Def Leppard's 1987 power ballad "Love Bites," from the album Hysteria, plays from roughly 6:43 to 7:25 in Grand Theft Auto VI's Netflix Extended Look, set inside Jason and Lucia's apartment. The 26-minute gameplay preview, produced by Rockstar with Netflix from PlayStation 5 footage, premiered on August 27, 2026. GameRant documented the placement with a timestamp and scene description. Whether this song appears on any in-game radio station, or only in this preview footage, has not been confirmed by Rockstar, so its final soundtrack placement remains unverified. Confidence in this record is high, since it is drawn from a timestamped major press account of confirmed official footage.
