runs Only Raw Records, a Vice City label. Rockstar’s profile describes a hustler who moved into the music business.
• Real Dimez are a rap duo, Bae-Luxe and Roxy, connected to Dre’Quan’s label. Their profile describes artists who had a viral moment and are pushing for a bigger career.
• Boobie Ike is a Vice City business figure whose profile ties him to Dre’Quan’s operation.

A storyline built partly around a record label gives Rockstar a clear reason to make original in-world music. Real Dimez tracks turning up on a station such as Dirty South Classics, or in story missions, would fit. That is our inference, and Rockstar has confirmed no such feature.

What Rockstar has not said

Rockstar and Take-Two have not confirmed any of the following as of 4 November 2026:

• The total number of radio stations at launch
• Names or hosts for the classic rock, blues, electronic and talk stations
• Full tracklists for any station, beyond the previewed songs
• Whether V-Rock, Emotion 98.3 or other Vice City brands return besides Flash FM
• Whether Self Radio or a custom music mode returns
• Whether you can skip tracks on standard stations
• Which songs from The Album or the Original Score play on the radio, in missions or in the dynamic score

Rockstar’s longtime music and audio director Ivan Pavlovich has overseen the studio’s licensed soundtracks for years. When it announced The Album in September 2026, Rockstar promised more on the dynamic score and what GameSpot quoted as the “next evolution” of in-game radio. The October station reveal covered part of that promise.

GTA 6 soundtrack album, score and physical editions

There are two separate official releases. Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album is a 34-track collection of new songs from Rockstar and Atlantic Records, out with the game. Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score is Justice’s mostly instrumental score, out about three weeks later.

Release	Date	Tracks	Formats	Preorder prices
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album (Rockstar and Atlantic Records)	19 November 2026	34 new original songs	Streaming, CD, vinyl (three editions on the official site, plus retailer variants)	$125 limited-edition vinyl, $50 standard vinyl, $20 CD (per GameSpot)
Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score (Justice)	11 December 2026	30 tracks plus digital bonus tracks	Streaming, Double CD, triple vinyl, Limited Triple Crystal Clear Vinyl	Not announced in coverage

Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album

Confirmed: Rockstar Games and Atlantic Records announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album on 17 September 2026 (reported by GameSpot, The Source and Music Ally). It contains 34 new, original tracks recorded for the game and releases on 19 November 2026.

Nine singles are public. They came out in three waves:

1. 17 September 2026 (announcement day): “That’s It” by Yung Lean, Future and Metro Boomin; “RHYNO” by Travis Scott; “Sexy Magic” by CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy; “Last Thing You Need” by Morgan Wallen; “Macacoa 2000” by Rauw Alejandro; and “Bright Lights, Big City” by Keith Richards.
2. 8 October 2026: “Suzuki” by Fuerza Regida and “Don’t Chart” by Cardi B. Consequence and Hot 97 reported both, and Cardi B teased hers with a photo of Lucia’s “Baddie” hoodie.
3. 15 October 2026: “Flower in a Hurricane” by Justice, with the Launch Trailer.

That leaves 25 tracks unnamed until release day. Rockstar has not published a running order or said whether more singles will drop before 19 November.

“Recorded for the game” does not tell you which station a song is on. Morgan Wallen, for example, both co-hosts Back Country Radio and has a single on The Album, but Rockstar has not said his song plays on his station. Track the album and the radio lineup separately until Rockstar connects them.

Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score by Justice

Confirmed: Rockstar’s Newswire (October 2026) announced Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score by Justice, the Grammy-winning French duo of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. It has 30 tracks plus digital bonus tracks and arrives on streaming services, CD and vinyl on 11 December 2026.

Confirmed: Rockstar released “Pusher (ft. Gesaffelstein)” on 29 October 2026 as the score’s second single, and its official Music page lists it next to “Flower in a Hurricane.” Rockstar’s Music page offers preorders for a Limited Triple Crystal Clear Vinyl and a Double CD. VGC also lists a standard three-LP vinyl.

VGC describes the score as mainly instrumental. That makes the two featured collaborations the hooks for listeners outside the game. Rockstar has not said how the score maps to missions or locations, or how long the digital bonus material runs.

Spotting fake soundtrack listings

The Album, the Original Score and their physical editions are the only official music releases. Third-party marketplaces sometimes list “GTA 6 radio vinyl” or “complete soundtrack” box sets that are bootlegs, trailer-song compilations or outright scams.

What is rumored

Most of the misinformation sits here. Each claim is graded on our standard scale: official, proven reporter, community or datamine, and anonymous or mixed record.

Claim	Who reported it	Our grade	Our call
Rockstar offered Daft Punk “essentially an unlimited budget” and Justice were second choice	Has It Leaked (X), 19 October 2026	Anonymous or mixed record	RUMOR, single source, unverified
Daft Punk refused because they had no interest in returning	EGW News, attributed to journalist Romain Figueira	Anonymous or mixed record	RUMOR, original report not located
Original Score has 50 tracks	Insider Gaming, citing an Apple Music New Zealand listing	Proven reporter (store-listing sighting)	RUMOR, conflicts with Rockstar’s “30 tracks”
Cardi B is track 19 and Fuerza Regida track 10 on The Album	Social post by “ben/videotech” citing a brief Spotify listing	Anonymous or mixed record	RUMOR, artists matched but order unconfirmed
Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo produced “RHYNO”	GTA BOOM, Techno Airlines	Community	RUMOR, not confirmed by Rockstar
V-Rock returns as a playable station	Trailer 2 imagery and a Xboxygen report on Miami street ads	Community	RUMOR, plausible, not in Rockstar’s station list
A leak group’s list of about 25 radio songs	CyberLeek	Anonymous or mixed record	RUMOR, GameSpot files it as rumored
Celebrity radio hosts appear in the Launch Trailer	Recirculated headlines (JustJared, DANAMIC)	Contradicted by official source	DEBUNKED
Fan “radio player” sites with full station tracklists	Fan sites	Community, not datamined	DEBUNKED as official
The 2022 development leak revealed the soundtrack	Misreading of what the leak showed	Contradicted by reporting	DEBUNKED
“Leaked” AI-generated DJ clips and station idents	Anonymous uploads	No credible source	DEBUNKED

The Daft Punk story

Rumor: On 19 October 2026, the music leak account Has It Leaked claimed that Rockstar pitched Daft Punk’s management a “final comeback” for the GTA VI soundtrack with “essentially an unlimited budget.” According to the post, the duo declined and Justice were Rockstar’s second choice.

Dexerto and Gfinity describe the account’s record on music leaks as decent, and Dexerto, Metro, GTA BOOM and others repeated the claim. Repetition is not corroboration. The claim still has one source. Sunday Guardian Live reported on 20 October that neither Rockstar nor Daft Punk’s representatives had verified it.

Rumor: EGW News adds that the duo refused because they had no interest in returning as Daft Punk, and attributes this to French music journalist Romain Figueira. Other outlets credit the story only to Has It Leaked, and the original Figueira report has not surfaced. Treat that attribution as unreliable.

Daft Punk announced their split in February 2021 with the “Epilogue” video. A declined pitch would leave no public paper trail unless someone involved speaks. The confirmed part is narrower: Justice scored GTA VI, and Rockstar has said so on its Newswire, its X account and its trailer page.

The 50-track score listing

Rumor: Insider Gaming reported in October 2026 that a pre-release Apple Music (New Zealand) listing for the Original Score showed 50 songs, two of them already released. Insider Gaming is a generally reliable outlet and a store listing can be checked. The count still conflicts with Rockstar’s official “30 tracks plus digital bonus tracks.” The bonus material may account for the difference, but nobody has confirmed that. The official figure is 30.

Track order and soundtrack lists

Rumor: Before the 8 October singles came out, a social media user posting as “ben/videotech” claimed Spotify briefly listed Cardi B on track 19 and Fuerza Regida on track 10 of The Album, with no song titles visible. The singles that followed matched those artist names. Rockstar has never confirmed any track positions.

Rumor: The leak group CyberLeek, which reporting links to the August 2026 gameplay footage leaks, published a list of about 25 songs it says come from the soundtrack and radio. GameSpot classes the list as rumored. We do not reproduce leaked material and will not point to it.

V-Rock and other Vice City brands

Rumor: V-Rock, the metal and hard rock station from the 2002 Vice City, is widely expected to return. Outlets point to Jason wearing a V-Rock shirt in Trailer 2, and French outlet Xboxygen reports V-Rock among the stations featured in GTA VI advertising on Miami streets. V-Rock was not one of the six stations Rockstar named on 8 October. With The Chamber 106.6 now covering metal, a returning V-Rock would most likely be the classic rock station Rockstar has promised. That is our read, not a confirmation.

The Launch Trailer “guest stars” mix-up

Several headlines after 15 October said Lana Del Rey, Jeremy Dufrene, Bad Bunny and Morgan Wallen made guest appearances in the Launch Trailer. That is DEBUNKED. Rockstar’s trailer page credits only the Justice single. The four were announced a week earlier as radio hosts and voice cast. One widely shared JustJared piece dated 8 October covered the radio reveal, not the trailer. A DANAMIC headline counting “3 guest stars” in the trailer matches no Rockstar statement.

Fan tracklists, artist claims and the 2022 leak

Fan “radio player” sites still present full GTA VI stations with complete song lists. Rockstar has previewed only a handful of songs per station, so anything longer is a fan wish list or a rebrand of older GTA stations.

Musicians and people close to them sometimes post that a track is “in GTA 6,” then delete the post. Licensing deals at this scale are covered by confidentiality agreements. We treat these claims as anonymous-grade until Rockstar or the artist’s label confirms them, as happened with the nine album singles.

In September 2022 a hacker released early development clips, and Bloomberg and The Verge covered the breach. Rockstar acknowledged it publicly. Reporting on that leak identified no radio tracklist, station names or licensed music, and we will not describe the clips further.

AI-generated “leaks”

Synthetic audio is a growing problem. Fake DJ intros, station jingles and “unreleased tracks” made with AI voice tools are posted on video platforms as leaked GTA VI radio. Some imitate the newly announced hosts. None has a credible source.

What it means

The station reveal confirmed something Rockstar has done since GTA III: real musicians play versions of themselves, with in-world characters added to give a station its personality. The rest of this section is our analysis based on how earlier GTA games handled music.

The dial is built around South Florida

The six confirmed stations closely match what Leonida called for. Cocoteo FM covers Latin music. Dirty South Classics brings in Miami rap through Trick Daddy and Trina. Back Country Radio serves the rural areas north of Vice City, which Rockstar’s site and trailers show alongside the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga. AfroBank FM, with amapiano and 3-step, shows the dial reaches past the usual US formats, as Vladivostok FM did in GTA IV.

Genres that fit Miami and still lack a confirmed station include Miami bass and freestyle, Caribbean styles such as dancehall and kompa, and the club electronica Rockstar has promised. Those are our expectations, not leaks.

Trailer songs usually make it onto the radio

Rockstar has a habit of putting trailer music in the game. The GTA IV trailer “Things Will Be Different” used Philip Glass’s “Pruit Igoe,” which later played on the ambient station The Journey. In GTA V, “Sleepwalking” by The Chain Gang of 1974 appeared in a trailer and then on Radio Mirror Park.

We expect “Love Is a Long Road” and “Hot Together” to be playable. Tom Petty points to the classic rock station Rockstar has promised, and The Pointer Sisters would suit Flash FM or a soul-leaning station. “Flower in a Hurricane” is less certain, because Rockstar files it under both The Album and the score.

Radio features: skip, Self Radio and custom music

On-foot listening is confirmed. Everything else about radio controls is not. In GTA V you cannot skip tracks on standard stations because each one runs like a real broadcast, while Self Radio lets you skip, shuffle and play your own music. On PC that mode reads local files.

GTA VI is announced only for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Console games rarely let you import audio files, so if a custom mode returns at launch it would probably need a streaming service integration, and Rockstar has announced none. Rumor: GamesBeat, citing four anonymous industry sources, claims a PC release in Q1 2027. Rockstar did not comment, and the official platform list has not changed.

Updates could add stations after launch

GTA V’s dial kept growing for years through GTA Online updates. The Lab, Blonded Los Santos 97.8 FM, Los Santos Underground Radio, Kult FM and MOTOMAMI Los Santos all arrived after launch, while some licensed songs were later removed as licenses expired. If GTA VI follows that model, the launch dial is only a starting point. Fixes to music delivery could also arrive in the GTA 6 launch patch that most players will download on day one.

Audio will take up serious storage

Six announced stations, more on the way, voiced hosts, on-demand podcasts and a dynamic score add up to a lot of data. Rockstar has not published the game’s install size. Our GTA 6 file size tracker will report official numbers once preload details appear in the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store listings.

GTA radio history across the series

Radio has been part of the series since GTA III. Here is how the dial changed across the main 3D-era games, using launch versions.

Game	Year	Setting	Stations at launch	Stations fans still talk about
GTA III	2001	Liberty City	9 (including talk station Chatterbox FM)	Flashback 95.6, Head Radio, Lips 106
GTA Vice City	2002	Vice City (1986)	9 (including talk stations VCPR and K-Chat)	Flash FM, V-Rock, Wave 103, Fever 105, Emotion 98.3
GTA San Andreas	2004	San Andreas (1992)	11 (including talk station WCTR)	Radio Los Santos, K-DST, K-Rose, Radio X, Playback FM
GTA IV	2008	Liberty City	19 (including talk stations)	The Vibe 98.8, Liberty Rock Radio, Vladivostok FM, The Journey
GTA V	2013	Los Santos and Blaine County	15 music plus 2 talk stations on PS3 and Xbox 360	Non-Stop-Pop FM, Los Santos Rock Radio, West Coast Classics, FlyLo FM
GTA VI	2026	Leonida and Vice City	6 revealed so far, total Not announced	Flash FM (returning), Cocoteo FM, Back Country Radio

The handheld and Stories games, including Vice City Stories (2006), had their own station lineups and are left out here. The 2021 Definitive Edition remasters removed some songs from Vice City and San Andreas because of licensing, so those two games no longer match their original soundtracks. GTA III’s remaster kept its full original soundtrack. GTA V Enhanced, released for PC in March 2025, carries the expanded dial rather than the 2013 launch lineup.

What the history tells us about GTA 6

Two trends stand out. Station counts jumped once storage stopped being a hard limit, from 9 in 2001 to 19 in 2008. Rockstar also moved toward hosted stations built around a real artist, as with Flying Lotus on FlyLo FM in GTA V. GTA VI makes that the norm, with every confirmed station fronted by a working musician.

With six stations named and at least four more formats promised, a launch dial of ten or more is the minimum the announcements support. Anything near GTA IV’s 19 is our projection, and any exact figure you see quoted is a guess.

How trailer songs move the charts

A GTA placement reliably drives streams. Music press and chart trackers reported sharp rises for “Love Is a Long Road” after Trailer 1 and for “Hot Together” after Trailer 2. We are not quoting figures, because outlets reported different numbers and none came from a primary chart source.

That reach gives Rockstar leverage. For active artists, a placement in front of millions of players is promotion few campaigns can match, and the lineup reflects that: Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey and Morgan Wallen agreed to host stations, and nine album singles came out before the game. For estates and catalog owners, it is new income from recordings that might otherwise sit unplayed. Rockstar’s 2026 approach adds new material on top of the deep cuts. Two companion albums keep the music in circulation from mid-September until after launch, with the score arriving on 11 December.

Where this fits with launch timing

GTA VI is 15 days from release, and its music has been announced in stages: albums in September, stations in October, the score at the end of October. The remaining stations, full tracklists and radio features could come in a pre-launch Newswire post or only once the game is out. GTA 6 reviews, which are expected shortly before or at launch, will probably be the first detailed accounts of the full dial, since reviewers will have played with every station.

Pricing is a separate file, covered by our GTA 6 price tracker. Community trackers are also worth watching. The teams behind GTA 6 mapping projects study trailers and screenshots for billboards and signage, and in-world radio ads are the kind of detail they tend to catch first. Anything they find stays community-grade until Rockstar confirms it.

The next confirmed music intel will be the remaining station names, most likely starting with the promised classic rock and talk formats. Until then, the six stations in the table above are the only verified lineup.
