Rockstar Pulls Song From GTA V Radio; More Tracks Expected

Rockstar removed a song from Grand Theft Auto V’s in-game radio. Players report the change across platforms and expect further removals while the company has not commented.

Rockstar Games has removed a song from Grand Theft Auto V’s in-game radio, and players noticed the change during recent gameplay sessions. The absence affects the title’s radio stations, which play in both single-player and online modes across multiple platforms.

Rockstar has not provided a public explanation or confirmed which track was removed. Players report the missing song occurs during live radio playback in the game; other station content remains available. At the time of writing, the company has not stated whether the removal is temporary or permanent.

Observers expect additional songs could be removed in the near term, but Rockstar has not given a timeline for any further changes. When licensing agreements change, licensed music can be taken down without advance notice. Rockstar has updated game audio and playlists through server-side changes and patches in previous cases.

Grand Theft Auto V, first released in 2013, includes dozens of licensed tracks across its fictional radio stations. Players seeking confirmation or details about future removals should check Rockstar’s official channels for announcements and updates.
