Trailer 3 Allegedly Features a Rolling Stones Song — Music Industry Source Leaks

A new rumor from someone allegedly connected to the music industry claims GTA VI's upcoming Trailer 3 will be set to a Rolling Stones track that references New York City — a nod to Lucia's backstory.

Another week, another Trailer 3 rumor. This one is unusual — it didn't come from the gameplay-leak side of the community, but allegedly from someone connected to the music industry.

The Claim

A source has told several outlets that Trailer 3 will be scored by a Rolling Stones song. The song allegedly opens with the line:

"The police in New York..."

Several Rolling Stones tracks fit that description loosely, but the most-cited candidate is one of the band's mid-1970s era tracks with prominent NYC references.

Why This Would Make Sense

The song choice — if real — fits the narrative direction Rockstar has been hinting at:

  • Lucia Caminos is from Liberty City (GTA's New York analogue) before relocating to Leonida
  • Trailer 1 used "Love Is a Long Road" by Tom Petty — a track about restless escape
  • Trailer 2 leaned harder on Vice City synth-and-coastline visuals
  • A gritty, NYC-referencing Rolling Stones cut would be an effective bridge: it pivots back to Lucia's origins while setting up Vice City as the destination

    • Why You Should Doubt It

  • The source has no public track record — first time surfacing with a GTA VI claim
  • "I heard from someone in the music industry" is one of the most common fabrication patterns for fake leaks
  • Trailer music negotiations are handled through tight legal/licensing channels — leaks at this level are very rare
  • The Rolling Stones specifically are one of the most expensive licenses in popular music — that's not impossible for Rockstar, but it would be notable

    • The Bigger Picture

    Music in GTA trailers has always been a marketing weapon. Trailer 1's track topped Spotify GTA-related searches for weeks after release, and Tom Petty's catalog saw a measurable streaming bump.

    If Rockstar is planning a Rolling Stones moment for Trailer 3, it's a strong signal they want this trailer to land with maximum cultural impact — bigger than Trailer 2.

    But for now: treat it as a single-source rumor. There's no way to verify a music licensing leak without a second corroborating source, and so far that hasn't surfaced.
