They have their own music label that helps handle music copyright & they have a different deal structure in place. V has 440+ licensed music, around 200+ is what we hear on the radio stations. Rockstar also likes to get more unknown, smaller artists to create music on some of the radio stations & these are much easier to pay fees for due to "exposure".

To my re-collection, none of V's music has been pulled since the launch in 2013 & I know at least 1-2 radio stations have been added in that time frame. I wouldn't worry about music in VI.

Well GTA V has been in continuous development since launch and raking in cash. It's probably been worth it to renew licensing deals. I'll be very interested to see what happens once GTA VI goes live and V shifts into maintenance mode.
 
And just like that, the game is paid for (if we go by the $1-2 billion development cost reports). For comparison, according to Wiki, V released to $815 million in 24 hours & just over 11 million copies. In 3 days, it amassed $1 billion. In 6 weeks, Rockstar had shipped 29 million units.

According to online reports, Rockstar Games' highly anticipated title has surpassed 39 million pre-orders worldwide, generating more than $3 billion in revenue ahead of its November 19, 2026 launch.

Edit* I guess I had a free article, b/c the story is locked for me now behind a pay wall. But, I wanted to share an actual news source instead of random social media posts. Will try to source another outlet.

That’s wild. Not surprising, but wild. Wikipedia reads GTA V made ten billion over its lifetime. Wonder if that three billion will be surpassed if R* release GTA6 expansion like TLAD and TBOGT for GTA6 character arcs.

It will be likely surpassed as we get closer to launch & more info comes out. And then of course, remasters & "Enhanced" editions that VI will probably get.

Much of V's billions also comes from it being intertwined with Online since the beginning. In the past few years, though, Rockstar has separated them allowing you to buy Story Mode or Online & I personally think that is what will happen by Dec./January, hence why there has not been a single peep about VI's online mode. I think Rockstar wants full focus on the Story of VI b/c Online will be its own $30-$40 "game" you'll have to purchase & then need a PS/Xbox sub. to play whilst they use GTA+ to profit off it. That's potentially $600,000,000-$650,000,000 right off the bat if they can get 20 million people to buy into it & a small fraction of them to sign up for GTA+ in the first month.
