GTA 6 Reveals Six Star-Studded Radio Stations Ahead of Launch

BY Marcus Kade • 4 minutes AGO • 3 MIN READ

Music has always been a big part of Grand Theft Auto, and the next instalment is taking things even further. Rockstar Games has revealed six star-studded lineup of radio stations for GTA 6, promising a diverse selection of songs and familiar voices. Players can expect plenty of musical variety, alongside new features that change how they listen while exploring the game’s world. With its November release approaching, the announcement offers another glimpse of what players can expect.

Key Takeaways

GTA 6 is set to feature a diverse range of music with celebrity-hosted radio stations and new ways to listen to music while exploring the game world.

  • GTA 6 will include six radio stations with celebrity DJs such as Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, and members of Slayer, offering a variety of music genres.
  • Players will be able to listen to radio stations and podcasts through their in-game smartphones, even when not in a vehicle.
  • The GTA 6 soundtrack will extend beyond the game with ‘GTA 6: The Album,’ featuring original tracks from artists like Travis Scott and Keith Richards.

Celebrities take over radio

Rockstar’s October 8 announcement revealed an impressive collection of celebrity DJs. Bad Bunny and RaiNao host Latin-focused Cocoteo FM as El Martillo and La Gata, while Morgan Wallen joins Lana Del Rey on country station Back Country Radio. Del Rey’s husband, Jeremy Dufrene, also makes an appearance as Mud Dog Mike, a swamp reporter and meteorologist. Interestingly, Dufrene works as an airboat captain in real life, making his fictional role particularly fitting.

African music gets its own home on AfroBank FM, hosted by Burna Boy and Palms Trax. Metalheads can turn to The Chamber 106.6, featuring Slayer legends Kerry King and Tom Araya. Pop station Flash FM returns with Robyn and Alex Consani, while Trick Daddy and Trina bring Southern hip-hop to Dirty South Classics.

Songs worth stealing cars for

The celebrity appearances are only half the excitement. Rockstar has confirmed several familiar songs that players can blast while causing trouble around Leonida. Bad Bunny’s “EoO” joins the Latin selection, while Flash FM features Charli xcx’s “Good Ones” and MGMT’s “Electric Feel.” Anyone craving heavier music can enjoy Slayer’s “Raining Blood,” Pantera’s “I’m Broken” and Black Sabbath’s “I.”

Country listeners aren’t forgotten either, with Loretta Lynn and Hank Williams Jr. appearing on Back Country Radio. Meanwhile, Dirty South Classics delivers tracks featuring DJ Khaled, Trick Daddy and Rick Ross. This musical variety reinforces GTA’s longstanding connection between gaming and entertainment.

No car required

Here’s something longtime GTA fans have wanted for years: music that follows you outside your vehicle. Jason and Lucia can now listen to radio stations through smartphones connected to headphones or earbuds. Exploring Leonida on foot no longer means leaving your favourite station behind.

Rockstar is introducing on-demand podcasts, giving players another entertainment option while travelling around the map. These gaming industry innovations show how game development is making open-world experiences feel more personal, especially during ordinary activities between missions.

More music coming

Rockstar isn’t stopping with radio stations. GTA 6: The Album will feature 34 original tracks, including contributions from Travis Scott, Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro, Yung Lean and Keith Richards.

Listeners can preview all six stations through the official GTA 6 website, while vinyl and CD preorders are already available. Further soundtrack announcements are expected, including details about the game’s dynamic score.

Among the top upcoming video game releases, GTA 6 is giving gaming fans another reason to get excited. Both the game and album arrive November 19, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S receiving the game at launch.
