Ski Mask the Slump God publicly stated his music and XXXTentacion's tracks will feature in Grand Theft Auto 6. Rockstar has not confirmed any GTA 6 soundtrack details.
Ski Mask the Slump God went on Instagram (the story was later uploaded and reposted on X) and said that Grand Theft Auto fans will hear his music and XXXTentacion's tracks while driving around Vice City come November when Grand Theft Auto 6 launches. He tied the inclusion directly to the game's Florida setting, arguing that artists from the South Florida SoundCloud scene belong on a Vice City soundtrack the same way Miami bass belonged on the original.
Rockstar Games has not confirmed any soundtrack details. Radio station reveals historically come late in the promotional cycle, and nothing about GTA 6's music has been officially announced.
That said, the cultural logic of the claim is hard to argue with.

GTA 6 is set in Leonida, a fictionalized version of Florida with Vice City as its urban core. The game launches on November 19, 2026.
If Rockstar follows its historical approach to soundtrack curation, the radio stations will reflect the cultural identity of the setting. Miami bass defined the original Vice City in 2002. Synth-pop and new wave defined Vice City Stories. For a modern Vice City set in the 2020s, the South Florida SoundCloud rap wave that XXXTentacion and Ski Mask the Slump God pioneered is as culturally essential to the region's musical identity as anything that came before it.

Open this market in The BookieXXXTentacion and Ski Mask emerged from Broward County in 2015 and 2016 as part of the Members Only collective. Their sound, distorted 808s, scream-rap, and an aggressive energy that alternated between chaotic and introspective, defined a generation of internet-era rap that was rooted specifically in South Florida. XXXTentacion was killed in June 2018 in Deerfield Beach, Florida. His music has continued to chart and stream posthumously. Including his tracks in GTA 6 would serve as a recognition of his lasting influence on the culture GTA 6's world is built to reflect.
Potential Tracks for GTA 6
| Track | Artist(s) | Why It Fits |
|---|---|---|
"Take a Step Back" | XXXTentacion and Ski Mask | Their most iconic collaboration; high-energy, chaotic; perfect for open-world mayhem |
"Look At Me!" | XXXTentacion | The song that broke X mainstream; raw and aggressive; synonymous with the SoundCloud era |
"Vice City" | XXXTentacion | The title alone makes it almost too obvious for a Vice City game |
"SAD!" | XXXTentacion | His biggest commercial hit; 2 billion+ Spotify streams; the introspective contrast |
"RIP Roach" | XXXTentacion | Early underground track; Broward County energy |
Tracks from Stokeley era | Ski Mask the Slump God | Playful, high-tempo, Florida energy; fits the radio station variety format |
"Vice City" by XXXTentacion appearing on a radio station in a game set in Vice City would be the kind of detail that Rockstar's music supervisors live for.
The NDA question is the caveat that the community is already debating. If Ski Mask has signed an agreement with Rockstar for soundtrack licensing, publicly confirming that agreement before Rockstar's own announcement would violate any standard non-disclosure provision.
Either Ski Mask does not have an NDA (which would be unusual for a Rockstar soundtrack deal), or he has one and is ignoring it (which carries contractual risk), or his statement is based on conversations that have not yet resulted in a formal agreement (which means the inclusion is not guaranteed).
Rockstar's soundtrack curation has historically been one of the most carefully guarded aspects of the marketing rollout. The radio station reveals for Grand Theft Auto V were treated as standalone announcements, each station getting its own press cycle. The GTA 6 soundtrack reveal, whenever it comes, will follow the same approach. If XXXTentacion and Ski Mask are on the soundtrack, Rockstar will announce it on Rockstar's terms, through Rockstar's channels, as part of a broader radio station rollout that generates its own news cycle.
Ski Mask's comment is the strongest unofficial indicator the community has received about the GTA 6 soundtrack, and the conversation it has generated you something about the cultural gravity of GTA 6: a major artist publicly claiming association with the game generates more excitement than most games generate with their entire marketing campaigns.
