The first six radio stations have been revealed for GTA 6, complete with audio previews. Black Sabbath, Bad Bunny, Slayer and much more! Here Pure Xbox go! Rockstar Games is starting to pull back the curtain on the radio stations for GTA 6, with six of them having been revealed today along with audio previews for each one - with more to be shared in the near future. Pure Xbox'll definitely be getting more than just six, but there's still a little something for everyone in this initial selection. Pure Xbox is particularly partial to both The Chamber 106.6 and Flash FM based on the early clips that have been shared. Here's the list, along with links to the audio previews for them: * Cocoteo FM: Leonida's home for the best of modern Latin music. Hosted by El Martillo and La Gata and featuring everything from bachata and merengue to dembow and reggaeton - Cocoteo FM is el party que nunca se apaga. * Back Country Radio: MW and Delta Dawne blast renegade country music to the Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, and beyond. Stay tuned for Back Country's roving reporter, swamp meteorologist, and Delta's not-so-secret lover Mud Dog Mike checking in from the driver's seat of his Grassrivers airboat. * AfroBank FM: Turn up the gbedu with Burna and Palmsy, AfroBank FM's dynamic duo curating the best in African music, from 20th-century classics and undiscovered gems to contemporary sounds like amapiano, 3-step, and more. * The Chamber 106.6: Crushing metal has landed in Leonida. Jump in the pit with DJ Kerry and DJ Tom for classic metal from the '80s and beyond as they channel Leonida's deep metal roots. * Flash FM: The Vice City institution that delivers the best in pop music with Robyn and Alex - guaranteed to make you dance no matter where you find yourself in the Goodtime State. * Dirty South Classics: A little southern hospitality from Trick and Trina, blasting regional rap and hip-hop classics. From the beach to the block, nobody reps Leonida and the South like they do. If you haven't got a chance to listen to these right now, the audio previews contain snippets from artists such as Bad Bunny, David Allan Coe, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Slayer, Charli xcx, MGMT, DJ Khaled and other major names. What's perhaps even more interesting is that on-demand podcasts will be making their debut in GTA 6, and you can listen to these (along with the radio stations) on-foot with the use of headphones and earbuds connected to your in-game phone. "Spanning stations dedicated to everything from Classic Rock to Talk Radio, Grand Theft Auto VI players will experience the biggest and widest-ranging selection of in-game radio yet. Plus, for the first time ever, Grand Theft Auto VI introduces a series of on-demand podcasts for Jason and Lucia to experience beyond Leonida's terrestrial radio, with both radio and podcasts available to listen to in vehicles and on foot through newly introduced headphones and earbuds connected to their smartphones." Exciting stuff! There's a lot more to come, but even these initial samples are getting Pure Xbox excited for November. Which radio station out of these six do you think you'll be using the most?

Red Dead Redemption report reveals new release is coming. October 8, 2026, 9:04am A new Red Dead Redemption report reveals that Rockstar Games is planning a new release involving Red Dead Redemption 2, but right now, the project is on hold. Rockstar Games is entirely focused on the imminent release of GTA 6. Even after launch, it will be entirely focused on GTA 6 and GTA 6 Online for a bit. At some point, it will switch the majority of its resources to its next major game, believed and expected to be Red Dead Redemption 3, though a recent rumor claims the studio's next game won't actually be RDR3, but a new game in a dormant Rockstar series. As for the new Red Dead Redemption report, it comes from Nash Weedle, a well-known Nintendo insider, and a fairly reliable one at that. And Nintendo is relevant here because it's involved in the claim. According to Nash Weedle, there is a 9/10 chance that Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. There is, however, a caveat. This caveat is that the project is currently on ice. Nash Weedle does not elaborate on why this is, but it's presumably for the aforementioned reason: it's all hands on deck for the release of GTA 6. Speculating, it's possible Burn Bryte will see this port in 2027, once GTA 6 is settled. It may depend on how many resources are needed for its immediate post-launch support and GTA 6 Online. It's also going to depend on how far along the port is in development. So, 2028 seems possible as well. At the same time, there is no rush to release the port. Whenever Rockstar Games does, it will sell a meaningful number of copies automatically. After all, it is both one of the best and one of the best-selling games of all time. And for what it is worth, Rockstar Games probably won't want it anywhere near GTA 6, pulling attention away from it while simultaneously getting caught in its shadow. Can Nintendo Switch 2 run RDR2? Getting Red Dead Redemption running on a Nintendo Switch always seemed far-fetched for the simple reason it's a technically demanding game, and the Switch is the opposite of powerful. It runs, and runs incredibly, to be fair, on a PS4 and Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch 2, while not as powerful as a PS5 or Xbox Series X, is more powerful than these two last-gen machines, so the port shouldn't be too difficult, and in this regard, seems inevitable. Red Dead Redemption 2 is the third best-selling game of all time, and is closing in on 100 million copies sold, a milestone Rockstar Games no doubt will want to hit. If it does, it will become only the third game to ever sell 100 million units.
