Peso Pluma, Bad Bunny and Karol G Songs in GTA 6?

Recently, a band revealed the alleged payment that Rockstar Games offered them for their music

The wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 is almost over, and any news about the game is eagerly awaited by fans. One of the most anticipated details is which songs and artists will be featured in this new installment. As Rockstar has a track record of delivering great soundtracks over the years.

Given the current popularity of the urban genre, it’s expected that the game will include several artists from this scene. Leading to speculation that Peso Pluma, Karol G, Bad Bunny, and other major names could be featured.

However, recent comments from a member of the band Heaven 17 about how much Rockstar offers musicians to use their songs in GTA suggest that we might not see as many of these highly anticipated artists in the game as we’d hoped.

How Much Does GTA Offer Artists?

The British band Heaven 17, known as pioneers of synth-pop, recently made headlines after receiving an offer from Rockstar Games to include their song ‘Temptation’ in the soundtrack of the much-anticipated game.

Martyn Ware, one of the founding members of Heaven 17, shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter) about Rockstar’s proposal. He called the offer ‘ridiculous.’ In a post, the musician revealed that Rockstar Games offered them $7,500 for the rights to the song. With no future royalties. The stark contrast between this offer and the over $8 billion Rockstar has earned from GTA 5 didn’t go unnoticed.

Ware didn’t hold back, ending his message with a blunt ‘go… yourself,’ pointing out the often-used excuse of ‘but think of the exposure.’ For many, the offer seemed insulting, and the decision to turn it down has sparked debate. Some argue that, despite the low amount, it could have been a great opportunity to give ‘Temptation’ new life and increase its media presence.

Despite the recent situation, it’s worth remembering that deals with artists can vary based on their current popularity. Rockstar is well aware that a large portion of their Latin audience would be excited to hear some of these artists in the game, which makes the chances of including at least one of their songs even higher.

In fact, a rumored leaked video recently surfaced showing motion capture for the game’s dance moves, where you can see the dancer using reggaetón steps that could be featured in GTA. Additionally, the song playing in the background is by Mexican singer Bogueto. So it wouldn’t be surprising if we end up hearing it while driving through Vice City.
