GTA 6 Soundtrack: Every Confirmed and Leaked Song So Far

+5 XP for Sharing

Seven songs are locked in by the trailers, thirty more played on car radios across the leaked clips, and an alleged tracklist adds eighteen names nobody has heard in game yet.

Quick take
  • Seven tracks are officially confirmed through the two trailers, led by Tom Petty’s Love Is A Long Road.
  • Thirty songs have been identified playing on in-game radios in the August 2026 leaked clips, from Stevie Nicks to Sexyy Red.
  • Seven of the leak-heard tracks can be tied to a specific station through the footage, including V-Rock and WorldWide FM.
  • A separate alleged tracklist document names eighteen more songs, including Drake and The Weeknd, but no clip backs it up.
  • Licensed soundtracks shift late in development, so every unofficial entry stays provisional until Rockstar publishes its own list.

Three Tiers of Evidence

Music has carried Grand Theft Auto since the top-down days, and Vice City in particular is remembered as much for its radio dial as for its neon. So it is no surprise that the sound of GTA 6 is being reconstructed one leaked car ride at a time. This page tracks every song tied to the game so far and sorts each one by how much you should trust it.

There are three tiers. Trailer tracks are official: Rockstar licensed them and built marketing around them. Leak-heard tracks played on in-game radios during the August 2026 clips and were identified by fans and press, most exhaustively by Kotaku and RockstarINTEL. The third tier is an alleged tracklist document that circulated on August 20 with names nobody has heard in any footage. The stations themselves, all fifteen leaked ones plus the confirmed brands, live in our radio directory.

The Seven Trailer-Confirmed Songs

Rockstar has officially used seven licensed tracks across its two trailers. Tom Petty’s Love Is A Long Road anchored Trailer 1 in December 2023, and the Pointer Sisters’ Hot Together carried Trailer 2, with the rest surfacing on Jason’s car radio and in scene transitions. These are the only songs with a guaranteed connection to the game.

One casting note: fans still argue over whether the version of I Love Rock ’n’ Roll in the footage is Joan Jett’s 1982 hit or the 1975 original by The Arrows. Either way, the song itself has an official placement.

Thirty Songs Heard in the Leaked Clips

The August 2026 leak wave turned every stolen car into a listening session. Fans ran each clip through recognition apps and forum threads, and by August 24 the count of identified radio plays stood at thirty. Where the footage makes the station clear we link it; most tracks surfaced through a scrolling dial or a quick cut, so the majority remain unattributed.

Pound Town earned the most notorious placement, soundtracking the gas station robbery in clip seven, while the Sibelius symphony surfaced during a night flight. Two Lindsey Buckingham cuts in one leak wave suggest a station leaning hard into his catalogue, and the pairing of Moloko with Róisín Murphy’s solo work hints that the dance playlist runs deep.

The Alleged 18-Song Tracklist

On August 20 a list billed as a slice of the licensed soundtrack circulated alongside the clip leaks, naming eighteen songs that have not been heard in any footage. It spans Drake, The Weeknd and Playboi Carti, XXXTentacion, M83 and Justice, plus a heavy Miami block of 2 Live Crew, Miami Sound Machine and Gloria Estefan.

One entry has outside support: Panama said on Instagram back in February that Back To Life would feature in the game, per RockstarINTEL. The rest is exactly as trustworthy as an unsourced list can be, though the Miami-heavy selection at least reads like someone who understands the setting.

What the Selection Says About the Dial

Read the thirty leak-heard tracks against the fifteen leaked station names and the shape of the radio comes into focus. Classic rock from Blue Öyster Cult, Bad Company, April Wine and David Lee Roth maps naturally onto V-Rock; Waylon Jennings, George Strait and the Glen Campbell cut caught on Back Country Radio stake out the country lane; Myke Towers and the Larry Harlow salsa point to a Latin corridor through Cocoteo FM and La Ola; and two full symphonies imply Symphony FM is a real, playable classical station rather than a joke brand.

Every venue needs its own sound. The spread of genres across the dial mirrors how many different rooms Leonida has to score.

The modern picks, from Tate McRae and Coi Leray to Tommy Richman, date the in-game present to the mid-2020s, while Zapp, Moloko and Marianne Rosenberg’s German-language cover of Heart of Glass promise the deep-cut whiplash the series is known for. Rumoured artist-curated stations for DJ Khaled and Drake would slot neatly beside the DJ Khaled and Drake tracks floating through the tiers above.

How Much of This Will Ship

Licensed music is the most volatile part of any GTA. Deals fall through, playlists get trimmed and expanded, and a track heard in a two-year-old internal build may be a placeholder that never survives contact with a licensing lawyer. GTA V shipped with hundreds of licensed tracks across its dial, so even fifty-five names would be a fraction of the finished soundtrack.

The first real check arrives with official gameplay: whatever plays under the Extended Look on August 27 becomes tier one instantly. Until then, the full story of how these clips escaped lives in the leaks guide, and every station profile sits in the radio directory.
