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.
But 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.
And maybe that’s part of why those memories have lasted. You could disappear into Grand Theft Auto and drive with this ridiculous, unabashed freedom through a world designed as an exaggeration of our own, only to turn the console off and watch reality spend the next decade becoming stranger and stranger itself. All with the same soundtrack.
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.
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 nine now released. Thus far, we’ve heard songs from Travis Scott, Yung Lean, PinkPantheress, Keith Richards, Rauw Alejandro, Cardi B, Fuerza Regida, Morgan Wallen, and Justice, whose new track “Flower in a Hurricane” features Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Justice will also compose the game’s original score, giving the French duo an even larger role in shaping the sound of Vice City. Taken together, the releases offer an early glimpse at the breadth of new music set to compete for our attention behind the wheel.
Rockstar has also begun pulling back the curtain on GTA VI’s radio dial, revealing six stations that span everything from Latin music and Southern hip-hop to outlaw country, African sounds, and heavy metal. The lineup includes a returning Vice City institution in Flash FM, alongside stations hosted by Bad Bunny, Burna Boy, Robyn, Lana Del Rey, and members of Slayer, among others. And in a first for the franchise, players will be able to listen to on-demand podcasts, with music and other programming accessible on foot through their characters’ phones.
And that’s before getting into the leaks. 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 subsequently appeared in Rockstar’s official presentations, lending some credibility to the footage. Still, plenty of the rumored stations and songs remain unconfirmed, and there’s no telling how much more music Rockstar has waiting for us.
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 currently announced radio stations. We’ll keep updating this page as Rockstar reveals more.
Until then, you can pre-order GTA VI for PlayStation 5 and Xbox X/S.

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.
