One of the songs heard in the alleged GTA 6 gameplay footage that recently surfaced online has apparently been identified. During a video reportedly showing Jason driving through the streets of Leonida, music can be heard playing from the vehicle’s radio. Fans investigating the footage have identified the track as “Impact,” a 2020 collaboration between British producer SG Lewis, Swedish pop artist Robyn and American artist Channel Tres. The discovery potentially gives fans another glimpse at the type of music Rockstar Games has considered for GTA 6’s radio stations, although there is currently no confirmation that the song will appear in the final game.
GTA 6 Fans Identify Song Playing During Jason Gameplay
The latest alleged GTA 6 leak continues to generate discoveries within the community.
After development footage reportedly showing Jason driving around the game’s world began circulating online, some fans turned their attention away from the gameplay itself and toward something playing in the background: the car radio.
The song heard during the driving sequence has now been identified by multiple members of the community as “Impact” by SG Lewis, featuring Robyn and Channel Tres.
The identification matches the commercially released version of the track, providing a considerably stronger basis for identifying the song than speculation based solely on a short portion of audio.
However, the discovery raises a much more interesting question for GTA fans.
Could “Impact” actually be part of GTA 6’s soundtrack?
What Is “Impact” by SG Lewis?
“Impact” isn’t a new song created specifically for Grand Theft Auto VI.
The electronic track was officially released on August 5, 2020, bringing together SG Lewis, Robyn and Channel Tres. Apple Music categorizes the single as electronic and lists its original release as a PMR/EMI release.
SG Lewis also worked with Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs on the production. Speaking around the song’s original release, Lewis highlighted the chemistry between Robyn and Channel Tres as one of the elements that made the collaboration particularly special.
Channel Tres explained at the time that the song revolves around the emotional impact another person can have on someone’s life, particularly when past experiences cause someone to resist a relationship that could ultimately be positive.
The track was subsequently included on SG Lewis’ debut studio album, times, released in 2021.
Could “Impact” Be Part of GTA 6’s Official Soundtrack?
This is where things become considerably less certain.
If the alleged development footage is authentic, the presence of “Impact” playing from Jason’s vehicle suggests that Rockstar was at least using the song during development.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean the track will be included in the final version of Grand Theft Auto VI.
Music heard in development builds can potentially be placeholder material, licensing arrangements can change and content can be removed or replaced before release.
Rockstar Games has also not officially announced “Impact” as part of GTA 6’s soundtrack.
For that reason, the discovery should currently be considered evidence that the song apparently existed within the version of GTA 6 represented by the footage, rather than confirmation of its inclusion in the finished game’s radio lineup.
Robyn Already Has History With Grand Theft Auto
There’s another detail that makes the discovery particularly interesting.
This wouldn’t be Robyn’s first connection to a Grand Theft Auto soundtrack.
Her music has previously appeared within Rockstar’s enormously influential approach to licensed radio music, making her presence in apparent GTA 6 development footage particularly noteworthy for longtime players.
And stylistically, “Impact” wouldn’t feel out of place within the musical identity Rockstar has been establishing for GTA 6.
The game returns players to Vice City and the wider state of Leonida, a fictionalized version of Florida. Rockstar’s official GTA 6 promotional material has already placed considerable emphasis on music, nightlife, cars, beaches and the broader cultural atmosphere surrounding Vice City.
An electronic dance track such as “Impact” could therefore fit naturally within one of GTA 6’s potential radio stations.
That doesn’t tell us which station the song could belong to, however, and Rockstar hasn’t announced the complete radio lineup.
The Discovery Could Offer Another Small Clue About GTA 6’s Radio Stations
Radio has historically been one of Grand Theft Auto’s defining features.
Rockstar doesn’t simply use licensed music as background audio. GTA radio stations are typically built around specific musical identities, complete with DJs, fictional advertisements, talk shows and cultural satire.
As a result, identifying even a single song potentially being used during GTA 6 development immediately raises questions about the wider soundtrack.
If “Impact” survives into the finished game, it could potentially help indicate the musical direction of one of GTA 6’s electronic or dance-focused stations.
But identifying an entire radio station from one track would currently be speculation.
The Song Was Heard During the Alleged Jason Driving Video
The context in which the song appears is also significant.
The footage in question is reportedly one of the newly circulated GTA 6 development videos and shows Jason driving a vehicle through the game’s world.
During that sequence, “Impact” can apparently be heard playing through the vehicle radio.
Community members subsequently began asking about the unidentified track, with separate discussions published on August 19 reaching the same identification: SG Lewis, Robyn and Channel Tres’ “Impact.”
This makes the song one of the more easily verifiable details to emerge from discussion surrounding the footage.
The larger leak itself remains a different matter.
Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have not publicly authenticated the newly circulated gameplay at the time of writing, meaning conclusions about GTA 6 based on the material should continue to be treated cautiously.
Is “Impact” Confirmed for GTA 6?
No.
While the song has apparently been identified in the alleged development footage, Rockstar Games has not officially confirmed “Impact” for GTA 6.
The distinction is important.
What can currently be said is that people examining the alleged gameplay have identified the music heard while Jason is driving as “Impact,” and the identification corresponds with the existing 2020 song from SG Lewis, Robyn and Channel Tres.
What cannot yet be established is whether the track remains in GTA 6’s current build or will be included when the game launches.
Until Rockstar reveals more information about GTA 6’s radio stations and soundtrack, “Impact” should therefore be treated as a potential GTA 6 song rather than a confirmed addition to the final soundtrack.
Still, for fans examining every detail surrounding Rockstar’s next Grand Theft Auto, the discovery provides another intriguing piece of information about what the studio may have planned for the sounds of Leonida.
