The upcoming GTA 6 might retain one of GTA 5’s most beloved features, celebrity-curated radio stations, with rumors suggesting major artists like Drake could get their own in-game platforms. During a recent interview, producer Jermaine Dupri hinted that Drake secured a radio station in the next Grand Theft Auto installment, though he didn’t explicitly name GTA 6. Given that Drake has never appeared in the series before, fans speculate this points to the highly anticipated 2025 release.
Dupri also revealed an intriguing detail: Drake’s station could feature exclusive, unreleased tracks, potentially making GTA 6 a platform for music premieres. Another artist reportedly joining the lineup is DJ Khaled, whose Miami roots align with the game’s Vice City setting. Both musicians have strong ties to the location, Drake filmed his “God’s Plan” video there, while Khaled launched his career in the city.
This wouldn’t be Rockstar’s first collaboration with high-profile artists. GTA 5 featured Frank Ocean’s radio channel, and GTA 4 included a station hosted by jazz legend Roy Ayers. Music has always played a pivotal role in the franchise, enhancing immersion with curated playlists that reflect each game’s vibe.
Beyond car radios, GTA 6 might expand how players experience music. Early screenshots show protagonist Lucia wearing headphones, sparking theories that walking characters could stream tracks on the go, a first for the series.
Originally slated for a 2025 launch, GTA 6 was delayed to 2026 to allow Rockstar more time for polish. The extra development period suggests the team is aiming to deliver an experience that lives up to sky-high expectations, possibly with even more surprises in store for fans.
