Rockstar dropped the Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay trailer and the internet's music detectives went to work immediately. Less than 30 minutes after the premiere, culture site Modern Notoriety posted the full list of 14 confirmed songs on X, identifying every track that underscores Lucia and Jason's introduction to Vice City. The speed of the identification speaks to how deliberately Rockstar placed each needle drop — some front and center, others buried under gunfire and ambient noise.
Quick Facts — Grand Theft Auto 6
| Developer | Rockstar |
|---|---|
| Platform(s) | PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X |
| Release Date | Nov. 19 |
Instead of a playlist curated by a marketing team, the track list feels like a crate‑digging haul. Birdman & Lil Wayne bring “Pop Bottles” into the mix next to The Bellamy Brothers’ mellow classic “Let Your Love Flow.” Def Leppard’s power‑ballad “Love Bites” and Depeche Mode’s “People Are People” appear in the same eclectic lineup.
What the Trailer Shows
Phil Collins' "Against All Odds" scores a quiet elevator ride with Jason, the song's yearning melody contrasting with the character's stoic expression. Cliff Richard's "Devil Woman" drives an extended Lucia sequence, its driving rhythm matching her movement through Vice City's neon streets. Chimbala x Omega's "Se Me Nota" brings Latin urbano energy to the map's cultural fabric, while !!!'s "Off The Grid" featuring Meah Pace injects dance-punk urgency into action beats.
Hip-hop appears with three tracks. Birdman & Lil Wayne's "Pop Bottles," Sexyy Red & Tay Keith's "Pound Town," and Kodak Black's "Skrilla" are all featured. Aluna & Jayda G's "Mine O' Mine" and Elderbrook & Bob Moses' "Inner Light" round out the list with electronic-leaning tracks. Each placement feels intentional, tied to a specific visual or emotional beat rather than scattered randomly.

Beyond the soundtrack, the trailer reveals Rockstar doubling down on player expression. Lucia and Jason's relationship can develop romantically or remain platonic — players choose whether they kiss or stay friends. Fashion options have expanded exponentially with multiple style categories including streetwear, and both protagonists' physical appearances can be altered. The music diversity feels like another vector of that same philosophy: stock the radio dial widely enough that every player finds a station that feels like theirs.
That strategy mirrors how Grand Theft Auto has historically approached in-game radio — a station for every taste, from talk radio to college rock to pop hits. But foregrounding that eclecticism in pre-launch marketing suggests Rockstar knows the soundtrack conversation drives cultural penetration as much as gameplay reveals. Modern Notoriety identified all 14 songs in under half an hour; that engagement cycle — listen, identify, share, debate — extends the trailer's lifespan far beyond its runtime. With Grand Theft Auto 6 launching November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the full radio lineup remains the next mystery to solve.
