Explained simply
Grand Theft Auto is a video game series made by Rockstar Games, known for open-world stories set in fictional versions of real places. The sixth game is set in a fictional state inspired by Florida, with Vice City drawing on Miami.
Music is a long-running part of the series: players can listen to radio stations while travelling through the game, featuring licensed songs and presenters. That exposure can introduce artists to a large audience, and the music choices help establish the setting and mood.
The game and its launch have drawn attention from players and the music industry. Rockstar is also facing a Scottish employment tribunal over the dismissal of 31 staff, a separate matter connected to the company behind the game.
