Music has long been one of the defining parts of Grand Theft Auto’s open-world identity, helping each game establish its setting through a mix of licensed tracks and distinctive radio programming. For Grand Theft Auto VI, Rockstar Games has opened a preview page featuring six in-game stations ahead of the game’s November 19 launch. The preview covers several different genres, and listening through the available clips reveals 18 songs across the lineup.
Six stations, six distinct musical identities
The preview is built around a broad range of sounds rather than a single dominant style. Cocotea FM represents Latin music, while Back Country Radio focuses on country. AfroBank FM brings AfroBeats into the rotation, and The Chamber 106.6 supplies a heavy metal selection. Flash FM covers pop, while Dirty South Classics delivers southern hip hop. Together, the stations suggest that music will once again be a major tool for giving different parts of Grand Theft Auto VI’s world their own character.
The songs identified in Rockstar’s preview
The Latin station includes Bad Bunny’s “EoO,” “Si Es Trucho Es Trucho (Remix)” by Axel Rulay featuring Farruko and El Afla, and “Canalla” by Romeo Santos and El Chaval de la Bachata. Back Country Radio features David Allan Coe’s “Need a Little Time Off for Bad Behavior,” Loretta Lyn’s “Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’,” and “The Conversation” by Hank Williams, Jr. and Waylon Jennings.
AfroBank FM’s preview contains “Joha” by Asake, “Gye Wani” by Pat Thomas featuring Ebo Taylor, and “Shay’sana” by DJ Lag and Robot Boii featuring Kamo Mphela. The metal station includes Black Sabbath’s “I,” Pantera’s “I’m Broken,” and Slayer’s “Raining Blood.”
Flash FM offers “Good Ones” by Charli XCX, MGMT’s “Electric Feel,” and “Midnight Sun (Girls Trip)” by Zara Larsson and PinkPantheress. Dirty South Classics rounds out the preview with “Like a Pimp Mix” by JefeEdai, JT Money’s “Who Dat,” and “Born N Raided” by DJ Khaled featuring Pitbull, Trick Daddy, and Rick Ross.
What to expect before launch
Rockstar’s webpage is presented as a preview, so this list should be treated as the songs heard in the available clips rather than a complete soundtrack announcement. The studio has not, in the supplied information, identified the full tracklists for these stations. Even so, the selection gives players an early look at the musical range planned for Grand Theft Auto VI and shows that the game’s radio presentation will move between established names, newer artists, and multiple regional styles.

Expert View
The preview signals that Rockstar is treating radio as more than background audio: it is an important piece of Grand Theft Auto VI’s world-building and regional identity. The genre spread should give the community plenty to discuss while the full soundtrack remains unrevealed. For now, the clearest next step is to watch for additional station details or a complete music announcement before launch.
