GTA 6’s two trailers have taken sharply different approaches to music, and the confirmed songs in each offer the clearest evidence yet of the soundtrack’s range. The first trailer was scored by a single classic-rock track; the second drew on five songs spanning nearly three decades and several genres, from 1970s soft rock to 2000s Haitian kompa.
The first trailer featured Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road” (1989), a heartland-rock cut used as the sole musical backing for the reveal.
The second trailer used a markedly wider selection. The tracks below are those heard in the released trailer footage, each of which can be verified by watching the official videos:
- Jay Ferguson — “Thunder Island” (1977), soft rock
- Zenglen — “Child Support” (2004), Haitian kompa
- Wang Chung — “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” (1986), new wave
- Tammy Wynette — “Talkin’ to Myself Again” (1987), country
- The Pointer Sisters — “Hot Together” (1986), pop and R&B
Taken together, the second trailer’s selections cut against the idea of a single-era soundtrack. Rather than leaning on the 1980s synth sound often associated with the series’ Vice City setting, the songs span 1977 to 2004 and move across soft rock, new wave, country, pop and Caribbean styles. The inclusion of Zenglen, a prominent kompa band, points in particular to South Florida’s Haitian community, a demographic long present in the region Leonida is modeled on.
The confirmed tracks apply only to the trailers and do not amount to an official soundtrack or radio-station list. Rockstar has not released a full track list, named the game’s radio stations or confirmed which additional artists will appear in the finished game. Further details are expected closer to launch.
