What songs are in the GTA 6 soundtrack?

Rockstar has not published a radio-station lineup for GTA 6, and has not said which songs play in the game. It has done two things. It has put real, licensed songs into three official reveals, and those are the only songs this page treats as confirmed from the trailers. And on 17 September 2026 it announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, 34 original tracks out on 19 November, with six of them named. Everything else circulating online is a leak or a rumour, and none of that belongs here.

Every confirmed song with its timecode, the album and the artists Rockstar has named are on the GTA 6 music page.

Trailer 1, December 2023

One song carries the entire first trailer: Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road”, a deep cut rather than one of his singles, playing under the footage from the opening shot to the close.

Trailer 2, May 2025

Trailer 2 layers in several tracks rather than leaning on one. The Pointer Sisters’ “Hot Together” is the anchor, arriving around the 1:04 mark; Jay Ferguson’s “Thunder Island” opens the trailer near the 0:06 mark; and Zenglen’s “Child Support”, a Haitian konpa track, plays around 0:27 while Jason is driving. Reporting on the trailer has also identified Wang Chung’s “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” on a car radio, Tammy Wynette’s “Talkin’ to Myself Again” and a version of “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll”, putting the trailer’s count at six songs on top of Trailer 1’s one. All six are identified by ear in reporting, RockstarINTEL’s list being the one we checked against on 23 September 2026, which is the same standard as reading a shop sign off a frame; Rockstar has published no tracklist for either trailer.

Extended Look, August 2026

Rockstar’s gameplay reveal, GTA 6: An Extended Look, 26 minutes 47 seconds by our own count, premiered on Netflix on 27 August 2026 at 3pm ET before arriving on YouTube and Rockstar’s own site six hours later. Running underneath the PS5 footage, it added 14 more licensed songs to the confirmed total, including Birdman featuring Lil Wayne’s “Pop Bottles”, !!!’s “Off the Grid”, Depeche Mode’s “People Are People” and Phil Collins’ “Against All Odds”, across several decades and genres; Game Rant’s list of 28 August 2026, with timecodes and identified by ear, is the one we checked against, again on 23 September. That brings the confirmed total across all three reveals to 21 songs, with no overlap between them.

The artists Rockstar let speak, September 2026

On 15 September 2026 nine acts posted freshly commissioned GTA 6 artwork within the same few hours, each tagging Rockstar and each confirming a tie to the game: Travis Scott, Future, Metro Boomin, Morgan Wallen, PinkPantheress, Rauw Alejandro, Yung Lean, the Argentine duo CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso, and Keith Richards. Fred again.. appears in some accounts of the same wave and not in others, so he stays off this list; he is on the album, where Rockstar credits him on “Sexy Magic” (below), but whether he posted on the 15th is still not settled.

The artwork was Rockstar’s, the timing was Rockstar’s, and the posts went up with Rockstar’s permission, which makes this a studio rollout in everything but the letterhead. On the day it was not a Newswire post, and that mattered for what it did and did not establish. Each artist confirmed involvement, and not one of them said what that involvement is. Two days later Rockstar answered part of it: every one of the nine is on the album below, which Rockstar calls original tracks. Whether those tracks also play on a station in the game, or whether any of the nine hosts one, it still has not said.

Travis Scott’s caption ended “to be continued”, which reads as a promise of more to come rather than a description of anything in the game.

The album, September 2026

On 17 September 2026 Rockstar announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, made with Atlantic Records. Its own music page calls it “34 original tracks”, coming 19 November, as a digital album, on vinyl and on CD, and the Newswire calls it “the upcoming official soundtrack album”. Rockstar names six singles:

• “That’s It”, Yung Lean featuring Future and Metro Boomin
• “RHYNO”, Travis Scott
• “Sexy Magic”, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy
• “Last Thing You Need”, Morgan Wallen
• “Macacoa 2000”, Rauw Alejandro
• “Bright Lights, Big City”, Keith Richards

This is Rockstar’s own tracklist, so these six are confirmed as album tracks. What the page does not say is just as clear: it names no radio station, does not say which of the 34 tracks play in the game or where, and credits no composer. The other 28 tracks are not named yet. The prices of the vinyl and the CD circulate in the press; Rockstar’s page does not print them, so they are not here.

Who writes the original score?

Rockstar has not said, and has never named a composer for this game in any material. The score is a separate thing from the radio: the licensed songs above play on stations inside the world, while the score is the music written for the game itself, under missions and cutscenes. Grand Theft Auto V had both, and the second one had credits.

Names get attached to this question online on the strength of who has scored Rockstar’s recent games. That is a reasonable guess about a studio with strong habits, and it is still a guess, so it is not on this page. When Rockstar credits a composer, this section will say who, with the source.

Station names: none yet

No radio station has been named in a press release, and none of the frames this site has measured carries one. Until 23 September 2026 this page carried a reported sighting of a V-Rock t-shirt on Jason, the hard rock station from the original Vice City; the source it rested on turned out to mention V-Rock only in a reader’s comment, and we have not cut a frame of it ourselves, so it is off the page until one of those two things changes. A station name in official material would be exactly the kind of evidence this site uses for everything else, and when one appears it will be here with the frame.

What appearing in a trailer does and does not mean

A song playing over a trailer is not the same as a song playing on an in-game radio station. Most songs used in GTA trailers have gone on to appear in the finished game, so the 21 tracks are a reasonable preview of the soundtrack’s range, but Rockstar has not assigned a single one of them to a specific station, and the trailer selection says nothing about the dozens of additional songs a launch soundtrack this size will need.

What we do not know

• The full tracklist, for any station.
• How many stations GTA 6 will launch with.
• Any station name from Rockstar itself.
• Whether all 21 trailer songs make the final in-game cut.
• Which of the album’s 34 tracks play in the game, and on which station.
