GTA VI radio and music: six stations, a 34-track album
On October 8, 2026, Rockstar presented six radio stations and their hosts, a month after announcing an official 34-track album. Between Flash FM, back from Vice City, and The Chamber 106.6, run by two members of Slayer, here is what we’ll be listening to in Leonida, according to the official texts, and what we’ve already heard in the videos.
October 8, 2026
The six stations presented by Rockstar
One per genre, each with its hosts, on-demand podcasts, and radio you can also listen to on foot. Rockstar announces the widest selection of radio stations and podcasts in the series.
| Station | Genre | On the air |
|---|---|---|
| Flash FM | Pop | Robyn and Alex Consani, under the name Alex |
| Cocoteo FM | Bachata, merengue, dembow, reggaeton | Bad Bunny, aka El Martillo, and RaiNao, aka La Gata |
| Back Country Radio | Country | Morgan Wallen, aka MW, Lana Del Rey, aka Delta Dawne, and the reporter Mud Dog Mike |
| AfroBank FM | African music, from amapiano to the classics | Burna Boy, aka Burna, and Palms Trax, aka Palmsy |
| The Chamber 106.6 | Metal | Kerry King and Tom Araya, of Slayer, aka DJ Kerry and DJ Tom |
| Dirty South Classics | Southern rap and hip-hop | Trick Daddy, aka Trick, and Trina |
Flash FM is a comeback: the pop station already existed in GTA Vice City. Dirty South Classics, for its part, matches what Rockstar says about the game’s musical spirit, the love of Miami music. Each station page on the site takes up the official presentation, the on-air names and what remains to be published: no track list per station is known as of October 27, 2026.
34 tracks
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album
Announced on September 17, 2026 by Rockstar and Atlantic Records: 34 original tracks written for the game, released on November 19, the same day as GTA VI.
- 34original tracks
- 6tracks released on announcement day
- November 19, 2026the album’s release, with the game
Six tracks came out at the announcement, from Yung Lean to Keith Richards, via Travis Scott, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Morgan Wallen and Rauw Alejandro. Others followed: “Don’t Chart” by Cardi B and “Suzuki” by Fuerza Regida on October 9, then “Flower in a Hurricane” by Justice on October 15, with the launch trailer. The album exists for streaming, on CD and on vinyl.
What the album doesn’t say: its tracks are not tied to any station, and nothing yet says in which situations we’ll hear them while playing. Rockstar has promised a dynamic score and “the next evolution of in-game radio”. The album’s page follows the releases, track by track, with the sources.
What we’ve heard
The music of the trailers and the Extended Look
Three videos, three moods: Tom Petty, the Pointer Sisters, then fourteen licensed tracks spotted in the Extended Look.
- Trailer 1, December 4, 2023: a single song from start to finish, “Love Is a Long Road” by Tom Petty (1989), credited by Rockstar in the video’s description.
- Trailer 2, May 6, 2025: “Hot Together” by the Pointer Sisters (1986), credited by Rockstar, and short car-radio snippets spotted by the press.
- An Extended Look, August 27, 2026: fourteen licensed tracks heard over the course of the video, spotted with their timestamps by several outlets; Rockstar has not published the list.
- The launch trailer, October 15, 2026: “Flower in a Hurricane” by Justice, the duo presented by Rockstar as the composer of the original score.
The radio set on the Radio and music page gathers these tracks with their status and source, and links to the official YouTube and Spotify players, loaded only on click. For the pictures, the video pages spot every moment: Trailer 1, Trailer 2, Extended Look.
The game
Guess the Station, and what remains to be published
To memorize the six stations before release, the site offers a little game: a host, a style or a track, and you guess which radio station you hear it on, with five clues a day, the same for everyone. That’s Guess the Station, with progress shared with the site’s other games.
- The track lists per station: none is published. The stations are presented by genre and by host.
- The podcasts: announced by Rockstar, with no title or detail.
- The original score: Justice is its composer, according to Rockstar; nothing more is published about the dynamic score.
- Radio on foot: Rockstar says you also listen to the radio outside vehicles, without specifying how.
