In What Capacity Will we See Reggaeton in Grand Theft Auto 6?
Rauw Alejandro, the Puerto Rican reggaeton star, recently posted an image advertising Grand Theft Auto 6(GTA 6) to promote his new song, that is a part of the game album. Rauw has become increasingly more mainstream, as the hype for GTA 6 has continued. For many fans seeing Rauw get teased to be featured in the game, in some way is a big deal.
GTA 6 is not just a video game, it’s the video game, it’s the most hyped video game of all time. This time around GTA 6 takes place in Vice City, which is supposed to be their version of Miami,FL. The last game was more based around a Los Angeles,CA design, which is more known for having a Mexican background for their Latino population. However, Miami,FL is a different story, because their Latino population has a more Caribbean than Mexican population. Cubans and Puerto Ricans are some of the more common Latino backgrounds in Florida. All this leads to why we should expect a reggaeton station in GTA 6.
You may be asking, “what’s so important about a radio station in GTA 6?” These radio stations have become the soundtrack of the game, and they allow you to choose the type of music you want to listen to, when driving, or whenever else you may use the radio. Each station offers something unique, and Rockstar Games, carefully selects these soundtracks for each audience.

If we do end up getting a reggaeton radio station in the game, this will be a big deal for fans of the music, because the genre is more mainstream than it has ever been. It’s gotten to the point where reggaeton artists are becoming the normal in the United States too. All this would come right after Bad Bunny headlined the Super Bowl LX halftime show.
With reggaeton’s rise to the mainstream coming in the early 2020’s and late 2010’s we can expect songs from around that time to be heavily featured in the game. Albums like, “Famouz Reloaded” by Jhayco, “El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo” by Bad Bunny, and “Easy Money Baby” by Myke Towers, would all be great albums to have featured in a reggaeton radio station. Artists like Ozuna, Anuel AA, and El Alfa should also be expect to appear in the radio station in some capacity.
None of the albums, I listed are confirmed, and this is all wishful thinking on my part, but they would be great to see featured in some capacity. The only confirmation that Rockstar Games has posted so far is Rauw Alejandro’s new song “Macacoa 2000” which was just added to the GTA 6 album as an original song. If GTA 6 features a reggaeton station, which artists do you want to see featured in the game?
