Licensed music is great and can make a game feel more real. But sadly, licenses can expire. That means the music you like in a game can go away. Grand Theft Auto 4 will soon suffer the loss of some tunes. Rockstar has confirmed a Kotaku UK report that some of the radio station music we know and love will soon be removed from the game.
A large portion of the Russian pop station, Vladivostok FM, will be going away very soon.
GTA4’s tenth anniversary will arrive on April 29, and the same thing happened to San Andreas on its tenth anniversary in 2014, and to Vice City, which turned ten in 2012.
Rockstar didn’t say when the music will be removed, but the rumor reported by Kotaku says it will be gone on April 26.
