GTA VI's First Six Radio Stations Revealed, With Flash FM Back on Air

Rockstar has previewed six of Grand Theft Auto VI's in-game radio stations, from Cocoteo FM's modern Latin to the returning Flash FM, ahead of the game's November 19 launch.

GTA VI's First Six Radio Stations Revealed, With Flash FM Back on Air

Six weeks before Grand Theft Auto VI arrives on November 19, Rockstar Games has opened up the dial. The game's official website now has a dedicated music section with short previews of six of Leonida's in-game radio stations, covering modern Latin, renegade country, African music, classic metal, Vice City pop and southern rap. Each one comes with its own hosts and a playable preview clip.

The six stations so far

Rockstar describes the line-up as the biggest and widest-ranging mix of in-game radio and podcasts the series has had. Its own copy says the full list runs from Classic Rock to Talk Radio, so these six are a sample. Here is what has been confirmed so far, in Rockstar's order:

The page plays a preview clip for each station, so you can hear each station's tone, though Rockstar hasn't published full tracklists for any of them yet.

Leonida's highways are where most of these stations will be heard, as they have been since Vice City first had a radio dial.

Flash FM is back, and the map has changed

Flash FM is the clearest link to the past. It was the pop station on the dial in 2002's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Rockstar now calls it "the Vice City institution." Bringing it back fits a game that returns to Vice City while greatly expanding the state around it.

The other stations also tell you about the map. Back Country Radio's airboat pitch is aimed at the Grassrivers wetlands and rural Leonida rather than the downtown strip, while Cocoteo FM and AfroBank FM sound like they are made for South Florida-style nightlife. The Chamber and Dirty South Classics cover rock and rap fans who might otherwise reach for a talk show. Rockstar's mention of podcasts also stands out: the series has had talk radio for decades, but Rockstar hasn't explained how podcasts will work in GTA VI.

Where the album fits in

The radio stations sit next to a separate project. The same music page promotes Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, a collection of 34 original tracks recorded for the game, and six debut singles are already streaming. Credited artists on the page include Yung Lean with Future and Metro Boomin, plus CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy. The album is a separate release from the licensed and in-world music on the radio, but both sit on the same page, so Rockstar is clearly marketing music as a major part of the launch.

What is still to come

Six stations is only part of the line-up. Rockstar has not said how many stations GTA VI will have in total, has not named the talk and classic rock stations its own copy mentions, and has not shared any song lists. Given how much past GTA soundtracks have mattered to players, expect more stations to be revealed in the run-up to launch.

Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The station previews are available now on Rockstar's official GTA VI site.
