GTA VI Launch Trailer Confirms French Duo Justice Scored the Game
Published:
In brief
Rockstar Games has confirmed that French electronic duo Justice composed the original score for Grand Theft Auto VI. The game's October 15, 2026 launch trailer debuted a new Justice track, "Flower in a Hurricane," featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, ahead of the game's November 19, 2026 release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
What Rockstar Announced
On October 15, 2026, Rockstar Games posted the launch trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI on its official site. The page credits the trailer's music to Justice, identified there as the game's original score composers, together with featured artists Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, confirming that the Paris duo scored the game itself rather than contributing a single licensed song. The trailer also marked the debut of the track "Flower in a Hurricane."
French gaming outlet Ecran Large reported that the roughly 90-second trailer follows protagonists Jason and Lucia as they rise through the criminal underworld of the game's fictional Florida setting, showing armed robberies, a stealth sequence through mangroves, a safe-cracking scene and action set pieces, all cut to Justice's synth-driven music.
The Song and Its Guest Artists
"Flower in a Hurricane" pairs Justice members Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay with Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, singer SZA, and Australian band King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Music site Stereogum described the track as resembling 1980s-style synth-rock, with Parker and SZA trading vocal lines, and said Justice's retro-leaning sound suits the game's Vice City setting.
According to French electronic-music outlet French Touch, the song was released as a standalone single on October 15, 2026, and is also set to appear on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, a 34-track soundtrack compilation tied to the game's launch. Reported contributors to that wider soundtrack include Keith Richards, Travis Scott and other artists, according to the same report.
Who Is Justice
Justice is a French electronic duo formed in Paris in 2003, composed of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, according to their Wikipedia entry. The pair built their reputation on electro-house tracks blending rock, disco and metal influences, including early hits "We Are Your Friends" and "D.A.N.C.E." Their remix of MGMT's "Electric Feel" won a Grammy in 2009, and their album Woman Worldwide won the Grammy for Best Electronic/Dance Album in 2019.
Justice and Tame Impala have worked together before: their 2024 collaboration "Neverender," from the album Hyperdrama, won the Grammy for Best Electronic/Dance Recording in 2025. Stereogum noted that "Flower in a Hurricane" extends that partnership into a four-way collaboration for the GTA VI campaign.
Release Date and Trailer Timing
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Ecran Large noted that the game had gone through a lengthy development period marked by repeated delays before Rockstar accelerated its promotional campaign in the lead-up to launch.
According to Ecran Large, the launch trailer followed an extended gameplay presentation that Rockstar hosted exclusively on Netflix, showing roughly 26 minutes of footage, as part of a promotional push that picked up pace from late 2025 onward.
