Music has always been a core part of the Grand Theft Auto experience. From the iconic 80s tracks in Vice City to the diverse radio stations in each new release, licensed songs help shape the atmosphere of the game. Players often spend hours driving through GTA's vast worlds, and the real-world music playing on the in-game radio adds to the immersion. For Grand Theft Auto 6, fans are eagerly anticipating another rich catalog of songs, but controversy has now emerged around how Rockstar compensates artists for their contributions.
