Grand Theft Auto 6 is nearing release, and anticipation is high, with fans discussing what they hope to experience in the game, particularly its iconic radio stations. Music has always been a pivotal element in the Grand Theft Auto series, with its radio stations serving as both parodies of real-world media and time capsules for the eras in which the games are set.
Players have expressed desires for a diverse range of audio content. One popular suggestion is the inclusion of Alt-J's "Something Good," cited as a fitting track for driving sequences, reminiscent of its use in Life is Strange. The idea of late-night drives through the game's setting of Leonida accompanied by this song has been shared as a desirable experience.
There is also a strong call for the game to embrace its regional setting with music inspired by "Real Florida Jit" artists. Names like Denzel Curry, Kodak Black, Smokerpurpp, Trick Daddy, and Ice Billion Berg have been mentioned as ideal inclusions for a station that reflects Florida's unique musical landscape and the game's intended tone. The sentiment is that a station focusing on Florida natives would align well with the realistic absurdity the game is expected to deliver.
Another frequently requested track is Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight." The imagery conjured is of driving a convertible at night with the song's iconic drums playing, evoking a classic Grand Theft Auto atmosphere. Given the song's previous appearance in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, its return in the modern-day Vice City setting of GTA 6 is seen as a natural fit.
Beyond music, some players are looking forward to the parody content that Grand Theft Auto is known for. Suggestions include a parody news channel that players could listen to for hours, and a conspiracy talk show hosted by comedian Tim Dillon. These ideas lean into the series' history of satirical commentary on media and culture.
Perhaps the most unconventional suggestion is a radio station dedicated solely to monks and Gregorian chants, with no option to turn it off. This concept, described as having "incredible cursed energy," is seen by some as perfectly aligning with the eccentric and often bizarre nature of the Grand Theft Auto series.
