Music and radio have always been central to Grand Theft Auto. I bet some of your fondest gaming memories are driving through the streets of Los Santos, Liberty City, or Vice City, listening to THAT one song.
For me, it’s driving through the vast swathes outside San Andreas, listening to the ironically named America with their 1971 song, “A Horse With No Name,” originally released in the U.K. to near-unanimous panning.
This is a long anecdotal opening to say that Rockstar Games has released details on the soundtrack and radio stations that will define our trip back to Vice City, and our first trip around Leonida.
In a post on their developer blog today, Rockstar Games says this is the largest musical offering yet, with everything from Classic Rock, Modern Hip-Hop, Pop, Metal, Dance, Latin, 80’s, Electronic, Blues, Ballads, Talk Radio, and more.
To keep up with real-life listening trends, Grand Theft Auto 6 will also feature earbuds and headphones that players can choose based on personal preference for Jason and Lucia to use while driving, walking, and generally living.
As a series first, Jason and Lucia can also fill those speakers with on-demand podcasts.
Here’s a look at six of the stations featured in Grand Theft Auto VI, and the voices you’ll hear behind the mics:
