GTA 6 Soundtrack Guide: Official Album, Trailer Songs, and Radio Stations

Find GTA 6 trailer songs, the November 19 album, Justice’s December score release, official radio previews, and current Miami festival information.

GTA 6 Soundtrack Guide: Official Album, Trailer Songs, and Radio Stations

The GTA 6 soundtrack now has several official ways in: Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album arrives November 19, the Justice original-score album is announced for December 11, and Rockstar has previews of selected in-game radio stations available now. My recommendation is to start with the part you actually want to hear: a trailer song, a station’s musical direction, or the score behind the story.

That choice is part of the pleasure. GTA music can make a setting stay with you long after the controller is put away. I want this guide to help you find the right recording and leave room for the game itself to introduce the rest.

Official starting point: Rockstar’s GTA VI music page links the album, score, released singles, and station previews. Dates below were checked November 11; this is a listening guide, not a claimed full radio playlist.

I keep these routes separate because each offers a different experience. When a song catches your ear, finding its artist is more rewarding than scrolling through a broad playlist that happens to mention GTA in its title.

GTA 6: The Album arrives with the game

Rockstar’s album announcement describes GTA 6 The Album as an official release made with Atlantic Records, containing 34 original tracks and arriving November 19. Its music page offers digital pre-save links and vinyl or CD purchasing routes.

Released singles shown on the current page include tracks by Yung Lean, Travis Scott, Justice, Morgan Wallen, Fuerza Regida, Rauw Alejandro, Cardi B, and Tove Lo, among others. I treat those singles as the easiest way to decide whether the album is something I want to keep listening to beyond launch week.

My recommendation is to try a small selection across the styles that interest you. If several tracks stay in your regular rotation, the full album has a clear place in your library. If you mainly want one song, keep that song and let the rest wait.

For a physical purchase, compare the actual format and edition before checking out. Vinyl, CD, and a digital pre-save are different arrangements. Read the seller’s release or shipping information if having the record on a particular date matters to you.

The GTA 6 Justice soundtrack has its own release

Rockstar’s score announcement identifies Justice, the French duo of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, as the composers of the original score. The published score announcement describes an adaptive composition approach, with music responding to how players engage with Vice City and Leonida.

The GTA VI: Original Score album is announced for December 11, with 30 tracks plus digital bonus material across formats. The official music page lists “Flower in a Hurricane” and “Pusher,” the latter featuring Gesaffelstein, among the released singles.

For someone searching for the GTA 6 Justice soundtrack, I recommend starting with those credited releases. They provide a direct route to the composers’ work without requiring a complete radio list.

My particular interest is how composed music supports movement and tension. I want to hear the score in the game before deciding which passages mean the most to me. An album version also has its own value: it makes space to listen without the other demands of playing.

Which GTA 6 trailer song are you remembering?

The GTA 6 trailer song depends on the video. These are the credited songs for the main trailers discussed here:

Video

Song

Artist

Trailer 1

Love Is a Long Road

Tom Petty

Trailer 2

Hot Together

The Pointer Sisters

Launch Trailer

Flower in a Hurricane

Justice featuring Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

Tom Petty’s official announcement identifies the first-trailer recording. Rockstar’s Trailer 2 upload description credits The Pointer Sisters, while its launch-trailer page names the Justice collaboration.

Search the exact song title and artist together on the service you use. Check the recording’s artist credit before adding it to a playlist, particularly when a title has covers or remixes. That is usually the quickest way to keep the version you recognized.

I like listening to a trailer song on its own before replaying the video. A full recording gives the music room to develop outside the trailer edit. It can also lead to the artist’s wider work, which is one of the best reasons to follow game music in the first place.

GTA 6 radio stations: choose a first stop by taste

Rockstar currently previews six GTA 6 radio stations. Their published descriptions make it possible to choose a starting point without needing the final song-by-song broadcast schedule.

Musical direction described by Rockstar

My suggested listener

Cocoteo

Modern Latin

Start here for contemporary Latin sounds

Back Country Radio

Country

Try it if country is your road-music preference

AfroBank FM

African classics, amapiano, 3-step, and more

Choose it for discovery across those styles

The Chamber 106.6

Metal

Start here for heavier listening

Flash FM

Pop

A direct choice for pop-focused driving music

Dirty South Classics

Southern rap and hip-hop classics

Choose it for the regional rap emphasis

My preferred first pass is a familiar style followed by one station outside my normal listening. Familiar music provides a reference; the second choice gives the game a chance to introduce something new.

For returning Vice City fans, Flash FM is an obvious name to investigate. For a broader sense of Leonida’s musical identity, I recommend making room for the regional and contemporary selections too. The most interesting station may be the one you would not have chosen from memory alone.

Save some listening for the drive

The appeal of GTA 6 radio stations includes the act of encountering music while traveling through the world. I plan to leave part of that discovery for play rather than assemble an exhaustive listening assignment beforehand.

A useful preparation playlist can stay small: one trailer recording you already like, a released album single, and a score single. Then use Rockstar’s previews to choose a station you want to try when you have the controls.

If you listen with others around, choose the room and volume that suit the household. A headphone session and background music during dinner serve different purposes. Give unfamiliar tracks a proper listen when you actually want to focus, rather than deciding their value from a distracted few seconds.

I also keep a simple note for later discoveries: song, artist, and where I found it. That preserves the connection to a moment in the game without requiring a detailed journal. Over time, those notes can become a more personal soundtrack than a giant list saved before release.

The GTA 6 music festival is a separate outing

Rockstar’s festival page announces November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami. The lineup includes Justice as a DJ set alongside a range of artists associated with the game and soundtrack.

As checked November 11, the entry lottery has closed and the official page points to ticket information and a waitlist. Use that current route if you are interested. Do not plan around an old invitation to enter the closed lottery.

The event requires attendees to be at least 17 and bring valid identification. The page also says there is no on-site parking and encourages rideshare. Those details matter before making a trip out of a music announcement; check the full visit guidance and secure admission before arranging the outing.

For me, the festival belongs in a separate decision from the soundtrack. Enjoying the album does not create a need to attend, and attending would involve travel and scheduling beyond an ordinary listening evening.

Before ordering a record as a keepsake, give its released music the same attention you give any other album. Check the format, track selection, and delivery information on the linked official seller. A GTA 6 soundtrack purchase is most satisfying when you want the music as well as the object.

My listening plan

Start with the credited GTA 6 trailer song if you have one in mind. Otherwise, sample a station that matches your taste, then try one released track from the album or Justice score.

The GTA 6 soundtrack is most useful as a set of doors into music you may keep. Choose one, listen properly, and leave enough curiosity for Leonida’s radio to surprise you when you finally get behind the wheel.
