Justice Composes Soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto VI

In a significant development within the gaming industry, Rockstar Games has announced that the French electronic music duo Justice will compose the original score for the highly anticipated video game, Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI). The collaboration signifies a noteworthy shift in the musical landscape of the series, which has previously engaged multiple artists to contribute to its eclectic soundtracks.

Justice has recently unveiled their contribution to the game’s expansive soundtrack with the release of the track titled “Flower in a Hurricane.” This song is further noteworthy due to its collaboration with notable artists including Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, offering a glimpse of its vibrant sound within the game’s recent launch trailer. This marks a consequential evolution since the last Grand Theft Auto score, which was a collaborative effort involving artists like Alchemist, Tangerine Dream, Woody Jackson, and Oh No, mixed by DJ Shadow in 2013.

The impending GTA VI soundtrack will feature an impressive collection of 34 tracks. It is being progressively revealed ahead of the game’s release on November 19. So far, nine songs have been made public, showcasing contributions from artists such as Yung Lean, Travis Scott, and Cardi B. Furthermore, in a recent announcement, Rockstar introduced the in-game radio stations, which will be hosted by a variety of popular figures, including Bad Bunny, Robyn, and Lana Del Rey among others.

Justice’s involvement comes on the heels of their 2024 album, Hyperdrama, which includes the Grammy Award-winning track “Neverender,” another collaboration with Tame Impala, earning acclaim for excellence in the dance/electronic music category. This latest venture by Rockstar Games not only highlights the synergy between the gaming and music industries but also emphasizes the growing trend of integrating high-profile artists to enhance the overall gaming experience.

As the excitement builds for the GTA VI release, fans eagerly anticipate how the fresh sounds and innovative collaborations will shape the thematic and atmospheric qualities of the game’s environment.
