However, fans recently noticed one song has been removed from the Space 103.2 radio station without any announcements from Rockstar: “Can’t Hold Back (Your Lovin’)” by Kano.

The latest installment in the series, Grand Theft Auto 5, has the most songs to choose from with sixteen radio stations and more than four hundred tracks between them. Rockstar Games has excelled in this sense its selection of songs added to the various radio stations in Grand Theft Auto titles over the years has left keen memories in the minds of those who play them. The company previously released a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas patch on PC to remove music content, and at one point it was in a squabble over Michael Jackson song licensing for GTA: Vice City.Nothing sets the vibe for a video game quite like the music that accompanies it. This isn’t the first time Rockstar has removed music from GTA games due to licensing issues. “We will update out customer support website with new information as soon as it is available,” the company said in its statement. The station will be given new songs to replace the removed content, though the company didn’t provide a list of removals and additions.

The removal will particularly affect the “Vladivostok FM” in-game Russian pop radio station, according to the company. Rockstar confirmed the news today in a comment to the same publication, stating that it has to remove some GTA IV songs, as well as some music from the game’s Episodes.

That expiration will happen just short of the game’s tenth anniversary, hinting that Rockstar had penned a decade-long agreement for the content. News about the license expiration surfaced from Kotaku earlier this week when it reported that some Grand Theft Auto IV music licenses will expire on April 26.
