Six radio stations revealed, plus podcasts and listening on foot
OfficialRockstar named six of the in-game radio stations of Grand Theft Auto VI and confirmed two firsts for the series: on-demand podcasts, and radio that can be heard on foot through headphones.
On October 8 Rockstar detailed six stations: Cocoteo FM (modern Latin music), Back Country Radio (country), AfroBank FM (African music from older classics to amapiano), The Chamber 106.6 (metal), Flash FM (pop, a station that first appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City) and Dirty South Classics (Southern rap and hip-hop). Each has its own hosts, and previews can be heard in the Music section of the official site.
Rockstar says the game has the largest and most varied radio selection in the series, from classic rock to talk radio, but it has not published the full list of stations or songs. For the first time there are on-demand podcasts, and both radio and podcasts can be played in vehicles and on foot, using headphones or earbuds connected to the characters' smartphones.
For players this means music is no longer limited to time spent driving. Rockstar said more information about the game's music would follow.
