Grand Theft Auto 6is gearing up to be one of the biggest launches that the gaming industry has ever seen. With such hype surrounding the Rockstar project, rumors and leaks aboutGrand Theft Auto 6have been spreading for years now. Thankfully, the past two years have finally brought some details into the spotlight, as Rockstar released the first trailer at the end of 2023, with its second one arriving in May of this year.
It’s been a long journey for eager gamers, and as the wait grows shorter, more rumors and leaks are pouring out ahead of the launch. One of the most recent is in regard to the game’s music. According to leaker HipHopGamer,GTA 6might have a custom music modesimilar to the one seen inESPN NFL 2K5. This feature allowed players to assign chosen tracks to specific in-game moments, adding an extra level of customization to the experience. Of course, such bold claims should be taken with a grain of salt, but a custom music mode would be right at home inGTA 6.
The Backbone of Grand Theft Auto is its Great Soundtracks
Over the years, eachGTAgame has featured a story embroiled in crime and wild antics, but what drives each narrative even further are the music selections. Whether a player loves to casually cruise down the streets of Los Santos while listening to “Baker Street” by Gerry Rafferty or getting pumped up forGTA 6all over again by watching the first trailer as Tom Petty’s “Love is a Long Road” sets the scene, music remains the heart of the series.Not everyGTA 6rumor can be trusted, but a custom music mode makes so much sense that it’s easy to believe.
There have also been rumors thatGTA 6could potentially feature its own companion app.
