Listen to the New GTA 6 Score Track Now
The Soundtrack to Revolution: Justice Scores the Epic World of Grand Theft Auto VI
Get ready to turn the volume up, because the official score for Grand Theft Auto VI is set to drop on December 11th, hitting all major music streaming services. This isn’t just background noise; it’s a meticulously crafted sonic landscape that promises to redefine the chaotic, sprawling world of Leonida.
Steering the orchestral chaos is the Grammy Award-winning French electronic duo Justice. They didn’t just provide music for the game; they became integral architects of its atmosphere, collaborating closely with Rockstar Games to ensure the sound perfectly mirrored the thematic beats of the gameplay experience and the complex story of Jason and Lucia.
The score features thirty tracks pulled from the band’s extensive suite of material, including blockbuster collaborations like Flower in a Hurricane, which featured artists such as Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. This track alone already achieved massive attention, hitting the Billboard Hot 100 at number 62 and cracking the US Alternative Radio chart.
Justice’s genius lies in their ability to create a sound that is dynamically tuned to the action unfolding in the game. As one member noted, the sheer geographic and thematic scope of the game demanded a broad musical palette, allowing them the freedom to explore diverse emotions, genres, and textures.
Beyond those massive hits, the duo is also teasing new sounds. They recently released a track titled Pusher, which features fellow French electronic music pioneer Gesaffelstein, offering a preview of the score’s instrumental side and showcasing their collaborative edge.
The impact of the music extends beyond the digital realm. The anticipation surrounding GTA VI’s sound is already generating cultural ripples. For instance, British singer Cliff Richard experienced a surprising surge in popularity for his 1976 single, Devil Woman, following its appearance in the gameplay. Streams for the song saw a staggering 325% increase, though Richard himself remained delightfully oblivious to the musical phenomenon happening around him.
While the music builds the mood, Rockstar Games has already offered tantalizing glimpses of the game, including previews of select in-game radio stations and featured singles on the official GTA 6 website, ensuring fans get a taste of the immersive world before release.
