GTA 6 playlist: where to listen to the game's music
Updated:
I keep the GTA VI music in a single playlist and mirror it across four services, so that nobody has to install one more app just for it. The list inside is identical everywhere — the only difference is which service opens for you.
Play the whole playlist
The same list on four services — open it in whichever one you already use.
- Yandex Music soon
- VK Music works in Russia
- YouTube no subscription
- Spotify mix · VPN required
- Apple Music soon
Which service to use
The playlist is the same everywhere; availability is not. A short note on what opens where, so you do not click through for nothing.
-
Yandex Music
opens in Russia
Works in Russia with no workarounds: accounts can be created and subscriptions paid with a Russian card. The place to start if you are listening from Russia.
-
VK Music
opens in Russia
Opens as it is too. Handy if you listen inside VK rather than in a separate music app.
-
YouTube
no subscription needed
The one option that needs nothing at all — no subscription, no account. It plays official audio from rightsholder channels, so the playlist will not rot from takedowns. Stable access from Russia is not something I can promise on YouTube’s behalf; that part is out of our hands.
-
Spotify
not available in Russia
The Russian Spotify service has been shut since April 2022 — no subscriptions there. The link is here for everyone listening from elsewhere.
-
Apple Music
not available in Russia
On 1 April 2026 Apple switched off payments in Russia: an existing subscription no longer renews. The playlist is visible through the link, but playing it in full needs an active subscription.
What is in it
Only checked tracks go in: songs from official Rockstar footage, and tracks identified in leaked gameplay by at least two independent write-ups. Disputed ones stay in the registry with a flag but never make the playlist.
- 6 from official footage
- 18 identified in leaks
- 2 disputed — kept out
How it gets updated
On events rather than on a schedule — and for GTA VI music there are exactly two of them, both already on the calendar.
27 August — the Extended Look. The lead song of the new footage lands in the playlist within an hour of publication, because that is the day everyone goes looking for it at once. Both previous trailers did the same: Tom Petty gained roughly 37,000 % in plays after the first one, The Pointer Sisters 182,000 % after the second.
19 November — release day. Rockstar normally reveals the full station and track line-up then, and the playlist stops being a reconstruction from trailers and leaks and becomes an ordinary soundtrack.
In between it still grows, quietly: whenever the community identifies another track from the leaked gameplay and two independent write-ups agree on the title.
If none of the services work for you
That happens: no subscription, no wish to install anything, no VPN. For that case every identified track plays directly on the GTA 6 music page through official YouTube audio — no subscription, no installs. That page also holds what the playlist leaves out by design: disputed identifications with a breakdown of where the sources disagree, and the nine radio stations from the leaked radio menu.
The playlist is for listening. The registry is for working out what is actually in the game. Same job, two pages.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I open the GTA 6 playlist?
On four services at once — Yandex Music, VK Music, Spotify and Apple Music. The buttons are at the top of this page and the track list behind them is identical, so pick whichever you already use. The Yandex player is embedded right here if you would rather not leave the page.
Does Spotify work in Russia?
The Russian Spotify service has been shut since April 2022: subscriptions cannot be created or paid for there. The Spotify link on this page is for everyone listening from elsewhere. From Russia, Yandex Music and VK Music open as they are and carry the same list.
Why does an Apple Music subscription not renew in Russia?
Apple switched off payments in Russia on 1 April 2026. An existing subscription no longer renews and a new one cannot be paid for. The playlist itself stays visible through the link, but playing it in full needs an active subscription.
What is in the GTA 6 playlist?
Songs from official Rockstar footage, plus tracks identified in the August gameplay leak by at least two independent write-ups. Disputed identifications are deliberately left out of the playlist — they stay in the track registry with a flag explaining where the sources disagree.
Do I need a subscription to listen to the GTA 6 music?
No. On the GTA 6 music page every identified track plays right in the list through official YouTube audio, with no subscription at all. The service playlists are simply more convenient for background listening or for saving the music to your own library.
When does the playlist get updated?
On events, not on a schedule. First after the Extended Look on 27 August 2026 — the lead song of the new footage goes in within an hour of publication. Then on 19 November, release day, when Rockstar reveals the full soundtrack and the complete station line-up.
