TheGTAseries has always been satirical, with many recognised brands, politicians and celebrities all facing parody and satire at some point over the franchise’s 26-year history. The settings of variousGTAgames are even parodies of well-known US cities. Both Los Santos and Vice City have made fun of the popular culture in Los Angeles and Miami respectively in the past. However, it appears that Joe Rogan may be introduced intoGTA 6wholesale without being altered or parodied in any way.
A Brand-New Experience: How Will Joe Rogan Feature in GTA 6?
According to an anonymous source for the websiteAudioviserGTA 6will incorporate Joe Rogan into the game via his podcast the “Joe Rogan Experience”. Although details are still vague, the source believes that players will be able to tune into a JRE radio station while driving vehicles. Due to the lengthy nature of the podcast, it’s more than likely that Rockstar will broadcast clips that will be relevant to the game’s setting rather than full episodes.

Although it may surprise some players to see a real-life celebrity accurately represented in aGTAgame, Joe Rogan is not the first famous face to appear, mostly unaltered in the series. In 2021GTA Onlinereleased the free DLC “The Contract” featuring Rapper and producer Dr. Dre. In the mission, players are contracted by Dr. Dre to help get back his phone featuring three unreleased songs.
While the Dre that appears inGTA Onlineis a tad bit more violent than his real-life counterpart his appearance and voice are unchanged. The fact that Rockstar licensed his face and likeness to feature in the game shows that they may be planning more celebrity cameos in the future.
