Every Confirmed GTA 6 Trailer Song So Far

Music has always been central to the Grand Theft Auto identity, and GTA 6's trailers have already given fans a preview of the game's era-spanning soundtrack. Here's every song officially confirmed in the trailers released so far.

Trailer 1 Song

The debut trailer featured "Love Is a Long Road" by Tom Petty, originally released in 1989. The song's inclusion drove a massive real-world streaming spike, with reports citing a roughly 37,000% jump in Spotify streams following the trailer's release, showing how much marketing power a well-placed needle drop still carries.

Trailer 2 Songs

The second trailer expanded the soundtrack considerably, featuring five confirmed tracks that span multiple decades and genres. These are "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson, "Child Support" by Zenglen, "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" by Wang Chung, "Talkin' To Myself Again" by Tammy Wynette, and "Hot Together" by The Pointer Sisters.

What the Song Choices Suggest About the Game's Tone

The mix of genres, spanning heartland rock, zouk, new wave, country, and R&B, signals a soundtrack built around genre diversity rather than a single musical identity, similar to how the original Vice City leaned into 1980s synth-pop but broadened its scope across multiple stations. The presence of a Haitian zouk track like "Child Support" also hints at the cultural diversity Rockstar is aiming to reflect in Leonida's population and radio lineup.

What Radio Stations Have Been Confirmed

So far, V-Rock is the only radio station confirmed to return, carrying over its rock-format identity from the original GTA Vice City. Rockstar has not detailed a full station lineup, and additional stations are expected to be revealed closer to launch or through the game's marketing site.

What This Means for the In-Game Radio Experience

Trailer soundtracks in past GTA games have often previewed songs that later appeared in dedicated in-game radio stations, so the confirmed Trailer 1 and Trailer 2 tracks are reasonable candidates for GTA 6's eventual station lineup. Historically, Rockstar has secured licensing for a much larger roster than what trailers reveal, meaning the six confirmed songs almost certainly represent a small fraction of the final in-game soundtrack.

Given the genre range already shown, expect the full station lineup to include far more than rock and pop staples, likely spanning hip-hop, Latin, electronic, and country formats to match Leonida's cultural mix, similar to how GTA 5 balanced over a dozen distinct stations across genres.
