A British musician claims to have rejected a derisory offer to have one of his songs included on 'Grand Theft Auto VI'.
Grand Theft Auto is a hugely successful franchise
Martyn Ware, the frontman of the band Heaven 17, has taken to social media to claim that Rockstar Games - the video game publisher responsible for the money-spinning franchise - recently approached him about potentially including a song on the soundtrack.
Martyn wrote on X: "I was recently contacted by my publishers on behalf of Rockstar Games re the possibility of using Temptation on the new Grand Theft Auto 6
"Naturally excited about the immense wealth that was about to head my way, I scrolled to the bottom of the email re the offer…
"IT WAS $7500 - for a buyout of any future royalties from the game - forever…
"To put this in context, Grand Theft Auto 6 grossed, wait for it…
"$8.6 BILLION
"Ah, but think of the exposure… (sic)"
'Grand Theft Auto VI' is one of the most anticipated video games of all time.
The long-awaited title - which will be the eighth main 'Grand Theft Auto' game, following 2013's 'Grand Theft Auto V' - is set to be released in late 2025.
