Fan Theories Proven True as Justice Confirmed to Helm Original Score for Grand Theft Auto VI
In an announcement that validates months of fervent online speculation, Rockstar Games have revealed that French electronic luminaries Justice are the masterminds behind the entire original dynamic score for Grand Theft Auto VI.
The news confirms what sharp-eared fans have been theorising across message boards ever since earlier preview clips and key showcase moments teased the duo’s signature electro-house textures. While listeners had long suspected Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay were involved in crafting the soundscape for the upcoming blockbuster, Rockstar have now made it official: Justice are handling the game’s full dynamic soundtrack score from the ground up.
To mark the milestone reveal, the Parisian pair have dropped a star-studded new single titled ‘Flower in a Hurricane’, which serves as the sonic anchor for the newly unveiled Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Trailer. The track brings together an eclectic, heavyweight roster featuring fellow Grammy winners Tame Impala and SZA, alongside Aussie psychedelic rock icons King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
The high-octane collaboration follows earlier score previews heard during Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look and other major promotional rollouts. While a dedicated original score album collecting Justice’s full suite of compositions will receive further details down the track, ‘Flower in a Hurricane’ is already available as a standalone single and will appear on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, the official soundtrack release now up for pre-order on vinyl and CD.
For Justice, helming the score of the most anticipated video game release in history marks another massive career peak. Emerging two decades ago under the Ed Banger Records banner with groundbreaking tracks like ‘Waters of Nazareth’ and their debut LP’s breakout anthem ‘D.A.N.C.E.’, the duo have continuously reshaped modern electronic music.
Taking complete charge of the GTA VI dynamic score builds directly on the runaway momentum of their 2024 album Hyperdrama, which opened with a celebrated Coachella performance, swept arenas across North America, and collected a Grammy Award for Best Electronic Recording for their multi-platinum Tame Impala collaboration ‘Neverender’. Now, with their music actively reacting to player decisions in Leonida, Justice are set to define the pulse of gaming’s newest chapter.
