The radio is not a feature of Grand Theft Auto; it is half of what the games are. Vice City's soundtrack in 2002 did more to define the fiction than any mission in it, and a 2026 return to Vice City carries an expectation that is close to unmeetable.
So it is worth being blunt about the state of information: Rockstar has confirmed exactly one radio station, V-Rock. It has not revealed the station list, the tracklist, the number of stations, or the licensing partners. Every comprehensive 'GTA 6 confirmed soundtrack' list in circulation is a mixture of songs identified in trailers, credible reporting, and outright speculation, usually without distinguishing between them.
What can be said with confidence: GTA V shipped with 17 stations and more than 240 songs, and GTA VI is expected to match or exceed that. Music licensing at that scale is negotiated years in advance, which is also why the full list arrives close to launch - The deals are not all signed until they are.

V-Rock and what its return signals
V-Rock was Vice City's rock station back in 2002. Bringing it back is the clearest musical statement Rockstar has made so far.
It links the two games without a time jump
The station ties GTA VI to the original Vice City. It does that without forcing the new story into 1986.
The rest of the confirmed line-up is on our radio stations page.
A returning station is also a licensing signal
Reusing a station name invites the comparison. You only invite it if you are confident in the catalogue behind it.
What that catalogue meant the first time is covered in the Vice City soundtrack legacy.
What is confirmed about the soundtrack
Three things are settled. Everything else is not.
| Item | Status | Source |
|---|---|---|
| V-Rock returns | Confirmed | Rockstar |
| Trailer songs used so far | Confirmed as trailer songs | Rockstar trailers |
| Full station line-up | Not published | None |
| Full tracklist | Not published | None |
| Licensed artist names | Not published | None |
Trailer music is not soundtrack confirmation
Songs in a trailer are picked for the trailer. Some have ended up in-game before. Many never have.
Why fan tracklists balloon
Treating a trailer song as a confirmed radio track is the most common error in fan coverage. One song becomes ten, and ten becomes a list nobody can source.
Where we list a trailer song we label it as a trailer song, and nothing more. The full list is on our trailer music page.
How to read a 'confirmed tracklist'
If a list names more than a handful of songs, it is not sourced from Rockstar.
Check whether each entry traces back to a trailer or an official credit. Most do not, and the ones that do are trailer songs rather than radio tracks.
