The announcement and release of Grand Theft Auto VI trailers not only triggered a wave of enthusiasm, but highlighted a crucial aspect of the game: its soundtrack. In the GTA universe, radio is much more than a simple background and in the next chapter it will be a central element of narration and gaming experience. The soundtrack of the game is already feeding the discussions and providing clues about settings and characters. Through the latest trailers, we can guess both the musical genres that will be present, and the wide range of artists who will accompany Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos on their journeys through the new city. Demonstrated musical tracks The second trailer unveiled some of the first songs that will be broadcast on the radio in GTA 6: “Everyone has fun tonight” – Wang Chung, “Support for Children” – Zenglen and 5 Etwal, “I speak alone again” – Tammy Wynette, “Caldo Together” – The Pointer Sisters and “Love is a Long Road” – Tom Petty. This southern country fusion, Haitian kompa, pop and R&B years '80 reflects a focus on musical diversity, suggesting that the radio stations of the game will aim to satisfy the tastes of every type of player, from those who love classics to those who prefer more contemporary sounds. In addition, as in previous chapters, the soundtrack not only accompanies action but also contributes to defining the atmosphere and character of Vice City and its surroundings. News escapes on new guest stations and artists Recent indiscretions have added new names to the list of potential radio artists: DJ Khaled may have his own station, where he would present his music and perhaps even exclusive songs, given his connection with Miami and the world of radio. It is also rumoured that Kendrick Lamar could be the conductor of the radio station “GNX ”, where they could broadcast unpublished tracks. Schoolboy Q will have a dedicated station, while T-Pain confirmed his involvement after abandoning role-playing to focus on the game. We talk about over 20 confirmed radio stations, further expanding the sound supply and wealth of GTA 6. The presence of the logos of the game on the profiles of the artists on Spotify strengthens speculations on the presence of both new and themed stations. VERDETTO: MISTO La quantità di dettagli divulgati sulla colonna sonora di GTA VI è decisamente interessante. La combinazione di generi musicali e l'accento sulla diversità dei gusti del giocatore – da Wang Chung a Kendrick Lamar, passando per DJ Khaled e T-Pain – suggerisce una forte attenzione al gameplay e all’esperienza immersiva, qualcosa che ha già caratterizzato le iterazioni precedenti della saga. Tuttavia, la mera elencazione di stazioni radio potenziali con artisti ospitanti, senza ancora evidenziare come queste si integreranno nella narrazione o nel design del mondo di gioco, lascia un certo spazio alla speculazione e, francamente, a una certa dose di incertezza. L'ampiezza della potenziale offerta musicale – “oltre 20 stazioni confermate” – necessita di essere supportata da un’implementazione altrettanto valida quanto le indiscrezioni suggeriscono; al momento, rimane più un esercizio di branding e marketing che un elemento centrale del gameplay.
