The posts do not directly say that these artists have songs on the radio stations. They could instead appear as presenters, guests or even characters, although licensed tracks remain the most likely explanation.
Why music matters so much in Grand Theft Auto
Radio has been part of every Grand Theft Auto game, helping turn long drives, police chases and less lawful errands into something with a soundtrack. From 1999’s GTA 2 onward, the series increasingly relied on licensed music alongside fictional adverts, talk shows and the usual parade of deeply questionable callers.
By GTA 5, the stations featured major performers including Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Elton John and Queen. The selection was not merely background noise. Different stations helped define Los Santos and gave players a reason to remain in stolen cars for slightly longer than necessary.
Rockstar has also used musicians for more than their recordings. Snoop Dogg has appeared as a radio guest in previous games, while Phil Collins became an in-game character in 2006’s GTA: Vice City Stories. The new social media campaign therefore leaves room for cameos, hosting roles or other appearances beyond a conventional playlist.
Which GTA 6 songs are already confirmed?
Several tracks have already been heard in official trailers and promotional footage. The second trailer used The Pointer Sisters’ Hot Together, while an extended preview included music from artists such as Cliff Richard and Kodak Black.
The confirmed songs heard so far are:
- Hot Together by The Pointer Sisters
- Love Is a Long Road by Tom Petty
- Pop Bottles by Birdman and Lil Wayne
- Pound Town by Sexyy Red and Tay Keith
- Skrilla by Kodak Black
- Let Your Love Flow by The Bellamy Brothers
- Love Bites by Def Leppard
- People Are People by Depeche Mode
- But I Think It’s a Dream by Captain & Tennille
- Cars and Girls by Prefab Sprout
- Off the Grid by Chk Chk Chk (!!!), featuring Meah Pace
- Devil Woman by Cliff Richard
- Se Me Nota (Agárrame), produced by B-One, by Chimbala and Omega
- Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) by Phil Collins
- Mine O’ Mine by Aluna and Jayda G
- Inner Light by Elderbrook and Bob Moses
Rockstar has not confirmed whether every artist sharing artwork will contribute a song, nor whether the tracks heard in trailers represent the final in-game radio selection. Trailer music often signals the intended mood, but it does not always guarantee a place on the finished playlist.
What else has been confirmed about GTA 6?
The music teasers follow the first public confirmation of a voice actor. Stephen Root, known for Widow’s Bay, recently revealed that he plays Brian Heder in GTA 6. He is the first cast member to confirm his role officially.
Many details about the game remain under wraps despite multiple trailers. Rockstar has shown its central characters, setting and broad criminal premise, but the full cast, radio lineup and station structure have yet to be announced.
GTA 6 is scheduled to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2026. That leaves Rockstar a little over two months to explain whether Keith Richards is supplying a song, hosting a station or simply standing near an unusually photogenic swimming pool.
