GTA 6 Original Score

Rockstar has confirmed it: Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score by Justice comes out on December 11, 2026, on all major streaming services and on CD and vinyl. The Newswire announcement of October 29 says the album has 30 tracks, including "Flower in a Hurricane" and the new single "Pusher" featuring Gesaffelstein, released the same day.

What Rockstar announced#

• Composer: Justice, whom Rockstar calls "Grammy Award winners", the French duo of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay.
• Date: December 11, 2026, three weeks after the game's November 19 launch.
• Formats: all major music streaming services, CD and vinyl. Pre-saves and pre-orders are open now, including "a special limited Triple Crystal Clear vinyl". The post gives no prices.
• Tracks: 30, among them "Flower in a Hurricane" featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, "as heard in the Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Trailer", and "Pusher" featuring Gesaffelstein. Rockstar adds that "this full album also contains a number of digital bonus tracks included across all formats."

An adaptive score#

Rockstar describes the music as an "adaptive score, featuring expansive compositions all dynamically tuned to the different ways players engage with the world of Vice City and Leonida throughout Jason and Lucia's story."

Our analysis: that points to music that changes with what you are doing in the game, a quiet drive or a police chase, rather than one fixed track per mission. Rockstar has not explained how it works in play, so the December 11 album will hold fixed recordings of music that shifts inside the game.

30 tracks, or 50?#

Before the announcement, the score's only public trace was a store listing. Apple Music's New Zealand album page still showed "50 songs", "PRE-RELEASE" and 11 December 2026 when we checked again on October 29. On October 28 it named only two of them: "Pusher" (track 18, 7:02) and "Flower In A Hurricane" (track 36, 3:44). Insider Gaming reported the same 50-song listing.

Rockstar's figure is 30 tracks plus the digital bonus tracks. Our analysis: the bonus tracks probably account for the gap, but Rockstar has not given a total, so treat 30 as the confirmed album count and 50 as the store's count until the tracklist is out.

The listing's copyright line reads "℗ 2026 Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. under exclusive license to Ed Banger Records / Because Music", so the score is released through those two labels under license from Take-Two.

Pusher, the second score single#

Rockstar says "Pusher" featuring Gesaffelstein debuted on October 29. The Pusher single page lists one 7:02 track, credited to Justice and Gesaffelstein. iGrandTheftAuto reported that it went live in New Zealand first, with the rest of the world getting it at midnight local time. AltChar adds that a fan on the Justice subreddit found the track in the score album's Spotify metadata, and gives Gesaffelstein's real name as Mike Lévy.

EDM.com calls it "the second track off their official GTA VI score" and describes "pulsing bass and wailing synths that evoke the sirens of a police pursuit."

Score, album and radio: three different releases#

GTA 6 music comes in three parts, and they are easy to mix up:

• The Original Score is Justice's music written for the game: 30 tracks plus digital bonus tracks, December 11, on streaming, CD and vinyl.
• GTA VI: The Album is 34 original songs from many artists, due November 19 with the game. Our soundtrack guide tracks its singles.
• The in-game radio stations carry licensed music and talk shows inside Leonida. Rockstar's post points to its music page for previews of some of them.

"Flower in a Hurricane" sits in two of those: it is on the score, and our soundtrack guide shows Rockstar also lists it on The Album. Our Flower in a Hurricane story covers the song and what critics said about it.

What December 11 means for players#

Our analysis: with the full score dated after launch, most players will hear Justice's music for the first time inside the game. Until December 11, "Flower in a Hurricane" and "Pusher" are the only score tracks you can stream.

For the rest of the launch calendar, see the GTA 6 release date guide. The Daft Punk report covers the unconfirmed claim that Rockstar asked Daft Punk first.

Correction (October 29, 2026): the album's track count was corrected from 50, the figure on Apple Music's New Zealand listing, to 30 plus digital bonus tracks, the figure in Rockstar's announcement. The December 11 date, first seen on that listing, is now confirmed by Rockstar.
