On-Foot Radio & Podcasts
GTA 6 is the first game in the series to let players listen to radio and on-demand podcasts while on foot, through headphones or earbuds connected to the in-game smartphone. Both were confirmed on October 8 2026 when Rockstar revealed the first six radio stations.
Rockstar confirmed on October 8 2026, when it revealed the first six GTA 6 radio stations on its official music page, that the game brings on-foot listening to the series for the first time. Jason and Lucia can connect headphones or earbuds to their smartphones and keep listening after they leave a vehicle. Kotaku reported that Rockstar confirmed it as a first in franchise history.
On-demand podcasts are also available through the same system, on foot and in a car. Rockstar's music page describes the game as featuring its biggest and widest-ranging selection of in-game radio and podcasts of any GTA to date. The podcast roster, episode count, and format have not been detailed; what is confirmed is that podcasts are a separate category from live radio stations.
In previous mainline GTA games, players tuned the radio mainly from inside vehicles. Carrying that audio on foot through a wearable device changes when and where the game's soundtrack can accompany the player. How the system interacts with combat, whether wearing headphones affects NPC awareness, and what the phone interface for switching content looks like are all unconfirmed until launch.
