GTA 6 Soundtrack and Radio Stations: Every Confirmed Track

In a GTA game, the radio isn’t background noise, it’s a character in its own right. Rockstar hasn’t published the GTA 6 tracklist yet, but the two official trailers have already dropped six tracks, brought V-Rock back into the conversation via a t-shirt, and sent clear signals about what genres are in store. Here’s what’s solid, and what’s still speculation.

Six Tracks Already Heard in the Trailers

Everything we know for certain comes from the trailers, meaning footage signed off by Rockstar. The very first trailer, in December 2023, opened with “Love is a Long Road” by Tom Petty (1989), a choice that immediately set the game’s americana tone. Trailer 2, in May 2025, was far more generous: it features “Hot Together” by The Pointer Sisters (1986), “Thunder Island” by Jay Ferguson (1977), “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” by Wang Chung (1986), “Talkin’ To Myself Again” by Tammy Wynette, and “Child Support” by Haitian group Zenglen.

Six songs, four distinct worlds already: classic rock, late-seventies and eighties synth-pop, country, and Caribbean kompa. That’s the series’ signature move: cast a wide net so every drive feels like a different channel.

V-Rock Is Back, a Nod to Vice City

The detail that had fans losing their minds wasn’t a song, it was a piece of clothing. In Trailer 2, Jason is wearing a t-shirt featuring a redesigned V-Rock logo. For anyone who knows the series, that’s a massive signal: V-Rock was the rock station of the original Vice City in 2002, specializing in ’80s hair metal and glam, hosted by the legendary Lazlow, and instantly recognizable by its vulture mascot.

That said, no radio station has been officially confirmed at this point. The t-shirt could signal V-Rock’s return, or it could just be a vintage prop, a wink at Vice City’s past. Given the station’s nostalgic weight, betting on its return still seems like the most reasonable call.

A Country Station Brings Back a Missing Genre

Tammy Wynette’s inclusion isn’t a throwaway pick. A country station in GTA 6 would mark the return of a genre absent since K-Rose, San Andreas’s backwoods station back in 2004. Leonida’s setting, with its rural Florida landscapes, swamps, and back-country stretches, is a perfect fit, reaching well beyond Vice City’s neon-soaked surface. That tracks with the map Rockstar has revealed, whose regions we break down in our overview of the Leonida map.

Haitian Kompa, the Sound of Miami’s DNA

The choice of Zenglen, a Haitian kompa group, says a lot about the game’s cultural ambition. Vice City is a stand-in for Miami, a city where the Cuban and Haitian diasporas have enormous weight. Slipping some kompa on while Jason drives isn’t a random playlist moment: it roots the soundtrack in the reality of South Florida, just like Radio Espantoso did for Latin jazz back in 2002.

DJ Khaled on the Air? The Rumor, Separately

This is the least solid piece of information in the mix. A leaker better known for Call of Duty, not GTA, claimed that DJ Khaled would be hosting his own station and playing his own tracks on it. Neither Rockstar nor any reliable specialist outlet has confirmed it, so we’re filing it under Rumor. It’s not a crazy fit, the producer is a Miami figure and the series has previously handed stations to real artists. But until something official comes out, it belongs in the same pile as the countless fake leaks circulating around the game.

Why the GTA Soundtrack Matters This Much

Radio has been a foundational mechanic of the series since GTA III in 2001, which introduced the first talk radio format with Chatterbox FM and the first player-customizable station. GTA V alone featured around twenty stations. The cultural impact goes way beyond the game: Trailer 2 broke the all-time views record with 475 million in 24 hours, topping the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer, and The Pointer Sisters’ “Hot Together” jumped 182,000% on Spotify in its wake. A GTA soundtrack is a Billboard chart that rewrites itself.

Rockstar has signaled that its full marketing push will kick off in the summer of 2026, ahead of the console launch set for November 19, 2026 (Grand Theft Auto VI). The detailed tracklist and full station lineup will likely drop around that time. Until then, these six tracks and that V-Rock t-shirt are the only certainties.

Will V-Rock be in GTA 6?

The redesigned V-Rock logo appears on a t-shirt worn by Jason in Trailer 2. It's a strong hint, given that the iconic rock station from the original Vice City is a pillar of the series, but Rockstar hasn't officially confirmed any radio stations yet.

Will DJ Khaled have his own radio station in GTA 6?

A leaker made that claim, but it has not been confirmed by Rockstar or any credible GTA source. Treat it as a rumor, even if it fits the game's Miami setting.
