GTA 6 radio stations are almost entirely rumor right now. Rockstar has confirmed exactly two things about the game’s music: the two songs that carry each trailer. That is the honest answer. Every “confirmed” station, every leaked tracklist, every artist who swears they are on the soundtrack — it is all somewhere between a smart guess and a deleted reply. Here is the full list, ranked by how much you should actually believe it.

Before the November 19, 2026 launch, none of this is final. Trailer songs are marketing, not a published tracklist, and Rockstar has never announced a single station by name. Still, GTA trailer songs have a long history of ending up on in-game radio, so treat them as very likely rather than guaranteed.

For the release date, price, and every other confirmed detail, read the GTA 6 Ultimate Guide.

The Two Songs Rockstar Actually Confirmed

If you only remember two GTA 6 songs, make it these. They are the only tracks Rockstar has deliberately placed at the center of a trailer, which is the closest thing to an official soundtrack confirmation we have.

• “Love Is a Long Road” — Tom Petty (1989). Trailer 1’s only song, played over the whole thing. Spotify streams spiked roughly 37,000% in the days after, which tells you how hard fans hunt for this stuff.
• “Hot Together” — The Pointer Sisters (1986). Trailer 2’s main song. Its streams surged around 182,000% after the trailer dropped.

In fact, one strict reading says these are the only two confirmed tracks, and honestly, that is not wrong. Rockstar chose them, paid for them, and built the trailers around them. Everything below is a step down in certainty.

The Other Trailer Tracks (Likely, Not Confirmed)

Meanwhile, Trailer 2 is packed with background music. None of it has been named by Rockstar, but fans have identified every track by ear:

• “Thunder Island” — Jay Ferguson (1977). Soft rock, heard on a car radio at the trailer’s opening.
• “Child Support” — Zenglen (2004). A Haitian kompa track — a real nod to Vice City’s Miami-inspired Haitian community.
• “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” — Wang Chung (1986). Car-radio pop that could have come straight out of the original Vice City.
• “Talkin’ to Myself Again” — Tammy Wynette (1987). A country snippet during a driving sequence.
• “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” — The Arrows (1975). The original version, not Joan Jett’s famous cover, playing inside an Ammu-Nation commercial. Fans still argue over which mix it is.

These are almost certainly in the game. Historically, if a song plays in a GTA trailer, it ends up on a station. Still, “almost certainly” is not “confirmed,” so keep that in mind when someone posts a “full soundtrack” list.

Radio Stations: 2 Spotted, 0 Announced

Here is where things get thin. Rockstar has not announced a single GTA 6 radio station. Two names have been pulled out of official promotional material, and that is the entire verified list. Full station breakdowns live over on GTA Wiki.

• V-Rock — the hard rock and metal station from the original Vice City. Jason wears a V-Rock t-shirt in official screenshots. That is the evidence. It is widely reported as confirmed, but the shirt could just be a callback.
• Coral Chorus — a new station whose name shows up on a car’s radio display in screenshots released with Trailer 2. Genre and tracklist are completely unknown.

And that is it. The “22 stations” number you see everywhere — 18 music and 4 talk — is not from Rockstar. It is a fan estimate that hardened into fact through repetition. Not even close to confirmed.

The Artists Who Claim They’re In It

GTA music is famous for its secrecy, which is why any artist who opens their mouth becomes news. Here are the names floating around, none of them confirmed (a good rundown of the rumor mill is at AltChar):

• T-Pain — said on a livestream he was “working on Grand Theft Auto 6,” and claimed Rockstar told him to stop playing on GTA roleplay servers over a conflict of interest. His actual role is unknown.
• Panama — replied to a fan that “Back to Life” would appear in GTA 6, then deleted the reply.
• Neon Indian — frontman Alan Palomo hinted his partnership with Rockstar continues.
• David Allan Coe — co-writer Bobby Keel announced the 1987 track “Need a Little Time Off for Bad Behavior” is in the game.
• Heaven 17 — reportedly Rockstar tried to license “Temptation,” and co-founder Martyn Ware said no. Even Rockstar gets turned down.

Deleted replies, livestream slip-ups, one straight-up rejection. That is the whole rumor mill right now.

Why I’m Skeptical of Every GTA 6 Soundtrack Leak

I have watched every “LEAKED GTA 6 TRACKLIST” video that has shown up in my feed for the last year, and I do not believe a single one of them. Here is why. The radio stations are one of the only parts of a GTA game Rockstar keeps genuinely secret until launch — GTA V’s soundtrack was not known until people physically turned on the in-game radio. If Rockstar will not even announce the stations, a random account posting a text list claiming all 400 songs is making it up. Full stop. The only things worth taking seriously are what Rockstar itself has shown in a trailer or a screenshot, and even those get misread. I would rather be the one person telling you “we only know two songs” than the tenth person repeating a fake tracklist.

GTA 6 Radio Stations FAQ

When does GTA 6 come out?

November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The PC version has no date yet.

How many radio stations will GTA 6 have?

Unconfirmed. The “22 stations” figure is a fan estimate, not an official number. Rockstar has not announced a single station by name.

What song is in the GTA 6 trailer?

Trailer 1 uses “Love Is a Long Road” by Tom Petty. Trailer 2 is led by “Hot Together” by The Pointer Sisters, with several other tracks in the background.

No. V-Rock and Coral Chorus have both been spotted in official promotional material, but neither has a written confirmation from Rockstar.

Will the trailer songs be in the game?

Very likely, based on how past GTA games handled trailer music, but not guaranteed. Treat them as near-certain, not confirmed.

Bottom Line

GTA 6 radio stations are mostly a mystery, and that is on purpose. Rockstar has confirmed two trailer songs, official screenshots have revealed two station names, and everything else — the 22 stations, the tracklists, the artists — is rumor until November 19. If you want the parts of GTA 6 we actually can confirm, the weapon and vehicle rosters are a lot further along.
