GTA 6 Names Its First Six Radio Stations — and Radio You Can Hear on Foot

Rockstar has named six of the radio stations that will broadcast across Leonida in GTA VI, offering the first detailed look at the game's in-world music ahead of the 19 November release.[5] The reveal arrived in a Newswire post dated 8 October, paired with on-site previews that let fans sample each station.[1][2]

Which stations has Rockstar confirmed?

The six span a deliberately wide slice of the dial.[1] Cocoteo FM covers modern Latin music, moving through bachata, merengue, dembow and reggaeton, and is hosted by the in-game characters El Martillo and La Gata.[1] Back Country Radio leans on renegade country, with MW and Delta Dawne broadcasting out across the Grassrivers and Port Gellhorn.[1] AfroBank FM handles African sounds, from older classics to amapiano and 3-step, fronted by Burna and Palmsy.[1] The Chamber 106.6 brings metal to Leonida, hosted by DJ Kerry and DJ Tom.[1] Flash FM returns as the Vice City pop institution, presented by Robyn and Alex, while Dirty South Classics covers regional rap and hip-hop with Trick and Trina.[1]

Radio you can carry on foot

The bigger change is how players listen.[1][3] For the first time in the series, radio and a new set of on-demand podcasts can be heard away from a vehicle, played through headphones or earbuds linked to Jason and Lucia's phones.[1][3] VGC notes that players previously had to be sitting in a car to hear in-game radio, and that the new podcasts work as on-demand episodes rather than the always-on talk stations of earlier games.[4]

Rockstar bills it as the widest-ranging selection of in-game radio the series has yet assembled, and says more detail on the dynamic score is still to come.[1][2]

The real voices behind the mics

Eurogamer reports that several stations appear to be presented by well-known real-world artists, noting that Rolling Stone drew the comparisons.[3] It lists Bad Bunny and RaiNao behind Cocoteo FM, Lana Del Rey, Morgan Wallen and Jeremy Dufrene on Back Country Radio, Burna Boy and DJ Palms Trax on AfroBank, Kerry King and Tom Araya on The Chamber, Robyn and Alex Consani on Flash FM, and Trina and Trick Daddy on Dirty South Classics.[3] Rockstar's own post names only the in-game handles, so those star names remain press-reported rather than a studio confirmation.[1][3]

What it means for launch

The station reveal sits alongside the game's wider music plans.[2] GTA VI: The Album lands the same day as the game, 19 November, carrying 34 original tracks, and previews of the six stations are already live on the official site.[2] Together the pieces suggest a music package built to feel as large as Leonida itself when GTA VI reaches PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.[5]
