Soundtrack
Rockstar Games has not published an official soundtrack or radio station list for Grand Theft Auto VI. However, seven songs have been identified from the audio of the two official trailerstwo radio stations have been identified from official media, and at least one artist has publicly confirmed involvement with the game.
Songs Identified in Official Trailers
The following songs are audible in Rockstar's official trailers. Rockstar does not publish tracklists alongside trailers, so identification comes from community analysis of the trailer audio. All seven songs below are widely and consistently agreed upon across community analysis of the official trailer audio.
Trailer 1 (December 4, 2023)
Song | Artist | Year | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
"Love Is a Long Road" | Tom Petty | 1989 | Entire trailer soundtrack. Spotify streams spiked ~37,000% overnight. |
Trailer 2 (May 6, 2025)
Trailer 2 contains six identifiable songs. Five play on in-game car or building radios during a montage of Vice City life. One plays during an in-game Ammu-Nation commercial.
Song | Artist | Year | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
"Hot Together" | The Pointer Sisters | 1986 | Main trailer song, plays for most of the runtime |
"Thunder Island" | Jay Ferguson | 1977 | Heard on a car radio during the trailer montage |
"Child Support" | Zenglen | 2004 | Haitian kompa band; fits the Miami-inspired setting |
"Everybody Have Fun Tonight" | Wang Chung | 1986 | Heard on a car radio at approximately 0:34 |
"Talkin' to Myself Again" | Tammy Wynette | 1987 | Country track; heard at approximately 0:41 |
"I Love Rock 'n' Roll" | The Arrows | 1975 | Plays during the Phil's Ammu-Nation commercial (~2:09) |
The inclusion of Tammy Wynette's country track has led to speculation that GTA VI may include a country music radio station, which would be the first in the series since GTA: San Andreas. The Arrows' "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" (the 1975 original, predating Joan Jett's more famous 1982 cover) plays during a brief in-game Ammu-Nation television commercial. Some sources note the exact version in the trailer sounds slightly different from known recordings, and the precise version has not been definitively confirmed.
Identified Radio Stations
V-Rock
V-Rock, the hard rock station from GTA: Vice City (2002) and Vice City Stories (2006), appears to be returning. In official screenshots released alongside Trailer 2Jason Duval is seen wearing a faded V-Rock t-shirt. Rockstar has not issued a written confirmation that V-Rock is a playable radio station in GTA VI (as Den of Geek noted, the t-shirt "could just be a simple callback"), but it is widely reported as evidence of the station's return. V-Rock's original playlist featured 1980s hair metal and hard rock. Its modern incarnation's playlist is unknown.
Coral Chorus
A second station, Coral Chorus, was identified in one of the 70 official screenshots released alongside Trailer 2. The station name appears to be visible on a vehicle's radio display in the screenshot. This was first highlighted by community analysis on May 11, 2025 and subsequently noted by additional reporting. Rockstar has not issued a formal press statement about Coral Chorus, but the name originates from their own officially released media. The station's genre and playlist are unknown.
Phil's Ammu-Nation Commercial
Trailer 2 includes a brief in-game television commercial for "Phil's Ammu-Nation" at approximately the 2:09 mark. A mulleted character announces: "Come to Phil's Ammu-Nation today! We got more guns than the law allows!" The commercial plays The Arrows' "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" in the background. The character is widely believed to be a reimagining of Phil Cassidy, a recurring character from GTA III, Vice City, and Vice City Stories. For more on Phil, see the Supporting Characters article.
Confirmed Artist Involvement
T-Pain
In January 2024, during a Twitch livestream, rapper and singer T-Pain stated that he had started "working on Grand Theft Auto 6" and that Rockstar told him he could no longer play on the NoPixel GTA V roleplay server because it conflicted with his involvement. T-Pain said Rockstar explained it as a conflict of interest, comparing it to someone re-recording his album. His exact role (radio host, licensed music, voice acting, or original compositions) has not been specified. Rockstar has not commented on T-Pain's statements.
Music Impact
GTA soundtracks have historically revived interest in older music. Trailer 1's use of Tom Petty's "Love Is a Long Road" caused a roughly 37,000% spike in Spotify streams overnight. Trailer 2's "Hot Together" by The Pointer Sisters also saw a significant streaming boost. GTA: Vice City's 1980s soundtrack was itself a cultural touchpoint when it released in 2002, introducing a generation of players to artists like Flock of Seagulls, Blondie, and Michael Jackson.
What Remains Unknown
Rockstar has released no official information about the full radio station lineup, total song count, talk radio programming, or licensed music partnerships. Previous GTA games typically featured 15 to 20 radio stations covering genres from hip-hop and pop to talk radio and classical. The full soundtrack will likely not be revealed until closer to or after the November 19, 2026 release.
