GTA 6 Leaks Gave Fans a Soundtrack Tease, But We Want More
Ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6's Netflix showcase, a group calling itself Cyberleek has released leaked gameplay footage, reportedly to protest Rockstar's decision not to offer a physical disc version of the game. While the leak reveals substantial details about the long-awaited title, it offers only a small glimpse of the soundtrack, which has long been central to the GTA series' identity through its distinctive radio stations and era-defining music selections.
Official trailers have already hinted at an 80s-inflected sound fitting the game's Miami Vice-style Vice City setting, featuring tracks by Tom Petty and The Pointer Sisters. The leaked clips add to this with a dance-pop track, "Impact" by SG Lewis, Robyn and Channel Tres, suggesting Rockstar will again blend genres and eras, likely including nightclub-ready dance music alongside its usual rock, hip-hop and alt-rock staples. A Polygon writer used the leak as a prompt to share a personal wishlist of songs spanning the 1970s to today that they hope might feature on the eventual soundtrack.

Ahead of a Netflix showcase for Grand Theft Auto 6, gameplay footage was leaked by a group calling itself Cyberleek, reportedly as a protest against Rockstar's decision not to release the game on physical disc. The leak has revealed a wide range of details about the long-awaited game, but only a small amount about its soundtrack, which has always been a defining feature of the GTA series thanks to its in-game radio stations and carefully chosen music.
Set in a Miami-inspired Vice City with an 80s feel, GTA 6's official trailers have already featured tracks from that era, including songs by Tom Petty and The Pointer Sisters. The new leak adds a more recent dance-pop track to the mix, hinting that Rockstar may again mix music from different genres and decades, as it has done in previous games.
Soundtracks are a significant part of how fans engage with GTA games, often shaping the atmosphere of the world and prompting online discussion and speculation long before release. This story reflects that ongoing interest, with fans and commentators using the small amount of leaked information to guess at, and wish for, what else the final soundtrack might include.
