GTA 6's second trailer has sparked excitement, with fans speculating about new features. Lucia's wireless earbuds suggest the possibility of listening to music outside vehicles, a first for the series. This detail, combined with rumors of DJ Khaled potentially hosting his own radio station, hints at a Spotify-like in-game music streaming service, aligning with modern realism.

GTA 6 Trailer 2 is here, teasing a load of new features. It’s been more than 500 days since we got the first trailer of the game. Many fan theories and speculations arose, but all in vain. But when the second trailer finally arrived, it didn’t take long for them to notice every small aspect of the game, which could surface in the game.From one of those small details, many fans came to the conclusion that in GTA 6, we might be able to hear radio music even outside the car as well.

The new trailer has brought many iconic throwback easter eggs from GTA Vice City, but this new reference is aligned with the modern day world.

Will GTA 6 have in-game radio or Spotify-like service

Among the many small details in the Trailer 2, one thing that caught the eyes of the fans the most is Lucia wearing wireless earbuds in multiple scenes. This is something different from GTA 5, because we have never seen something like this before. Previously players could hear music while driving a car only. However, after spotting this detail, players believe it might be a new feature in the game.GTA 6 is going to be arguably the most realistic open-world game ever. In order to do so, Rockstar Games will leave no stones unturned. That is why to align the game with modern day realism, Rockstar might add an in-game radio station feature like Spotify or Apple Music, where you can stream songs directly, even when you are not driving a car. We have already seen characters using their mobile phones in GTA 4 and 5. So, the idea of a Spotify-like system is absolutely not vague.

This claim will get more base if we go back to February 2025 when well-known leaker @TheGhostOfHope claimed that popular American record producer DJ Khaled will have his very own radio station, which will play only his songs. Not only that, Hope also stated that there is a potential for other artists to have their own radio stations as well.

However, we have to keep in mind that these are just mere speculations as nothing has been confirmed by Rockstar Games. Those earbuds on Lucia might be a customization feature as well instead of being actual usable headphones. Read More:Two trailers down and here’s why a third GTA 6 trailer makes perfect sense
