Grand Theft Auto VI is poised to revolutionize the gaming world, especially in how music is integrated into open-world games. A recent announcement from Grammy-winning music producer Jermaine Dupri has sparked excitement, hinting that artists might be able to upload their music directly into the game. 
While Dupri didn’t confirm it explicitly for GTA VI, it seems highly likely given the timing and the innovative direction of the game. This feature is something that could be added to the upcoming release, scheduled for May 26th, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
Dupri also mentioned that rapper Drake would have his own radio station in the game, and there’s speculation that he could upload exclusive tracks that aren’t available elsewhere. This could turn GTA VI into a music streaming platform similar to Spotify, offering an entirely new experience for players as they cruise through the game’s world.
While this information should be taken with caution, it makes sense for Rockstar Games to incorporate such a feature, considering the prominence of music in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Music has always played a major role, enhancing the atmosphere and setting the tone for the gameplay. If this feature comes to fruition, it would likely be available to a wide range of artists, providing players with diverse playlists. Imagine cruising through the streets of GTA VI with classic rock anthems like Iron Maiden’s “2 Minutes to Midnight,” Megadeth’s “Peace Sells,” and Ozzy Osbourne’s “Bark at the Moon” blasting in the background-what a nostalgic treat that would be!
