GTA 5 was a seminal moment in gaming, when Rockstar Games returned to the Grand Theft Auto franchise and upped their game with the satire. However, what was even more impressive was Rockstar's attention-to-detail in virtually every aspect of the game.
From hilarious, satirical commercials on the radio to the pedestrian chatter on the streets of Los Santos, it is unfathomable how much effort goes into the production of a game the size of GTA 5.
One of the most beloved aspects of the GTA franchise has always been its soundtrack, heard through the various radio stations. GTA 5 has an eclectic collection of music with an impressive number of radio stations.
Each radio station plays a unique kind of music and has a particular personality, hosted by fully-voiced and realized DJ's. With GTA 5 initially releasing only for the Xbox 360 and the PS3, the game's re-release on the PS4, Xbox One and PCs saw the addition of new music in radio stations as well.
