Rockstar Games pulled back the curtain on Grand Theft Auto 6’s audio landscape today, officially revealing a selection of the radio stations and songs players will hear throughout the upcoming open-world sequel. The announcement arrived October 8 when the studio updated its official GTA 6 website with an entire section dedicated to in-game radio and music, confirming that the title features what it calls the “biggest and widest-ranging selection of in-game radio” ever seen in the franchise.
While Cyberleek dropped a new big Grand Theft Auto 6 leak has circulated details about the game, Rockstar is moving forward with its own official information rather than leaning on rumors. Today’s reveal offers just a small preview of what players will be able to listen to both inside vehicles and while exploring Vice City on foot.
Six Stations, Every Taste Covered
The newly added music section of GTA 6‘s official website features previews from six distinct radio stations, each with its own genre identity. Players can expect Flash FM to deliver pop hits, while Back Country Radio leans into classic country and outlaw tracks. Cocoteo FM brings modern Latin bangers, The Chamber 106.6 serves up hard rock and speed metal, Afro Bank FM spotlights amapiano and African hits, and Dirty South Classics rounds out the lineup with regional rap and hip-hop staples.
The previews themselves include snippets of each station’s DJs alongside short excerpts from featured songs, giving players a genuine taste of what to expect. Among the confirmed tracks are Electric Feel by MGMT, Raining Blood by Slayer, and Loretta Lynn’s Don’t Come Home A Drinkin’ — a spread that suggests Rockstar is aiming for something for every ear.
Thanks to some previous leaks and trailers, fans already had glimpses of the music and stations they could expect in GTA 6, but this marks the first time the company has officially confirmed what will actually play. The move signals Rockstar’s growing confidence as it approaches the game’s launch.
The team is committed to making Vice City feel alive through its sound, from the radio you tune in your car to the podcasts that follow players on foot — a first for the series.

A First For The Franchise: Radio On Foot
Beyond simply listing stations, Rockstar also confirmed something that marks a genuine milestone for the series. For the first time in franchise history, players will be able to listen to these and other radio stations on foot via Jason and Lucia’s phones. The duo — the game’s two protagonists — can now carry their chosen soundtrack with them as they move through the world.
In addition to traditional broadcasting, GTA 6 will offer a selection of “on-demand” podcasts that players can play either while walking around or behind the wheel. Rockstar also promised it has more coming regarding in-game music, teasing further details ahead of launch alongside GTA 6 album coming soon..
The community reaction has been largely positive, with fans particularly excited about the breadth of genres represented and the novelty of on-foot radio — a feature that deepens immersion in an already ambitious open world. As marketing for the game kicks into high gear, these official reveals are helping to replace years of speculation with concrete details.
Looking Ahead
With less than fifty days remaining until release, Rockstar continues to drip-feed official information about GTA 6 in carefully staged increments. The radio reveal is just the latest in a busy stretch for the studio, which has steadily unveiled gameplay, story, and world details as it builds toward launch.
Fans can expect more music-related content in the coming weeks, including what Rockstar has hinted will be an official GTA 6 album. Until then, players are left tuning between Flash FM’s pop hits and The Chamber’s speed metal, waiting for the day they can finally drive through Vice City with their own soundtrack playing.
