GTA 6 Radio Stations and Soundtrack: 21 Confirmed Songs, Zero Confirmed Stations

Every confirmed song

Official. A song counts as confirmed here only if it played in material Rockstar itself published. That gives 21 tracks across three videos — a large, deliberately wide-ranging spread that runs from 1970s country to 2023 rap.

One caveat on the count: outlet tracklists for the Extended Look split between 13 and 14 songs, and the difference is always Inner Light. Khel Now includes it; Vice does not. That is why you will see the running total quoted as both 20 and 21.

Analysis. The shape of that list is worth more than the individual names. Rockstar did not lead with a nostalgia play. Roughly half the Extended Look music is from the last twenty years, and three tracks are from the 2020s — which is a different posture from the "Vice City means the 1980s" assumption a lot of fans still carry. GTA 6 is set in the present day, and the music selection is behaving accordingly.

Why a trailer song is not a radio song

Analysis. This is the distinction almost every soundtrack listicle skips, and it changes how you should read the table above. Trailer music and in-game radio music are licensed separately. Clearing a track for a two-minute promotional video is a different, cheaper and much narrower deal than clearing it to loop inside a game sold for a decade.

So Tom Petty's Love Is a Long Road — the song fans have associated with GTA 6 since December 2023 — carries no guarantee of appearing on any station. It is confirmed as trailer music and nothing more.

The Extended Look tracks sit on firmer ground for a mechanical reason: much of that music is diegetic. It plays inside the world, out of car speakers and club systems, while gameplay runs. Music that is audibly coming from a car radio during a gameplay capture is far more likely to be sitting on an actual station than a song mixed over a montage. That is a reasonable inference, not a Rockstar statement — but it is the right way to rank the two halves of the list.

Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look — the official presentation, published free on Rockstar Games' YouTube channel after its Netflix premiere. Fourteen of the 21 confirmed songs come from this video.

Where the station list actually came from

Leak — not confirmed. Search "GTA 6 radio stations" and you will get a clean list of about a dozen names, usually under a "confirmed" heading. Here is the provenance nobody prints.

Between August 18 and 26, 2026 — the nine days immediately before the Netflix premiere — a leaker operating as "CyberLeek" published a steady stream of gameplay clips, map images and cutscenes taken from a development build. Among that material was footage of the radio selection interface, which is where the names came from: CircoLoco Records Radio, V-Rock, Symphony FM, Stockyard FM, Back Country Radio, Radio On.U, Emotion 98.3, Cocoteo FM, Worldwide FM, Kaleidoscope FM, The Ola and The Chamber. Separate reporting attached artists including Lindsey Buckingham, George Strait and Jamiroquai to the leaked audio.

Rockstar responded with takedowns and, on August 26, 2026, an unusually plain statement. It called the situation "heartbreaking for our team," said "this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game," apologised that "everything has taken as long as it has — from getting the game finished (nearly there!) to sharing more details and official gameplay," and asked people to "wait a bit longer to experience the game for themselves on November 19."

Our position. Two things are true at once. The enforcement action is strong circumstantial evidence the footage was genuine, so the station names are probably real. And they are still leaked, from a build that is now months old, with no guarantee any given station survived to launch — station lineups are exactly the kind of thing that changes late when a licensing deal falls through. We name them here because reporting that a leak happened is legitimate journalism, but we will not list them as confirmed, and per our rumor policy we do not link to the material itself. If you want the confirmed picture, it is the table above and nothing else.

V-Rock: the one station with a real official hint

Official hint — station not confirmed. One name on that leaked list has independent support that does not depend on the leak at all. In video on the official Grand Theft Auto VI website, Jason Duval wears a t-shirt carrying a redesigned V-Rock logo — the hard rock station from Vice City and Vice City Stories, redrawn rather than reused.

Analysis. The redraw is the interesting part. Pulling an old logo out of the archive for a background prop costs nothing; commissioning a new version of it costs art time, and studios generally spend art time on assets they intend to use more than once. Combined with the station appearing in leaked build footage, V-Rock returning is the single best-supported soundtrack guess available.

It is still a guess. Rockstar has not said the word "V-Rock" in any announcement, and a shirt is merchandise fiction — Leonida is full of brands that exist only as clothing. Treat it as a strong hint from an official source, which is a real category, and not as a confirmation.

CircoLoco Records is a real Rockstar label

Official context — station not confirmed. The other leaked name that deserves separate handling is CircoLoco Records Radio, because CircoLoco Records is not a fictional GTA brand. It is an actual record label Rockstar Games launched in 2021 in partnership with CircoLoco, the Ibiza party brand built around DC10, releasing house and techno from artists including The Blessed Madonna, Dixon and Solomun. Its music already plays inside GTA Online's nightclubs.

So Rockstar owns a stake in a working dance label whose catalogue it can license to itself at will — the cheapest, cleanest station in any GTA game to build. A CircoLoco station in GTA 6 is close to a business inevitability. That still is not the same as Rockstar announcing one, and we are not going to file a sensible prediction under "confirmed."

On-demand radio and a streamer toggle

Credible report. Two things about how you will actually use the radio come from creators and outlets who attended Rockstar North's hands-off preview sessions in August 2026, not from Rockstar.

Analysis. If the streamer toggle is real it solves a problem that has quietly shaped GTA content for a decade — GTA 5 streamers routinely mute the radio outright to avoid strikes, which means a huge share of the game's audience has never heard its soundtrack. Given how much of GTA 6's marketing has run through creators, building the fix in is the obvious move. It is also, at the moment, one person's report.

Our phone and apps guide covers the rest of the interface these details surfaced in, and the vehicle guide covers what you will be listening to it inside.

What is still unconfirmed

• Every station name. Rockstar has announced none. All twelve circulating names come from leaked build footage.
• The full tracklist. No soundtrack album, no track count, no genre breakdown has been published. For scale, GTA 5 shipped with 200-plus songs across more than 15 stations and San Andreas with over 150.
• DJs and hosts. Not one host has been named. GTA's stations have historically been carried by their DJs as much as their music, and this is a complete blank.
• Talk radio. A leaked name, "The Wipe," is described as a talk show. Nothing official supports the return of talk radio at all.
• Whether trailer songs are in the game. Separate licences; see above. Love Is a Long Road is not confirmed as radio music.
• The on-demand system and streamer mode. Credible report — sourced to preview attendees, not to Rockstar.

Rockstar does maintain an official Grand Theft Auto VI playlist on Spotify, which is the one first-party place music gets published ahead of launch — historically Rockstar posts full station tracklists close to or after release. We will rebuild this page from that when it lands rather than from anything else. For the wider picture, see our Extended Look breakdown, the confirmed vs unverified features tracker, and the official video timeline. With under three months to November 19, the station list is one of the last big blanks left.

Frequently asked questions

What radio stations are confirmed in GTA 6?

None. As of September 7, 2026, Rockstar Games has not named a single GTA 6 radio station in a trailer, in the Extended Look, on the official site or on the Newswire. Every station list circulating online — CircoLoco Records Radio, V-Rock, Symphony FM, Stockyard FM, Back Country Radio, Radio On.U, Emotion 98.3, Cocoteo FM, Worldwide FM, Kaleidoscope FM, The Ola and The Chamber — traces back to unauthorised footage of a development build that leaked in August 2026, not to anything Rockstar published.

How many GTA 6 songs are confirmed so far?

Twenty-one songs have appeared in official Rockstar material: one in Trailer 1, six in Trailer 2, and fourteen across the Extended Look gameplay showcase. Outlets differ slightly on the Extended Look count because one track, Inner Light by Elderbrook and Bob Moses, appears in some tracklists and not others, so you will see the total quoted as either 20 or 21.

Is V-Rock coming back in GTA 6?

It has not been confirmed, but it has the strongest official hint of any station. Jason Duval wears a t-shirt carrying a redesigned V-Rock logo in video on the official Grand Theft Auto VI website, which means Rockstar chose to put the Vice City rock station's branding into first-party material. That is a deliberate nod rather than an announcement — the logo could equally be a period prop, and Rockstar has confirmed no station lineup at all.

Do songs in the GTA 6 trailers mean they will be on the radio?

Not necessarily. Trailer music and in-game radio are licensed separately, so a track cleared for a two-minute trailer has not automatically been cleared for the game. Tom Petty's Love Is a Long Road from Trailer 1 is the most quoted example of a song fans assume is on a station without any confirmation. Songs heard playing during gameplay in the Extended Look are a stronger signal, because those are diegetic and were most likely playing on an in-game station.

Will GTA 6 have a streamer mode for copyrighted music?

It is reported but not confirmed. TGG, a Grand Theft Auto creator invited to Rockstar North ahead of the Extended Look, described a copyright-free music toggle for content creators, and preview coverage also mentions an on-demand section inside the radio interface. Rockstar has published nothing about either feature, so treat both as credible reports rather than announced features.

Source note: Songs are labeled Official because each played in Rockstar-published material — the two trailers and Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look. Extended Look tracklists were cross-checked against Vice and Khel Now, which disagree on one track. The August 2026 leak and the station names taken from it were reported by Dexerto; Rockstar's August 26 response was reported by Kotaku. CircoLoco Records' founding was covered by GamesRadar. We name leaked stations only to explain their provenance and never link to leaked or stolen material — see our rumor policy.
