Grand Theft Auto: Muting Mayhem - A Guide for Introverts and Audio Aficionados
So, GTA 6 finally dropped like a Molotov cocktail in a kindergarten sandbox. Streets are blazing, choppers are whirring, and the airwaves...well, the airwaves are a cacophony of honking, yelling, and what suspiciously sounds like someone's grandma gargling gravel.
Listen, I get it. The adrenaline rush of online chaos is part of the GTA charm. But for some of us (myself included, shhh), the constant chatter is like tinnitus with a bad rap sheet. That's where this little guide comes in, friends. Let's learn how to mute the mayhem and enjoy the symphony of sirens in blissful, glorious silence.

How To Mute Everyone In GTA 6 |
Heading 1: The Big Button Bonanza
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.![]()
-
Interaction Menu Maestro: This is your first line of defense. Hold down that magical button (touchpad on PS, select on Xbox) and whip out the interaction menu like a gunslinger draws his iron. Scroll down to the "Voice Chat" section and hit "No One" with the grace of a ballet dancer landing a triple axel. Boom! Instant radio silence.
-
Options Odyssey: Feeling adventurous? Venture into the Settings menu, a labyrinth of sliders and toggles. Navigate to "Audio" and then "Voice Chat." This is where you can play God with the mic settings. Mute everyone individually, like picking weeds in your digital garden. Or, for the truly committed, crank the "Voice Chat Volume" down to -11, because sometimes silence isn't enough, you need the void.
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.![]()
Heading 2: Advanced Muting Maneuvers
-
The Friend Frenzy: Gather your posse, your chosen family, your fellow mute martyrs. Promote them all to friends (trust me, after enduring GTA lobbies, they deserve sainthood). Now, in the "Voice Chat" settings, switch it to "Friends Only." Bam! Instant oasis of sanity amidst the online madness.
-
The Radio Renegade: Forget voice chat, who needs it when you've got the dulcet tones of Dr. Dre and the pulsating beats of Worldwide FM? Crank up the in-game radio, my friends, and let the music drown out the digital screeching. Bonus points for singing along like nobody's watching (because, well, nobody is).
Remember, muting isn't about hating on fellow players (unless they're griefers, then by all means, mute away!). It's about choosing your own soundtrack for the chaos. It's about carving out a peaceful pocket in the storm, a place where you can appreciate the explosions, the screeching tires, and the occasional NPC falling face-first into a cactus in glorious, uninterrupted silence.
So go forth, mute warriors! Conquer the cacophony and reclaim your audio serenity. And remember, if all else fails, just grab a tank and start blasting. Nothing says "shut up" quite like a 120mm howitzer to the face.
