Since before many Grand Theft Auto fans and players were born, developer Rockstar Games has diligently soundtracked its digital criminal worlds with licensed music that plays over car stereos every time a player instructs their character to commit the franchise’s namesake offense.
While real-world music technically first appeared in GTA 2 expansion packs, most would cite GTA III—the PlayStation 2 title that brought the series into the 3D realm—as the first to put recognizable underground rap hits from Method Man, Royce Da 5’9″, and Redman on the radio. Vice City cemented the approach with a massive genre-spanning, period-correct playlist featuring Hall & Oates, Iron Maiden, Foreigner, Blondie, and Kool & the Gang, among many others.
GTA VI fortunately isn’t straying from the fan-favorite sonic tradition, as the unprecedented 25-minute trailer that premiered on Netflix featured a cavalcade of great tunes new and old. Here are all songs confirmed for the GTA VI soundtrack so far, as compiled by GameSpot:
Tom Petty – “Love Is a Long Road”
The Pointer Sisters – “Hot Together”
Wang Chung – “Everybody Have Fun Tonight”
Zenglen – “Child Support”
Tammy Wynette – “Talkin’ to Myself Again”
Birdman ft. Lil Wayne – “Pop Bottles”
Sexyy Red and Tay Keith – “Pound Town”
Skrilla – “Kodak Black”
The Bellamy Brothers – “Let Your Love Flow”
Def Leppard – “Love Bites”
Depeche Mode – “People Are People”
Captain & Tennille – “But I Think It’s a Dream”
Prefab Sprout – “Cars and Girls”

Cliff Richard – “Devil Woman”

In addition to the above heard in the Netflix trailer, GameSpot has also tracked several others have been teased or rumored in the past couple of years. In 2026, Travis Scott seemed to hint at his inclusion on the soundtrack in an Instagram featuring high heels in the game’s art style, and in 2025, he dropped a music video for his track “2000 Excursion” featuring a car with the license plate “GTA VI.”
Morgan Wallen posted similar GTA-style art on the same day that Scott made his 2026 post, while Megan Thee Stallion revealed a BTS look at what could be a shoot for a GTA VI loading screen in 2025.
Poolside & Panama, Skrilla, Neon Indian, Freddie Gibbs, Schoolboy Q, T-Pain, and Ski Mask the Slump God are among other rumored artists to be featured in GTA VI. Head to Gamespot for a full breakdown.
