Daft Punk GTA 6 soundtrack

A report claims Rockstar asked Daft Punk to reunite for the GTA 6 soundtrack before Justice took the job. Rockstar has not confirmed it, and nothing in the game's official music materials mentions Daft Punk.

What the report claims#

NME reported this week that a post from the leaker account Has It Leaked, published on X on Monday October 19 at 1:43 p.m., said the approach went to Daft Punk's management: "Daft Punk's management (yes, still exist) were pitched 'a final comeback' of the duo for the GTAVI soundtrack with what was 'essentially an unlimited budget'. Justice were Rockstar's second choice."

NME recorded the immediate pushback too. One X user replied, "Source: I made this up," and Has It Leaked answered, "I've leaked Daft punk and Justice news for 10+ years. Check my record. But I understand the hesitation." NME states that Rockstar has not commented on the report.

What is actually confirmed#

Justice has the score, and that part is official. Rockstar's music page lists "Official Score by Justice" and points to the single "Flower in a Hurricane", credited to Justice with Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard. The same page describes Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album as 34 original tracks, coming November 19.

One half of Daft Punk is on the record anyway. Wikipedia lists Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo among the artists on The Album, so a Daft Punk member is credited on the project even though the duo is not.

Daft Punk split in 2021 after 28 years together. NME notes that Thomas Bangalter later said he was "relieved" about how the duo ended, and that he ruled out a reunion this year because there were "other things to explore" away from the band. NME also notes that their songs featured in an immersive Fortnite experience in September 2025.

Why we are treating it as a rumour#

Nobody with knowledge of the talks has spoken on the record. The claim comes from one anonymous leaker, it was posted without documentation, and the outlets carrying it attribute it back to that post. It is not far-fetched: a reunion pitch with a large budget fits the scale of the project. Plausible is not confirmed, so treat this as unconfirmed until Rockstar, the band or their representatives say something.

The confirmed line-up is in our GTA 6 soundtrack guide and, for in-game radio, in our radio stations guide. Justice's single is covered in Flower in a Hurricane: Justice's GTA 6 song.
