One of GTA's most underrated features has always been its radio. From Flash FM in Vice City to Non-Stop-Pop FM in GTA V, Rockstar's soundtrack curation is legitimately excellent. So when a dataminer known as "leonida_files" uncovered what appears to be the full GTA 6 soundtrack in a recent launcher update, the gaming internet collectively lost its mind.
The leaked file lists 214 tracks across 12 radio stations, including three entirely new fictional brands: "Sol Coast Radio" (described in metadata as "Miami bass, Latin trap, 305 culture"), "Big Easy 97" (classic R&B and soul with a New Orleans flavor), and "CrimeLine" (a talk-radio station focused on true crime content — a first for the franchise).
The returning stations include a modernized version of Radio Espantoso, Los Santos Rock Radio rebranded as "Leonida Classic Rock," and a Vice City successor to VCPR (Pressing Issues) called "Leonida Public Radio." V-Rock appears to be absent, replaced by a harder-edged metal station tentatively named "WKRASH."
Confirmed artists from the leaked tracklist include Bad Bunny, Tyler, the Creator, Kendrick Lamar, Peso Pluma, Feid, and what appears to be an original track by a collaboration listed simply as "KH feat. Vice" — widely interpreted as DJ Khaled featuring an unknown artist under a fictional name. Rockstar has made original recordings for radio stations in the past (the GTA V Intro collection), and this continues that tradition.
The "CrimeLine" station is the wildcard. Described by dataminers as a "true crime talk station with fictional hosts," it appears to satirize the true crime podcast boom of the past decade. Episode titles visible in the data include "The Vice City Ripper: Fact or Folklore?" and "Inside the Hermanos: A Five-Part Investigation." This kind of world-building through audio is exactly what makes GTA worlds feel alive.
Rockstar has not confirmed any of this, and has historically been tightlipped about soundtrack details until close to launch. But the data is internally consistent, matches the style of previous GTA soundtrack metadata, and comes from a source with a strong track record. Color us convinced — and extremely ready to cruise down Ocean Drive with Bad Bunny blasting.
