What music is in GTA 6?
Two songs are on the record and both of them are trailer music. No radio station, artist line-up or tracklist has been named by anybody.

The complete sourceable record of music in this game is two songs. Both were used to cut a trailer, and a song licensed to cut a trailer is licensed for that trailer — which is a narrower claim than the one most pages on this query are making.
The two songs on the record
Trailer 1 used Tom Petty's "Love Is a Long Road". Confirmed. Wikipedia (Grand Theft Auto VI), .
Trailer 1 was released on 4 December 2023. Confirmed. The Washington Post, .
Trailer 2 used "Hot Together" by The Pointer Sisters. Confirmed. GTABase, .
Trailer 2 was released on 6 May 2025, four days after the first delay. Confirmed. GTABase, .
That is the complete list. Two trailers, one song each, and after that the record stops. A page listing more than these two songs is listing something nobody has published.
Whether either song is in the game
Neither trailer song has been stated to appear in the game itself. Both are confirmed as trailer music and nothing more. Not known. Open since ; statements to cite: two trailer credits, and nothing about the shipped product. Would settle it: a Rockstar soundtrack listing, or storefront licensing metadata naming either track. Absence of any first-party statement.
That distinction is the seam where a sourced fact turns into an unsourced one. A song licensed for a trailer is licensed for a trailer; whether it also plays on a station inside the game is a separate arrangement, and nothing has been said about either song's status in the shipped product. It would be unsurprising if both appeared. Unsurprising is not the same as stated.
What is on the radio
No radio stations, licensed soundtrack or in-game music details have been announced. Not known. Open since ; statements to cite: none. Absence of any first-party statement.
Nothing. That blank has survived a great deal of first-party material: the pre-order announcement, the edition breakdown and two trailers with their own notes have all been published, and not one of them names a station. An omission that consistent is worth reporting as its own finding.
No number and no range is published here either. A figure could only be produced by extrapolating from earlier games in the series, which is an argument from precedent rather than evidence about this game. Precedent is also what made a 2025 release look settled, and that window moved twice.
No radio station has been named in any first-party Grand Theft Auto VI material, including stations carried over from earlier games in the series. Not known. Open since ; statements to cite: none — no station from any earlier game has been named. Would settle it: a station named on a Rockstar page, a store listing, or in a first-party showing. Absence of any first-party statement.
Lists of stations said to be returning from earlier games circulate widely, and some are detailed enough to look like a leaked document. None of them is attributable to anybody who would know. This page deliberately prints no station name at all: a name published here as unconfirmed would be quoted back elsewhere without the qualifier attached, which is the mechanism by which most of the tracklists in circulation came to exist.
The artist lists, and why none is reproduced
Long artist lists — often dozens of names, sometimes with station assignments attached — circulate steadily and are frequently republished as confirmed. No attributable source has been found behind any of them, so none is reproduced here, not even under a rumoured grade. A rumoured grade records a claim that is widely repeated and traceable to something; a list with no origin at all is not a claim, it is a guess with a layout.
There are three realistic routes to a tracklist, and only three. Rockstar publishes a soundtrack page or an artist list of its own. A storefront listing exposes licensing metadata. Or the game ships on 19 November 2026 and the credits settle it. Nothing before those is a source.
What would settle it
"Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look" premieres on 27 August 2026. Confirmed. Rockstar Games Newswire, .
The runtime and exact contents of the Extended Look have not been announced. Not known. Open since ; statements to cite: none. Video Games Chronicle.
If that showing carries music, the music becomes confirmed as material used in that showing — and, on the same reasoning as above, still not confirmed as in-game radio. Nothing short of what is actually shown, or of a tracklist Rockstar publishes itself, establishes anything.
What was established by the second trailer is broken down at Trailer 2, frame by frame; the showing itself is covered at the Netflix Extended Look. For what has genuinely been shown of the game beyond its music, see gameplay, and for the city the soundtrack is expected to play over, Vice City.
