GTA VI: six radio formats, DJs and songs confirmed

Rockstar unveiled six slices of Grand Theft Auto VI radio programming on October 8: modern Latin music; renegade country; amapiano and African classics; metal; pop; and regional rap and hip-hop. Each preview is associated with a pair of hosts or DJs. Separately, the company released six singles from Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, which will contain 34 original tracks. The songs available now should therefore not be mistaken for the complete list of music that will play on the in-game stations.

The six radio previews

The Music of Grand Theft Auto VI page organizes the previews by musical identity and hosts. The first channel focuses on modern Latin music and is led by El Martillo and La Gata. The second offers country with an airboat-ready, rebellious character, hosted by MW and Delta Dawne.

The third selection combines amapiano, African classics and 3-step, with Burna and Palmsy. It is followed by a heavy metal station hosted by DJ Kerry and DJ Tom. The fifth is described as a Vice City institution delivering pop and grooves, with Robyn and Alex. Finally, Trick and Trina oversee a channel devoted to regional rap and hip-hop classics.

That is the verifiable scope of the announcement: six previews with clear musical identities and an associated pair of personalities. Rockstar says GTA VI has its biggest and broadest selection of in-game radio and podcasts yet, also spanning classic rock and talk radio. The published material, however, does not provide a complete schedule of every station, program and song.

Genres and hosts at a glance

• Modern Latin music — El Martillo and La Gata
• Renegade country — MW and Delta Dawne
• Amapiano, African classics and 3-step — Burna and Palmsy
• Metal — DJ Kerry and DJ Tom
• Pop and grooves — Robyn and Alex
• Regional rap and hip-hop classics — Trick and Trina

These names describe only the officially presented group. They do not establish that these are all the stations available at launch. The sources also do not support complete playlists for any of them.

Six singles available to hear now

The same page offers six complete tracks as a sample of Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album:

1. “That’s It” — Yung Lean featuring Future and Metro Boomin’

2. “RHYNO” — Travis Scott

3. “Sexy Magic” — CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy

4. “Last Thing You Need” — Morgan Wallen

5. “Macacoa 2000” — Rauw Alejandro

6. “Bright Lights, Big City” — Keith Richards

Full-track listening is offered through Rockstar’s music page, which also links to digital pre-save and vinyl or CD pre-order options. Commercial availability and participating services may differ by territory, so readers should check the official link for current local options.

In-game radio and the album are different lists

The distinction matters. On one side are fictional broadcasters that accompany players through Vice City and the state of Leonida, each with its own genres, voices and format. On the other is a commercial release titled Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album.

Rockstar says the album will feature 34 original tracks and arrive on November 19. The six singles are a sample of those 34 songs. The announcement does not say that the six tracks map one-to-one onto the six radio previews, and it does not provide the full programming for any station. Assigning each single to a channel merely on the basis of genre would consequently go beyond the confirmed information.

What Rockstar has not revealed yet

A complete station list, any additional podcasts, talk programs and full playlists remain undisclosed. Rockstar has also not published a comprehensive map connecting every DJ, artist, song and channel. “Presented selection” is therefore more accurate than “complete soundtrack.”

The official GTA VI page confirms that the revealed stations are hand-picked previews from the game’s radio selection. It also places the story in Vice City and Leonida, following Jason and Lucia. That setting helps explain a curation that brings together local references, Latin music, African sounds, country, metal, pop and hip-hop.

Confirmed release date and platforms

Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026. Rockstar lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the same platforms and date appear in Take-Two’s corporate report. The cited sources do not confirm a PC edition for that date.

Release details, platforms and content remain subject to change, so Rockstar’s official page should be the final reference. For now, the accurate picture is six radio identities previewed, six album singles available to hear and a 34-track original album — but no complete in-game station playlist.
