GTA VI's Soundtrack Is Already All Over the Place—and We're Here For It

When Rockstar dropped that extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI, they weren't playing around with the soundtrack reveal. We're talking Birdman and Lil Wayne sharing space with Kodak Black. Sexxy Red and producer Tay Keith in there too. But here's where it gets interesting—they're balancing that new wave energy with straight-up classic rock: Depeche Mode, Phil Collins, Def Leppard, Prefab Sprout, even the Bellamy Brothers.

Then somebody threw Cliff Richard in the mix and we all had to do a double-take. And !!!—the indie electronic crew—sitting right there alongside everything else.

GTA soundtracks have always been about collage, about creating a world where a trap track and an '80s synth-pop joint make equal sense cruising down the same digital street. It's chaotic on paper, but that's the texture of the game. The real question isn't what they're playing—it's how deep the actual radio stations go when the game drops. That's where the magic lives.
