As of October 30, 2026, Rockstar has previewed six Grand Theft Auto VI radio stations and named their on-air hosts. Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album is scheduled for November 19 with 34 original tracks and nine featured singles currently listed. There is now a separate date for Justice’s Original Score album: December 11. Its new single, “Pusher” featuring Gesaffelstein, arrived on October 29. The full station-by-station radio tracklist is still incomplete.

This tracker lists song titles and artists, never lyrics. Each entry distinguishes a station preview, an album release, official footage or an unverified claim. Some songs overlap those categories, so adding the tables together will not give you a reliable count of unique tracks. Last checked October 30, 2026.

How we label confirmation

LabelMeaning
Radio: previewedA named station has an official Rockstar preview; individual song IDs may still come from the press
Album: releasedReleased as a single from GTA VI: The Album
Footage: creditedCredited by Rockstar for an official trailer
Footage: identifiedHeard in official footage; title and artist identified by music trackers, not listed by Rockstar
RumoredFrom leaks, merchandise or unverified claims

Think of the label as the answer to “where did this information come from?” A trailer credit and a station preview can both be useful, but they tell you different things. Keeping that distinction in the table saves a lot of confusion when a fan playlist starts circulating as a supposed complete soundtrack.

A song appearing in an official GTA VI trailer or gameplay showcase is not automatically confirmed for an in-game radio station. We distinguish songs heard in promotional footage from tracks explicitly linked to Rockstar's radio previews. One song can appear in more than one list, so the lists below aren't added together as a count of unique songs.

GTA 6 radio stations and hosts

First station announcement: October 8, 2026. Rechecked October 30.

Rockstar’s music-page tiles use the short names Cocoteo, Back Country, Afro Bank FM, The Chamber, Flash FM and Dirty South Classics. The October 8 official announcement itself also uses expanded names, including Cocoteo FM, Back Country Radio and The Chamber 106.6. Those longer forms are not merely press inventions. Six stations have been previewed; that does not establish the complete final lineup.

Flash FM—Pop and danceRobyn and AlexRobyn and Alex Consani
Dirty South Classics—Regional rap and hip-hop classicsTrick and TrinaTrick Daddy and Trina

The musical spread is the interesting part for listeners: a country selection can sit a button-press away from Latin music, metal or regional rap. The presenters help give those selections an identity. In our discussion of why game audio matters, that relationship between a place and its sound is central; here, the station previews are the first small samples to listen to.

Back Country’s official description also introduces roving reporter and swamp meteorologist Mud Dog Mike. It does not name his voice performer. Secondary coverage mentions Jeremy Dufrene in connection with the station, but that alone does not establish that he voices this character.

The host column records the on-air names supplied by Rockstar. The performer column reflects secondary reporting, including music-press coverage; those are different kinds of credit. A familiar first name on a station tile is not, by itself, a full cast announcement.

Rockstar’s announcement describes a range running from classic rock to talk radio without presenting a final list of every station. It also confirms on-demand podcasts, new to the series, with radio and podcasts available in vehicles or on foot through the characters’ phone-connected headphones and earbuds.

Songs previewed on each station

The following eighteen titles are reported identifications of the October 8 previews. Secondary song lists support these names, but Rockstar’s public station tiles do not print a song-by-song list. We have not independently logged the audio timestamps, so the final column makes that limitation explicit.

Dirty South ClassicsBorn N RaisedDJ Khaled ft. Trick Daddy, Rick Ross and PitbullPress identificationNot logged

These are short excerpts, not eighteen full performances. A title identified by a publication remains that publication’s identification until it can be checked against an official credit or the recording itself. One example is Pantera: some coverage names “I’m Broken,” while another report names “Mouth for War.” “I’m Broken” therefore remains a reported identification here.

The next useful check will be the released game or a published set of credits. Until then, a longer fan playlist should not be used to silently expand this table. New information needs a source and a date, even if a song sounds exactly right for a station.

GTA VI: The Album and the separate Justice score

The September 17 announcement introduced The Album and its first six singles. The collection is scheduled for November 19 on streaming services, CD and vinyl. Two more songs were documented by October 9, followed by the Justice collaboration on October 15. The nine titles below are still the ones featured in the soundtrack-album section of the official music page.

SuzukiFuerza RegidaBy Oct 9Album: released
Flower in a HurricaneJustice feat. Tame Impala, SZA, King Gizzard & The Lizard WizardOct 15Album: released; also the launch trailer song

The list is a useful starting point for hearing the artists’ full recordings rather than trailer edits. It is not a claim that these nine songs exhaust everything that might have been announced outside the featured-singles page. “Pusher” is listed in the score section instead; it should not be counted as a tenth featured single from The Album.

Thirty-four minus these nine leaves twenty-five tracks outside this featured list. That arithmetic is not evidence that no other details exist elsewhere. Nor is The Album interchangeable with the radio selection: the first is a collection of original tracks, while the station previews include existing recordings.

Justice’s Original Score has its own release date

Rockstar’s October 29 announcement dates Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score for December 11, 2026. It describes thirty tracks, plus digital bonus material, on streaming, CD and vinyl. Justice composed the adaptive score. Two featured singles are now available: “Flower in a Hurricane” and “Pusher,” the latter featuring Gesaffelstein.

That separate score release is easy to miss if every music announcement is filed under “soundtrack.” Our guide to soundtracks and scores explains the useful distinction. Here, Rockstar is selling two named collections with different totals and dates, even though “Flower in a Hurricane” appears in both.

Trailer and Extended Look songs

A trailer can send you looking for a song long before you know anything about the station it might suit. That is a perfectly good reason to make a listening list. It is also why these footage tables are separate: they record where a song was heard, without assigning it a place in the final radio schedule.

Launch Trailer (October 15, 2026)

SongArtistStatus
Flower in a HurricaneJustice feat. Tame Impala, SZA, King Gizzard & The Lizard WizardFootage: credited; Album: released (Rockstar Newswire)

This is the clearest overlap in the tracker: Rockstar names the song with the trailer, features it among The Album singles, and includes it in the score announcement. That is three documented contexts for the same recording. It still does not assign the song to a particular radio station.

Trailer 1 (December 2023) and Trailer 2 (May 2025)

TrailerSongArtistStatus

Trailer 2Hot TogetherThe Pointer SistersFootage: credited
Trailer 2Everybody Have Fun TonightWang ChungFootage: identified
Trailer 2Child SupportZenglenFootage: identified
Trailer 2Talkin' to Myself AgainTammy WynetteFootage: identified

Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road” and the Pointer Sisters’ “Hot Together” give the two trailers very different musical entrances. You can follow the original recordings well beyond those short edits. For the other titles, read the “identified” label literally: they were picked out from footage rather than supplied as a complete Rockstar radio list.

An Extended Look (August 27, 2026)

The Extended Look presentation was released on August 27, 2026. The following titles match secondary music-tracker lists, including PC Gamer’s roundup. They are footage identifications, not an official station-by-station credit list. Artist spellings are standardized here where the tracker copies differed.

A few seconds of a familiar voice can be enough to start a search. It is less useful for establishing the final station, version or edit. The table therefore keeps these as footage identifications. It also avoids pretending that this is a complete cue sheet for every instrumental passage in the presentation.

Still rumored: V-Rock and other stations

V-Rock has not been announced among Rockstar's six officially previewed stations. References to its branding in promotional materials are not sufficient to confirm the station's return.

ItemStatusBasis
V-RockRumoredA V-Rock shirt in official material; no station announcement
Kaleidoscope FM, Worldwide FM, Emotion 98.3, Radio ON-U, Symphony FM, Stockyard FM, CircoLoco Records Radio, The Wipe, La OlaRumoredNames circulated in unofficial radio-menu reports; not confirmed by the six-station announcement

Trailer songs on in-game radioNot confirmedA trailer appearance alone doesn't confirm a radio placement
Artist claims ("my song is in GTA 6")UnverifiedUntil Rockstar confirms

Some station names circulated before the official announcement. Once Rockstar names a station, its status can change; the other names in an old menu image do not gain confirmation along with it. That is why a mixed list of official and unofficial stations is so easy to misread.

Flash FM and V-Rock were both part of GTA: Vice City. The current preview confirms Flash FM for GTA VI. It does not do the same for V-Rock. A logo on clothing can be a reference to the series’ past without announcing a working station in the new game.

Where to listen officially

Start with Rockstar’s official GTA VI music page. It now separates the score, station previews and soundtrack album into their own sections. That makes it easier to check whether a new release belongs to the 34-track collection or to Justice’s score, and to find the legitimate full-track links.

How to check a GTA 6 song claim

Before sharing a new song claim, look for the original post or recording. A screenshot of a playlist with “official” in its name is not enough. These checks take a little longer than copying a track list, but they also tell you what sort of evidence you actually have.

  • Is it heard in one of Rockstar's six station previews? Then it has the strongest evidence for that station.
  • Is it a released single from GTA VI: The Album?
  • Is it credited by Rockstar for a trailer, or only identified by trackers?
  • Is the claim about a station or a song? Stations need their own confirmation.
  • Is it from a leak or an artist's own statement? Treat it as unverified.
  • Check the date: anything written before October 8 predates the station reveal.

The takeaway: enjoy the music, keep the labels

There is already plenty to hear without pretending the last song has been confirmed. Try a station preview, then play the full recording that caught your ear. Compare it with the album singles or Justice’s score and you may hear why the same broad word, “soundtrack,” can hide several very different listening experiences. Keep those categories attached to the songs as this tracker grows.

  • Start with the six previews. They confirm the featured stations and their on-air names, but leave the final playlists open.
  • Keep the dates separate. The game and The Album are scheduled for November 19; Justice’s Original Score follows on December 11.
  • Check the context of a song. A trailer appearance, an album single and a radio placement are different credits. The same recording can have more than one.
  • Keep unrelated online-service claims separate from music news. A third-party page such as gta 6 boosting does not confirm an online mode, its launch date or available features. None should be inferred from these music announcements.
  • Return to the released credits. They will be the useful place to resolve uncertain song versions and station assignments after launch.
