Travis Scott wasn’t the only one making noise about GTA VI today. Just hours after Scott confirmed his involvement with the game’s Jack of Hearts strip club, Future and Metro Boomin followed up with their own teases, confirming they’re part of what’s shaping up to be one of the most stacked video game rollouts in recent memory.
Neither Future nor Metro Boomin spelled out exactly what their roles look like inside the game. Scott at least gave fans a specific location to latch onto, but the duo are keeping things vague for now, which is probably intentional given how carefully Rockstar Games has been drip-feeding information since their Netflix extended showcase just weeks ago.
The most likely scenario is that both artists have music featured on one of the game’s radio stations. Rockstar is reportedly building out at least two hip-hop stations for GTA VI, one leaning into contemporary sounds and another focused on Dirty South classics from the 90s and early 2000s.
Future and Metro Boomin, with their Atlanta roots and years of collaborative work together, fit the contemporary lane pretty naturally.
They’re joining a growing list of confirmed artists that already includes Sexyy Red, Kodak Black, and Lil Wayne. That’s a serious lineup, and it tells you something about the scale Rockstar is going for with this soundtrack.
GTA has always treated its in-game radio as a genuine cultural statement, not just background noise, and the curation on GTA V and its predecessors set a high bar.
The anticipation around GTA VI has been building for 13 years, ever since GTA V launched back in 2013. The game is now locked in for a November 19 release date, and Rockstar seems to be timing these artist reveals to keep the conversation alive in the months leading up to launch.
It’s a smart play, pulling in music fans who might not be deep into gaming culture but will absolutely pay attention when their favorite artists start posting about it.
For Future and Metro Boomin specifically, this adds another chapter to a partnership that’s already produced multiple joint projects.
Their chemistry is well established, so whether they’re sharing a station, a scene, or just a playlist slot, fans of both artists have something to look forward to.
The question now is what the actual music will sound like in context, and whether Rockstar has commissioned anything original or is pulling from existing catalogs.
More artists are almost certainly coming. Rockstar has barely cracked the door open on what this soundtrack looks like, and with November still months away, there’s plenty of time for more names to surface.
