Before it shows a single heist or a chase, the August 27 Extended Look rolls through a dozen songs across 26 minutes — 70s pop, hip-hop from 2023, new wave and house all in one edit. Rockstar has always used trailer music as a language of its own: it signals tone, era, sometimes even a scene's geography. Here's the full list of tracks identified so far, in order, and what it hints about GTA 6's radio stations.
Every song confirmed, in order of appearance
| # | Track | Artist | Context in the video |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pop Bottles | Birdman, Lil Wayne | Picking up product for Boobie Ike |
| 2 | Pound Town | Sexyy Red, Tay Keith | Shootout and fleeing the building |
| 3 | Skrilla | Kodak Black | Driving across Vice City |
| 4 | Let Your Love Flow | The Bellamy Brothers | Apartment scene, changing outfits |
| 5 | Love Bites | Def Leppard | Bar scene, flashback with Lori and Brian Heder |
| 6 | People Are People | Depeche Mode | Bayside activity montage |
| 7 | But I Think It's a Dream | Captain & Tennille | Jet ski / kayak outing |
| 8 | Cars and Girls | Prefab Sprout | Rally race |
| 9 | Devil Woman | Cliff Richard | Night scene, nightclub |
| 10 | Se Me Nota (Agarrame) | Chimbala, Omega (prod. B-One) | Club atmosphere, dancing |
| 11 | Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) | Phil Collins | Close-protection sequence, airport |
| 12 | Inner Light | Elderbrook, Bob Moses | Closing moments, house/electronic |
The sequencing tracks the edit itself: 2023 hip-hop opens the showcase during the tensest scenes, then the soundtrack drifts back in time — 70s pop, 80s synth-rock, Latin dembow — before closing on contemporary house. Jason and Lucia cover five decades of music in under half an hour.

| Status | ✅ Songs confirmed by ear — 🔴 Final stations and playlists speculative |
✅ Confirmed: every track below is identifiable in the audio of the video Rockstar Games released, free to watch on YouTube and Netflix.
🔴 Speculative: the exact number of in-game radio stations, their names, hosts and full playlists. Rockstar had disclosed none of that as of September 2, 2026.
What it suggests about the radio stations
GTA V shipped with 17 drivable-in-car radio stations, each with its own genre, host and identity, from Los Santos Rock Radio to West Coast Classics. Nothing suggests GTA 6 will scale that back — if anything, the genre spread heard in the Extended Look (pop, new wave, dembow, house, hip-hop) points to a lineup at least as wide, with a notably stronger Latin presence, consistent with Leonida's setting, modeled on a Florida shaped by its Cuban and Dominican communities.
🟡 Likely: a station dedicated to reggaeton/dembow, in the spirit of "Se Me Nota." Nothing official, but the choice is no accident in a game set in Vice City.
🟡 Also likely: the return of a spoken-word format — talk radio or fake ads — a series tradition since GTA III. Nothing appears in the video, but Rockstar has never shipped a GTA without one.
A trailer isn't the final radio lineup
This is a point the specialist press keeps repeating, and it's worth restating here. Rockstar has a long history of using, in its trailers, songs that never make it into the finished game — sometimes because licensing wasn't finalized in time, sometimes because the marketing edit follows a different logic than the in-game playlist.
🔴 Speculative: that the twelve tracks above will land as-is in GTA 6's launch stations. Some probably will; others will stay "trailer-only" tracks. The only certainty is that Rockstar cleared their rights for this specific video.
The best comparison remains the 2022 hack: several songs heard in the leaked footage back then never resurfaced in any official trailer.
What we still don't know
🔴 The number of stations. No figure, no name list.
🔴 The hosts. GTA V leaned on recognizable voices (Pat Bermudez, DJ Pooh, Big Boy...) — nothing equivalent has leaked for GTA 6.
🔴 The score, the original music composed specifically for non-radio scenes (menus, missions, tension). No excerpt has surfaced yet.
🟡 The total number of licensed tracks. GTA V launched with over 240, topped up later through updates. There's no way to estimate GTA 6's figure, beyond knowing Rockstar has been clearing these rights for years already.
FAQ
How many songs were confirmed in GTA 6's Extended Look?
About a dozen tracks are identifiable by ear across the 26 minutes of video released on August 27, 2026, from "Pop Bottles" (Birdman, Lil Wayne) to "Inner Light" (Elderbrook, Bob Moses).
Will these songs be on the final game's radio stations?
Nothing guarantees it. Rockstar routinely uses trailer songs that never make it into the finished game, whether for licensing or marketing reasons. Only their presence in this specific video is confirmed.
How many radio stations will GTA 6 have?
No official figure. GTA V launched with 17, and nothing suggests GTA 6 will have fewer, given the genre range already heard.
Will GTA 6 have a reggaeton or Latin music station?
It's not confirmed, but it's likely: "Se Me Nota (Agarrame)" by Chimbala and Omega appears in the Extended Look, and Leonida is modeled on a Florida shaped by its Cuban and Dominican communities.
Is Phil Collins really in the GTA 6 soundtrack?
Yes. "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" plays over the close-protection sequence at the airport, near the end of the video.
Twelve songs, five decades, and not a single official word on which stations will play them: that's GTA 6's soundtrack story in a nutshell. Rockstar is following its usual playbook, sprinkling music through trailers without ever revealing the full playlist before launch on November 19, 2026. This article will be updated as new tracks are identified.
