What songs are confirmed in GTA 6?
The officially heard tracks come from the two trailers:
- "Love Is a Long Road" — Tom Petty (1989), the Trailer 1 anthem
- "Hot Together" — The Pointer Sisters (1986)
- "Thunder Island" — Jay Ferguson (1977)
- "Child Support" — Zenglen (2004)
The Tom Petty track saw a roughly 37,000% spike in Spotify streams after Trailer 1 dropped — a sign of the soundtrack's pull.
Which radio stations are in GTA 6?
So far, V-Rock is the only confirmed station, spotted on a t-shirt Jason wears in trailer footage. The classic rock station from the original Vice City returning is a strong nod to longtime fans. Expect a full lineup of genre stations — hip-hop, Latin, pop and more — fitting Vice City's diverse culture.
Will GTA 6 have artist-specific stations?
It is rumored. Reports suggest Rockstar may give major artists their own stations as a platform for new music. These claims are unconfirmed, but they fit how Rockstar has expanded radio in recent years.
How important is the music?
Hugely. The soundtrack defines the mood of cruising through Vice City at night — and historically, GTA playlists become some of the most listened-to in gaming. It is a core part of the Vice City experience.
