GTA VI to feature in-game podcasts and at least six radio stations
Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA VI will include at least six radio stations and, for the first time in the series, on-demand podcasts. The game is available for preorder and launches on November 19.
Music has always been a major part of Grand Theft Auto games, and Rockstar Games says the sixth entry will offer the series' biggest and most varied in-game radio selection so far.
Six radio stations
Players will be able to tune in to at least six stations, both in vehicles and on foot. The lineup spans talk radio to classic rock. The stations are Cocoteo FM, Back Country Radio, AfroBank FM, The Chamber 106.6, Flash FM and Dirty South Classics.
Samples of the stations can be heard on Rockstar's website. Six singles from the game's official soundtrack, announced earlier this month, are available there too, with artists such as Yung Lean and Travis Scott among those featured.
Podcasts for the first time
Beyond music, Rockstar says that for the first time in the series, a set of on-demand podcasts will be included. Players will be able to hear fictional podcasters discussing fictional events while driving around Leonida, the game's version of Florida.
It is another sign of the level of realism the developers appear to be targeting. Netflix's extended preview of GTA VI also showed details such as a hand-holding mechanic and police characters who remember a player's appearance. A recent leak, meanwhile, revealed further personal details about the two main characters.
Grand Theft Auto VI is available for preorder and is set to launch on November 19.
