Las bandas sonoras de los videojuegos rara vez reciben el crédito que merecen, pero algunos juegos icónicos han ganado un fuerte legado musical. Similar a las increíbles bandas sonoras de los juegos de FIFA, Grand Theft Auto también ha creado una clara identidad musical.
Lanzados en 1997, las bandas sonoras originales de Grand Theft Auto fueron simplemente compuestas y grabadas por miembros del equipo de desarrollo. En el juego original, los jugadores podían elegir una emisora de radio para escuchar, dando inicio inmediato al interés de la serie por la música como parte del juego.
Para 2004, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas llevó al siguiente nivel el compromiso del juego con sus bandas sonoras. Continuando con la expansión y desarrollo de las emisoras de radio, la edición de 2004 incluyó canciones reales de artistas icónicos. A diferencia de los juegos anteriores, donde cada estación reproducía un bucle de sonido único y la misma canción era compuesta por los desarrolladores del juego, San Andreas incorporó canciones reales en el juego, con una lista de reproducción que se reproducía en diferentes órdenes en diferentes partes del juego. El juego de 2004 presentó pistas de Snoop Dogg, NWA, Public Enemy, Ice Cube y más.
Lanzado en una época mucho antes de Spotify o los servicios fáciles de transmisión de música, el equipo detrás de GTA rápidamente ganó reputación por una excelente curación musical. A medida que avanzaban los juegos, cada vez más íconos musicales se sumaron al mundo del juego, incluidos New Order, Depeche Mode, Aphex Twin, Nas, Iron Maiden e incluso nombres como Kate Bush, que nunca asociarías con un juego de carreras impulsado por el crimen.
También se han agregado artistas modernos a las bandas sonoras, convirtiéndose en una especie de sueño de lista de deseos para nuevos artistas aparecer en la banda sonora del juego. La edición de 2013, Grand Theft Auto V, presentó pistas de nombres actuales como A$AP Rocky, Health, Tyler The Creator y Dan Croll.
El sexto juego de la serie GTA ha estado en proceso durante años. Programado para su lanzamiento en 2025, las noticias del juego se filtraron en septiembre de 2022. El primer avance del juego proporciona algunas pistas sobre solo un artista que podría aparecer en la nueva edición.
Los fanáticos observadores notaron una pegatina que dice “Petty Forever” en una puerta, confirmando aparentemente la presencia de Tom Petty en la radio de GTA mientras ‘Love Is a Long Road’ musicaliza el avance. El avance se lanzó antes de tiempo debido a filtraciones de información y, hasta ahora, no hay más información sobre otros artistas que podrían aparecer en el nuevo juego.
