Songs in the GTA VI trailers

Confirmed GTA VI radio stations
Grand Theft Auto VI has six officially revealed radio stations covering Latin music, country, African music, metal, pop and southern hip-hop. Rockstar has also confirmed that radio and on-demand podcasts can be heard on foot, using headphones or earbuds connected to the characters' smartphones.23
The six stations below are Rockstar's first featured selection, not the complete radio lineup. This tracker brings them together with the official album, trailer songs and earlier music reports, keeping those different uses of music separate.
Rockstar revealed these stations and hosts on October 8, 2026. Each has a preview on the official music site.23
Confirmed GTA VI Radio Stations
Station | Music | Hosts |
|---|---|---|
Bachata, merengue, dembow and reggaeton | El Martillo and La Gata | |
Country | MW and Delta Dawne | |
African classics, amapiano and 3-step | Burna and Palmsy | |
Metal | DJ Kerry and DJ Tom | |
Pop | Robyn and Alex | |
Southern rap and hip-hop classics | Trick and Trina |
The six featured stations revealed by Rockstar; further stations have yet to be announced.
Radio on foot and on-demand podcasts
Radio is no longer confined to vehicle journeys. Headphones or earbuds connected to the characters' smartphones let players keep listening while walking through Leonida, and the same setup supports podcasts. On-demand podcasts are new to the series, giving Jason and Lucia spoken programmes to choose alongside the music stations.23
Back Country Radio also includes swamp reports from Mud Dog Mike, a roving reporter and swamp meteorologist who broadcasts from an airboat in the Grassrivers. These are part of the country station; Rockstar has not named the separate on-demand podcasts.23 For the announcement and its gameplay implications, see our radio and podcasts news report.
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album
Rockstar has announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, a 34-track collection of original songs launching alongside Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19, 2026. Six singles are already available, while the game's complete radio-station lineup remains unannounced.22 For the named tracks and album editions, see the album reference.
The official album is being produced with Atlantic Records and will launch digitally, on CD and on vinyl. Rockstar has released these first six singles:22
- "That's It" — Yung Lean featuring Future and Metro Boomin
- "RHYNO" — Travis Scott, produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo
- "Sexy Magic" — CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy
- "Last Thing You Need" — Morgan Wallen
- "Macacoa 2000" — Rauw Alejandro
- "Bright Lights, Big City" — Keith Richards
These are confirmed album tracks. Rockstar has not yet said whether any of them will play on an in-game radio station.
The September album announcement preceded October's radio reveal; details of the dynamic score are still to come.22
Radio clues
Other radio clues include a V-Rock logo on Jason's shirt21 and a Vice City FM advertisement shown during Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look3, but neither proves that the corresponding station will be playable.
Radio Clues
- Evidence status:
- Radio clue
Clue | Evidence status | What it establishes |
|---|---|---|
V-Rock logo on Jason's shirt | Radio clue | Jason wears a shirt carrying the V-Rock logo in official promotional material. The clothing reference does not confirm V-Rock as a GTA VI station. 21 |
Vice City FM advertisement | Radio clue | A bus shelter carries the Vice City FM logo during the Extended Look driving sequence. The advertisement confirms that the brand exists in GTA VI's world, but not that Vice City FM will be a playable station. 3 |
A visible clue can support an observation without confirming that the station will return.
Reported, unverified claims
Reported, Unverified Claims
Claim | Evidence status | What was said | Direct source |
|---|---|---|---|
Drake radio station | Reported, unverified | Jermaine Dupri said Drake would have his own station and could supply unreleased music. He did not name GTA VI, and Rockstar and Drake have not confirmed the claim. 20 |
This table retains only claims whose original interview, recording or post can be inspected. It does not treat the claim as Rockstar confirmation.
Direct artist statements
Direct Artist Statements
Artist | Claimed song / contribution | Evidence status | What the evidence establishes | Direct source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
T-Pain | Unspecified | Direct artist statement | T-Pain said he had started working on GTA VI and that Rockstar asked him to stop playing on an RP server; he did not identify his contribution. 4 | |
Ski Mask the Slump God / XXXTentacion | Unspecified tracks | Direct artist statement | Ski Mask said his music and XXXTentacion's music would be heard in the game; Rockstar has not confirmed the claim or named tracks. 5 | |
Panama with Poolside | "Back to Life" | Direct artist statement; later deleted | A preserved screenshot shows Panama saying the song would appear in GTA VI. The later deletion does not establish why it was removed or whether the track remains. 6 | |
Neon Indian / Alan Palomo | Unspecified future work | Direct artist statement | Palomo said his relationship with Rockstar was not over, without naming GTA VI or a specific contribution. 7 | |
ScHoolboy Q | Unspecified | Direct artist statement | In response to a request for music on GTA VI radio, he wrote, “Ima be on there don't even trip.” Rockstar has not confirmed the claim. 8 | |
Skrilla | "Doot Doot (6 7)" | Direct artist statement | Skrilla said “6 7” would be in the next Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar has not confirmed the song or its use. 9 |
These are claims made by artists themselves. They are not Rockstar confirmations, and a claimed connection does not by itself identify a song, station or in-game role.
September 2026 artwork campaign
September 2026 GTA VI Artist Artwork Campaign
Participants | Shared artwork | Evidence status | Direct posts |
|---|---|---|---|
Travis Scott | Purple high heels and pole; caption included “PHASE 1”, a return-to-gaming remark and “J... O. H.....” | Official album artist — “RHYNO” | |
Future, Metro Boomin and Yung Lean | Purple Coquette with a Leonida plate | Official album artists — “That’s It” | |
Morgan Wallen | Pool ladder | Official album artist — “Last Thing You Need” | |
CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Fred again.. and a PinkPantheress-linked account | Yacht artwork | Official album artists — “Sexy Magic” | |
Keith Richards | Iguana artwork | Official album artist — “Bright Lights, Big City” | |
Rauw Alejandro | Another crop from the campaign artwork | Official album artist — “Macacoa 2000” |
The artwork campaign preceded Rockstar’s album announcement by two days. The rows preserve the original groupings and link to the artists’ posts.
Rockstar confirmed two days later that the campaign promoted Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. Travis Scott's J.O.H. clue may point to Jack of Hearts, Boobie Ike's Vice City strip club, because the initials and the high-heels-and-pole image fit. That remains an interpretation, not a confirmed expansion of the initials or evidence of a radio role. The repeated Coquette and yacht images documented the campaign groupings, which now align with two of the released singles.
Evidence labels
- Official album track: named by Rockstar as part of Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album; not automatically a radio-station track.
- Confirmed station: Rockstar or directly inspectable game evidence establishes a playable station.
- Radio clue: an observable logo, advertisement or related detail; not a confirmed playable station.
- Direct artist statement: the artist publicly claimed a GTA VI connection; the exact contribution may remain unknown.
- Campaign participation: the artist shared coordinated GTA VI promotional material; not proof of a radio role or in-game appearance.
- Reported, unverified: a claim exists but Rockstar or the artist concerned has not confirmed it.
- Official video use: heard in an official trailer or presentation; not proof of in-game radio placement.
Story-world music
Real Dimez and Only Raw Records belong to GTA VI's fictional music world. Their appearance establishes in-story artists and a record label, not a radio station or a licensed soundtrack entry.21
Maintenance note
This tracker will be updated as Rockstar reveals the remaining album tracks, radio stations, hosts and the game's dynamic score. Album releases, radio clues, video use, artist claims and unverified reports will remain separated unless stronger evidence changes their status.
