Rockstar Games has revealed the first six in-game radio stations for Grand Theft Auto VI and confirmed that on-demand podcasts will appear in the series for the first time. The stations are Cocoteo FM (contemporary Latin music), Back Country Radio (country), AfroBank FM (African music), The Chamber 106.6 (classic metal), Flash FM (pop), and Dirty South Classics (classic rap and hip-hop). Flash FM returns as a Vice City station, hosted by Robyn and Alex. Players can listen to radio and podcasts through headphones or earphones connected to the in-game smartphone, letting protagonists Jason and Lucia hear them on foot as well as in vehicles. Previews of the six stations are live on the official website. Rockstar has separately confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, with 34 tracks including Cardi B's Don't Chart and Fuerza Regida's Suzuki. Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album will hold 34 original songs spanning hip-hop, rock, and electronic music. Cardi B contributes Don't Chart and Fuerza Regida contributes Suzuki, adding to a lineup that already includes Travis Scott, the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, and Rauw Alejandro. Pre-save registration is open, and vinyl records and CDs are available for pre-order on the album's official website.
On the game side, Rockstar described the radio selection as the widest in series history, covering classic rock, modern hip-hop, pop, metal, dance, Latin, '80s, electronic, blues, ballads, and talk radio. The newly introduced headphones and earphones connect to the in-game phone, so hosts and music keep playing outside cars. On the official site, previews let listeners sample each station's host style and check the names of songs being played from the media player. Rockstar has said it will reveal details of the dynamic score and new album singles later.
