However, I doubt Red Dead Redemption will face any music licensing issues.As noted earlier this month, license expirations mean the end for some cornerstones of the GTA IV soundtrack, and that update is now live. Rockstar and Microsoft also recently announced that Red Dead Redemption will be Xbox One X Enhanced today meaning it will be given an extra performance and graphical boost. Though to be fair, Grand Theft Auto 4 was also pretty revolutionary for its time. No doubt it also helped Grand Theft Auto V become the success that it did. Music plays a huge role in the feel and liveliness of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto games. The statement says that a large chunk of licensed music is from the Russian station, Vladivostok FM, so the new songs could also be of the Russian pop genre. In the case of Grand Theft Auto 4 it seems that Rockstar has a contingency plan in place, which is to replace some of the expired songs with new songs.

This is a similar situation to other times Rockstar grappled with music licenses including a PC patch that removed songs from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and the time a dispute over a Michael Jackson licensed song temporarily removed the PC version of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Kotaku UK reported how Grand Theft Auto 4 first came out on PS3 and Xbox 360 back in April 29, 2008, and apparently had 10-year licensing agreements for some of the songs in the game. We will update our customer support website with new information as soon as it is available."
However we are replacing some of those songs with a new set of songs on that station. "Due to music licensing restrictions, we are required to remove certain songs from the in-game soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto IV and its Episodes, in particular a large portion of the Russian pop station, Vladivostok FM. In a statement to USgamer Rockstar Games confirmed that some songs will be leaving the game due to expired licenses, but also announced that there will be some new songs added as replacements. That means that these licensed songs could be removed from the game altogether. Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email was reported earlier that on Apa bunch of licenses for music featured in Grand Theft Auto 4 will expire.
