Russian singer Glukoza’s “Швайне” (aka “Schweine”) was on the chopping block, and her song is one of the first that players hear in the game. But the removal of certain songs will have an effect on the original atmosphere of GTA 4. The removal of expiring licensed songs is not much of a surprise these days, considering that we’ve seen similar updates happen to many other games. The full list of titles, compiled by members of the GTA Forums and r/Games subreddit, is below. GTA 4’s classic rock radio station, Liberty Rock, was also hit pretty hard songs like The Smashing Pumpkins’ “1979,” David Bowie’s “Fascination” and ELO’s “Evil Woman” have been pulled from digital versions of the game with this week’s update. As foretold earlier this month, an update for Grand Theft Auto 4 released this week drastically changed the game’s licensed soundtrack, as licenses for songs expire alongside the game’s 10-year anniversary.Īnd as expected, one of the game’s radio stations, the Russian and Ukranian music channel Vladivostok FM, was hit hardest.
