On the Rockstar website, amongst the many screenshots of protagonist Lucia Caminos, there are two in particular that jump out, one where she is practising boxing and another where she is in the pool.

Interestingly, Synth Potato float the idea of a "Spotify-style system", which could see players picking and choosing what songs to listen to and would easily tie into the GTA phone app ecosystem.

If you have a particular track you're fond of in the GTA 6 soundtrack, you could potentially have it on repeat as opposed to waiting for it to come back on.
