Corrected V-Rock from confirmed to unconfirmed and removed prior-entry radio sections

Radio stations have been a core feature of every Grand Theft Auto game since GTA III, and Grand Theft Auto VI continues the tradition. One station has been named by Rockstar so far, Coral Chorus. A V-Rock t-shirt appears in Trailer 2, but no playable V-Rock station has been confirmed. The t-shirt is set in Vice City, the game's setting. Both official trailers feature licensed music playing on in-car radios, and multiple real-world artists have publicly confirmed their involvement in the game's soundtrack.
V-Rock has not been confirmed as a playable station in Grand Theft Auto VI. The sole piece of evidence is a V-Rock t-shirt worn by Jason in Trailer 2. A garment bearing a station's logo establishes that the brand exists in the world, but it does not establish that the station is on the radio dial, and Rockstar has published nothing further about it.
Coverage of the August 2026 Extended Look did not name a single radio station, so no additional stations have been confirmed since Coral Chorus. Treat any station list circulating outside Rockstar's own announcements as unverified.
Coral Chorus was confirmed as a GTA VI radio station by Rockstar in May 2025. The station name suggests a tropical or Latin-influenced music format, fitting the Leonida setting. No tracklist or host details have been announced.

Six songs have been positively identified across the two official trailers. Trailer 1 used a single featured track, while Trailer 2 incorporated multiple songs as brief radio snippets heard during driving sequences.
Song | Artist | Trailer | Context |
|---|---|---|---|
Love Is a Long Road | Tom Petty | Trailer 1 | Featured track for the entire trailer; Spotify streams surged roughly 37,000% |
Hot Together | The Pointer Sisters | Trailer 2 | Main featured song; Spotify streams surged 182,000% within two hours |
Everybody Have Fun Tonight | Wang Chung | Trailer 2 | Brief car radio snippet during a driving sequence |
Thunder Island | Jay Ferguson | Trailer 2 | Background radio snippet during a scene with Jason and Brian Heder |
Talkin' to Myself Again | Tammy Wynette | Trailer 2 | Radio snippet during Jason's driving sequence |
Child Support | Zenglen | Trailer 2 | Haitian kompa track; plays as a radio snippet while Jason drives |
The inclusion of Zenglen's "Child Support" is particularly notable. Zenglen is a Haitian kompa band, and the song's presence in the trailer reflects Vice City's large Haitian community, mirroring real-life Miami's significant Haitian population. The variety of genres across the trailer songs (rock, pop, country, kompa, R&B) suggests a diverse radio dial.
Only Raw Records is an in-game hip-hop record label confirmed on the official Rockstar Games website. The label is run by two characters: Dre'Quan Priest (a former street-level dealer turned music industry figure) and Boobie Ike (who owns the Jack of Hearts strip club, real estate, a recording studio). Only Raw Records represents a new direction for GTA's in-game music, where fictional record labels and artists exist within the game world.
Real Dimez are a fictional rap duo signed to Only Raw Records. The duo consists of Bae-Luxe and Roxy, who appear in Trailer 1 dancing on top of a car during a street takeover scene. Their inclusion suggests that GTA VI features original fictional music alongside the licensed real-world tracks on its radio stations, similar to how GTA V's iFruit Radio featured fictional DJ appearances alongside real artists.
Several real-world musicians have publicly confirmed their involvement in GTA VI, though the specifics of their roles (radio station DJs, featured artists, or voice actors) vary.
Artist | Confirmation | Details |
|---|---|---|
T-Pain | Twitch livestream | Confirmed involvement on stream; said Rockstar asked him to stop playing on a third-party roleplay server because of his role |
ScHoolboy Q | X (Twitter) | Replied to a fan in February 2024: "Ima be on there don't even trip" |
Panama | Instagram comment (since deleted) | Confirmed their song "Back to Life" (co-written with Poolside) will appear; comment was deleted but widely screenshotted |
T-Pain's situation is especially interesting because Rockstar actively told him to step away from GTA RP content during the production period, suggesting his involvement is substantial enough to create a conflict of interest. Whether he is a radio host, a featured artist, or both remains unclear.

Trailer 2 features what appears to be an in-game television commercial for Ammu-Nation. The ad features a character pitching firearms, presented in the style of a late-night infomercial. Rockstar has not named him. See the weapons article for the in-game store itself. The commercial continues the series habit of satirical broadcast media content.
Both trailers had a measurable effect on real-world music streaming. Tom Petty's "Love Is a Long Road" (1989) saw its Spotify streams surge roughly 37,000% after Trailer 1's release in December 2023. The Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together" (1986) experienced an even larger spike of 182,000% within two hours of Trailer 2's release in May 2025. These numbers are consistent with the trailer viewership records documented in the awards and reception article.
