GTA 6 rumors suggest Rockstar is developing a custom music mode and optimizing for 60 FPS on PS5 Pro. Here’s what’s rumored—and what it could mean for the game.
GTA 6 Could Let You Drop Your Own Beats in-Game
Another day, another GTA 6 rumor—but this one’s got music fans paying attention. According to a new leak, Rockstar is working on a “custom music mode” that would let players assign their own music to in-game events, similar to the throwback feature from ESPN NFL 2K5. Think: setting your own hype track for getaways, or dropping custom tunes while cruising through Vice City.
The rumor comes from HipHopGamer, who previously leaked accurate info on WWE 2K25. While this isn’t confirmation, he claims “it’s coming”, though the feature might not be available at launch.
How It Might Work (If It’s Real)
The 2K5 comparison gives some clue: in that game, you could assign tracks from your music library to specific in-game moments (touchdowns, intros, etc.). For GTA 6, imagine:
- Custom music playlists for different vehicle types
- Personal soundtracks while on foot or in missions
- Trigger-based music—like starting a shootout with your own theme song
- Integration with platforms like Spotify or Apple Music (though that’s purely speculative)
It’d be a huge vibe shift from Rockstar’s usual radio-only setup—and a first for the franchise.

PS5 Pro: Rockstar Reportedly Targeting 60 FPS for GTA 6
In parallel, another leaker claims that GTA 6 will run at 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro, thanks to direct optimization efforts between Rockstar and Sony. That’s significant given how massive GTA 6’s world is expected to be, and it would give Sony’s beefed-up console a big bragging right if true.
- Dynamic graphics settings may help scale performance
- No confirmation from Rockstar or Sony, so keep the salt handy
- But if accurate, it could sway hardware buyers once GTA 6 drops
Music’s Already a Big Part of GTA 6’s Leaked Identity
This isn’t the first time music and GTA 6 have been linked. Previous rumors include:
- Drake and DJ Khaled having their own in-game radio stations
- Jermaine Dupri hinting Drake could premiere unreleased music inside GTA 6
- Heavy speculation around music exclusives and real-time radio drops
All signs point to Rockstar making music a core pillar of the GTA 6 experience—not just as background noise, but as something interactive and evolving.
Should We Believe Any of This?
Here’s the thing: Rockstar is notoriously tight-lipped, and leakers outside of names like Jason Schreier or Tom Henderson have been hit-or-miss at best. That said:
- HipHopGamer has a track record with 2K-related titles
- 2K and Rockstar are both under Take-Two Interactive, so crossover sources aren’t impossible
- Music innovation wouldn’t be out of character—GTA radio has always been iconic
So yeah, take it all with a controller-shaped grain of salt, but don’t write it off entirely.
A Personal Soundtrack for Chaos?
A custom music mode in GTA 6 would be wild—in the best way. Combined with leaked artist collaborations and rumored console optimizations, it paints a picture of a truly next-gen GTA. One where your game sounds exactly how you want it to.
Now we wait for Rockstar to say… literally anything.
