Justice scores Grand Theft Auto VI, debuts new single in launch trailer
Grand Theft Auto VI will sound like Justice.
Rockstar Games has revealed that the French electronic duo composed the original score for Grand Theft Auto VI, the music written specially to sit under the game's story and world. The company confirmed the news alongside its Launch Trailer on 15 October 2026. Rockstar Games
Justice is Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, bandmates whose partnership was noted by the BBC back in 2021. Rockstar describes them as an electronic duo, a shorthand for music built with synthesisers, samples and drum machines rather than guitars and drum kits. Variety also identifies them as a French electronic duo.
The Launch Trailer does double duty. It features new music from Justice. It also gives that music its first public outing inside the world of the game.
That centrepiece is "Flower in a Hurricane". The track is a standalone single by Justice featuring Tame Impala and SZA, according to Rockstar's trailer page. Rockstar Games Standalone means it arrives on its own, rather than as part of an album. Featuring means Tame Impala and SZA are credited guests on the song.
The trailer carries the debut of the song. A debut in this sense is simple. It is the first time the public hears it. Rockstar lists the debut on its dedicated launch-trailer page for the game.
Word of the score credit spread quickly. Pitchfork reported on the same day that Rockstar had revealed Justice as the composers of the game's original score. An original score is different from a licensed soundtrack. A soundtrack gathers existing songs. A score is composed for the project, cued to action, mood and place.
For players, this means two things at once. There is the music made to live inside the game. And there is a new song arriving through the game first, before it lives elsewhere.
It is an unusual way to launch a single. Game trailers often borrow a familiar song to set a tone. Here the trailer introduces one. That gives fans of the game and fans of the artists the same entry point: press play.
