A fan has collected some of the newly confirmed songs from Grand Theft Auto 5.
As can be expected, Rockstar has built up a diverse and intelligently curated playlist for the game’s many music stations. Surprising highlights include Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way, Pat Benatar’s Shadows of the Night, Lil B’s Rent Due, Billy Ocean’s Nights, Jackson Sisters’ I Believe In Miracles, and even Smokey Robinson’s Why You Wanna See My Bad Side.
There is no lack of aggressive adrenaline fueled songs in the game, of course, but Rockstar indulges fans who perhaps want to play the game ironically, or even better, wants fans to feel welcome and relax playing the game, whatever their musical preference. There is no doubt they drew from musical tastes of all types, and with plans for ongoing long term development, they are capable of keeping those stations updated for the next few years.
You can read the 157 confirmed tracks, arranged by radio station, and click through for links to sample many of them (most on YouTube) below. You can also check out a Spotify playlist of all these tracks here.
Grand Theft Auto 5 will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 18, 2014, and on PC January 27, 2015.
