Tomorrow (November 11), Rockstar Games will launch Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. The comprehensive collection includes Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, each one enhanced with new features. The Definite Edition will include the classic soundtracks and radio stations for each game, featuring tracks by Blondie, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Run-D.M.C., David Bowie, N.W.A., Toots and the Maytals, Royce da 5’9″, Depeche Mode, and many others. Plus, there are stations hosted by Stretch Armstrong, Axl Rose, Chuck D, George Clinton, and more. Below, check out a comprehensive list of the Definitive Edition stations and soundtracks.

Rockstar Games has claimed that the Definitive Edition releases retain the same soundtracks as the games’ 2014 re-releases, notably excluding songs featured in the original games. Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” Ozzy Osbourne’s “Bark at the Moon,” Kate Bush’s “Wow,” and Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit,” for example, don’t appear on the new Vice City remaster. In addition, San Andreas appears to no longer feature Gap Band’s “You Dropped a Bomb on Me,” N.W.A.’s “Express Yourself,” and Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name,” among others.

The source music for The Definitive Edition, as well as the ambient effects, will playback at 44.1 kHz now, too, with 5.1 surround available. The trilogy will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Rockstar Games Launcher.
