It’s hard to believe how long it’s been since we’ve gotten a new Grand Theft Auto game. Though the release of Grand Theft Auto VI is coming sooner than you think on November 19th, nearly 13 years have passed since GTA V — long enough for entire scenes, sounds, and ways of listening to music to come and go.
The feeling of hijacking a car in Los Santos only to find Corona’s “The Rhythm of the Night,” M83’s “Midnight City,” or even “I Don’t Care Anymore” by Phil Collins already blasting from the radio — then taking off under the streetlights, speeding down highways and out toward the rolling hills at the base of Mount Chiliad or the dark expanse of the Grand Senora Desert — has stayed with us the entire time.
That’s because music in Grand Theft Auto has never felt like background noise. The radio stations gave these cities a pulse, and they also became a kind of musical education, introducing millions of players to songs, artists, and entire genres they might never have found otherwise. A song you already loved could suddenly become inseparable from some fictional stretch of highway, while a decades-old track you’d never heard before could follow you out of the game and into your actual life.
Music in Grand Theft Auto VI
This is why the music of Grand Theft Auto 6 is such an important feature waiting to be revealed. We want to know what this new Vice City sounds like — which songs will become permanently fused to its story, its highways, its beaches, its neon nights, shootouts, and whatever other chaos Rockstar has waiting for us.
So far, Rockstar has given us a pretty enticing answer. Between two trailers and its sprawling August 2026 extended look, we’ve already heard everything from Tom Petty and The Pointer Sisters to Sexyy Red, Depeche Mode, Phil Collins, Birdman and Lil Wayne, and the Bellamy Brothers.
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album
The soundtrack is also expanding beyond the familiar songs players might recognize on the dial. Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, arriving November 19th via Atlantic/Rockstar, will feature 34 original tracks, with six already released. That first batch brings Travis Scott, Yung Lean, PinkPantheress, Keith Richards, Rauw Alejandro, and Morgan Wallen into the mix, with collaborators including Future, Metro Boomin, and Fred again.. — giving us an idea of the breadth and quality of new music set to compete for our attention behind the wheel.
Leaked and Rumored GTA VI Radio Stations
Unofficial gameplay footage that surfaced ahead of the Extended Look appeared to reveal more than a dozen potential radio stations and dozens of additional songs. Several tracks heard in those leaks later turned up in Rockstar’s official presentation, lending at least some credibility to what was shown — though none of the leaked stations or remaining songs should be considered final until Rockstar says otherwise.
Below is a running list of every song officially heard in Grand Theft Auto VI footage or released from its forthcoming album so far, followed by the songs and radio stations that have surfaced through leaks and other reports. We’ll keep updating this page as Rockstar reveals more.

What About the Full GTA VI Soundtrack?
We don’t have it yet. Rockstar has not officially revealed the complete radio lineup, DJs, or the rest of the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto VI. And if previous games are any indication, what we’ve heard so far is only a fraction of what’s coming. But for now, Vice City already sounds pretty damn good.
Grand Theft Auto VI is set to release on November 19th, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
