Screenshots Rockstar Games🎤 Music runs deep in this story. Meet Jason and Lucia and the music-industry characters around them.
GTA’s radio has always been half the reason the soundtracks live rent-free in fans’ heads years later. Here’s the honest state of play for GTA 6’s stations — what Rockstar has actually confirmed, versus what’s still artist rumors and leaks.
Quick Answer
Only one radio station is officially confirmed for GTA 6: V-Rock, the rock station returning from the original Vice City, spotted on a t-shirt Jason wears in promotional material. Six songs have been confirmed through the two trailers so far. Everything else — additional stations, specific artists like Drake or DJ Khaled, and the full genre lineup — is either self-reported by artists or unverified rumor. For scale, GTA V launched with 17 stations and 240+ songs, and GTA 6’s soundtrack is expected to match or exceed that, just not necessarily all at once on day one.
The One Confirmed Station: V-Rock
Jason was spotted in promotional footage wearing a t-shirt with an updated V-Rock logo — the same rock station Vice City fans will remember from 2002. It’s a small detail, but it’s currently the only station Rockstar has confirmed exists in GTA 6 in any form.
6 Confirmed Songs (From the Trailers)
Every song that’s appeared in a GTA trailer has historically made it into the final game’s radio rotation, so these are about as close to guaranteed as it gets:
- “Love Is a Long Road” — Tom Petty (1989), Trailer 1 — saw a roughly 37,000% Spotify streaming spike after release
- Five additional confirmed tracks from Trailer 2, spanning 80s rock, country, and Haitian kompa
Self-Reported Artists (Not Officially Confirmed, But Credible)
A few artists have said enough publicly that it’s reasonable to treat these as likely, even without Rockstar’s confirmation:
- T-Pain — reportedly asked by Rockstar to stop appearing on GTA roleplay servers during development, implying an active working relationship
- Panama — briefly confirmed their song “Back to Life” (with Poolside) would appear, before deleting the post
- Neon Indian — confirmed returning involvement in a podcast interview, having previously contributed to GTA V and GTA Online
Rumored (Treat With Skepticism)
- Drake — claimed by producer Jermaine Dupri to have his own artist-curated station, though unconfirmed by Drake or Rockstar
- DJ Khaled — rumored to host a dedicated station
- Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q — mentioned in various leaks and social posts
Why Music Matters More This Time
GTA 6’s story leans unusually hard into the music industry itself — confirmed characters include Dre’Quan Priest, a music producer, and Real Dimez, a viral rap duo made up of Bae-Luxe and Roxy. That’s a deliberate choice reflecting how central music discovery has become to Vice City’s identity, on top of its usual role as the in-game soundtrack.
