Rockstar Games has confirmed that Justice is composing Grand Theft Auto VI’s original score. The announcement arrived on October 15, 2026, alongside the game’s launch trailer and a new Justice collaboration called “Flower in a Hurricane.”

That confirmation answers one of the most specific questions surrounding GTA VI’s music, but it does not mean Justice is responsible for every song players will hear. Rockstar’s official material separates the original score from the game’s radio stations and podcasts, while Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album is being promoted as a separate 34-track release.

The distinction matters because GTA VI’s music rollout now covers several connected but different projects: Justice’s composed score, licensed music played through in-world stations, podcasts, and a commercial album featuring original tracks by a broad lineup of artists. Rockstar has confirmed the composer, but it has not explained exactly how Justice’s score will behave during missions, driving, combat, or free roam.

Evidence note: This article includes clearly labeled inferences about how the launch song may relate to GTA VI’s broader music rollout. Rockstar has not confirmed that “Flower in a Hurricane” is the game’s official theme, an in-game radio track, or a dynamic gameplay cue. Rockstar also has not confirmed how Justice’s score will react to missions, combat, driving, weather, or other player actions, or whether a separate Justice score album will be released.

Justice is GTA VI’s confirmed original-score composer

Rockstar’s October 15 launch-trailer announcement identifies Justice as the original-score composers for Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar’s dedicated GTA VI music page repeats that credit, describing the duo as the composers of the game’s original score and presenting “Flower in a Hurricane” as a new standalone single connected to that work.

Justice is the French electronic duo made up of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. Their confirmed role is a composer credit for the original score, not a statement that they selected, wrote, or performed every track that will be heard across Leonida’s radio stations.

That wording places Justice in the score category: music created specifically for the game’s presentation. It does not establish how large the score is, how many cues it contains, or whether every piece will be released outside the game. Rockstar has not published a complete list of Justice’s score material, so the size and shape of the project remain unknown.

The most accurate short answer is therefore simple: Justice is composing GTA VI’s original score. Saying that Justice is making the entire GTA VI soundtrack would be broader than Rockstar’s confirmed wording.

  • Confirmed: Justice is credited with composing GTA VI’s original score.
  • Confirmed: The duo consists of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay.
  • Not confirmed: That Justice composed every song heard in the game.
  • Not confirmed: The complete track list for the original score.

What Rockstar confirmed on October 15

Rockstar released the Grand Theft Auto VI launch trailer on October 15, 2026. The announcement revealed Justice’s original-score role while also drawing attention to “Flower in a Hurricane,” a new collaboration associated with the game’s launch campaign.

Rockstar’s music page gives the song a particularly clear position in the rollout. It labels the section “Score,” calls Justice the “Official Score by Justice,” and identifies “Flower in a Hurricane” as a standalone single from the original-score composers. That is stronger evidence than simply hearing a Justice track in a promotional video.

Apple Music lists the single as a one-song release dated October 15, 2026. Its credit line names Justice, Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. The listing also identifies the release as connected to Grand Theft Auto VI through its title and copyright information.

The official material does not call “Flower in a Hurricane” GTA VI’s official theme. It also does not assign the song to a particular radio station. The safest description is that it is a new Justice-led single connected to GTA VI’s original score and used in the launch-trailer rollout.

That distinction is useful because promotional music can have more than one function. A track can introduce a game to the public, appear on a commercial album, and potentially be used in the game itself. Rockstar has confirmed the first two connections, but it has not publicly explained every in-game use of this song.

  • Confirmed: The launch trailer and Justice score announcement arrived on October 15, 2026.
  • Confirmed: “Flower in a Hurricane” was released on October 15, 2026.
  • Confirmed: Rockstar connects the single with Justice’s original-score credit.
  • Unconfirmed: Whether Rockstar considers the song GTA VI’s official theme.
  • Unconfirmed: Whether the song plays on an in-game radio station.

Who appears on “Flower in a Hurricane”?

“Flower in a Hurricane” is credited to Justice with Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. That gives the song a collaboration profile distinct from the broader composer credit. Justice is the duo responsible for the announced original-score role, while the other named acts are credited on the released track.

The collaboration also explains why the single should not automatically be treated as a conventional instrumental score cue. Rockstar presents it as a standalone release, and Apple Music lists it as a three-minute song with multiple credited artists.

The song’s credit does not, by itself, reveal how it will function inside GTA VI. Rockstar has not said that it plays during a particular mission, accompanies Jason or Lucia, appears on a named station, or returns as a recurring musical motif. Those are possible uses, but they remain unconfirmed.

The available evidence does establish a direct relationship between the track and the score announcement. Rockstar’s music page places the song beneath its score section, while Apple Music confirms the release date and artist credits. That is enough to describe its role in the rollout without assigning it a specific gameplay purpose.

  • Confirmed: Justice appears on the track.
  • Confirmed: Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are credited alongside Justice.
  • Confirmed: The song is presented as a standalone release connected to GTA VI.
  • Not confirmed: A specific in-game radio station for the song.
  • Not confirmed: A specific mission, character, or story connection for the song.

The launch-trailer song is not automatically the entire score

The most important distinction is between one released song and an original game score. “Flower in a Hurricane” gives listeners a public sample of the music Rockstar is using to introduce GTA VI, but the single does not reveal how many other pieces Justice has composed.

A score can include music written to support scenes, transitions, character moments, and gameplay situations without being released as a conventional pop single. Rockstar has not said how many Justice tracks will be heard in GTA VI, whether all of them will be available outside the game, or whether the full score will receive a commercial release.

It is therefore too broad to describe “Flower in a Hurricane” as the complete GTA VI soundtrack. Rockstar’s official music information describes a much wider audio environment, including radio stations and podcasts, while the Justice announcement specifically refers to the original score.

The song’s collaborators also make the category question more complicated. The presence of Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard does not turn the track into a radio song, just as its appearance in the launch trailer does not prove that it is a mission cue. Its confirmed status is narrower: it is a Justice release connected to GTA VI’s score and launch campaign.

  • Use “original score” for Justice’s confirmed role.
  • Use “song,” “single,” or “collaboration” for “Flower in a Hurricane.”
  • Avoid calling the single the complete GTA VI soundtrack.
  • Avoid assigning the song to in-game radio without an official station listing.

How Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album fits in

Rockstar’s official music page lists Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album as a 34-track release coming November 19, 2026. That is the same date Rockstar has announced for the game’s launch.

The album includes “Flower in a Hurricane” among its publicly presented singles. Rockstar’s page also lists other tracks and artists, including Yung Lean, Travis Scott, Morgan Wallen, Fuerza Regida, Rauw Alejandro, Cardi B, and Keith Richards. The lineup demonstrates that The Album is a broad commercial music project rather than a public inventory of Justice’s score cues.

The album’s existence is important, but it does not erase the distinction between score and soundtrack. Rockstar presents the score and The Album in separate sections on its music page. Justice’s score credit appears under “Score,” while the 34-track release appears under “Soundtrack.”

That structure supports a careful reading of the rollout. “Flower in a Hurricane” can be connected to both the Justice score announcement and The Album, but the two listings do not establish that the album contains every piece Justice wrote for the game. Nor do they prove that every song on the album will play through a specific in-game station.

The official page also describes The Album as containing original tracks that capture the energy of Vice City and Leonida. That language confirms the album’s connection to the game’s world, but it still does not make the album a complete list of all music players will encounter during gameplay.

  • Confirmed: “Flower in a Hurricane” is listed among The Album’s singles.
  • Confirmed: The Album contains 34 original tracks.
  • Confirmed: The Album is scheduled for November 19, 2026.
  • Not confirmed: That every Justice score cue will be included on the album.
  • Not confirmed: That the album is a complete catalog of all music heard in the game.

Score, radio stations, and podcasts are different layers

Rockstar’s official GTA VI music page describes an in-game audio offering built around radio stations spanning multiple genres, along with talk radio and podcasts. It mentions stations dedicated to areas such as classic rock, modern Latin music, country, metal, pop, and regional rap and hip-hop.

Those broadcasts are different from the original score credited to Justice. A radio station is presented as part of Leonida’s in-world media environment. A podcast is spoken programming within that environment. The score is composed music created for the game’s broader presentation.

The categories may overlap in the way Rockstar markets them, but the available information does not show that they are interchangeable. Rockstar’s use of a dedicated “Score” section for Justice and a separate “Radio” section for Leonida’s stations is the clearest evidence of that distinction.

For players, the practical difference is straightforward. A radio song may be heard through an in-world broadcast while driving or exploring. A podcast may provide spoken entertainment within the same audio system. An original-score cue may accompany a scene or gameplay moment without being presented as a song that exists on a station.

Rockstar has not said whether “Flower in a Hurricane” will be available through a station, play only in a trailer or cutscene, appear on The Album without a radio placement, or serve more than one purpose. Those possibilities should remain separate from the confirmed facts.

  • Original score: composed music credited to Justice.
  • Radio stations: in-world broadcasts described on Rockstar’s official music page.
  • Podcasts: spoken audio included in GTA VI’s announced audio offering.
  • The Album: a separately presented 34-track commercial release.

What is still unknown about Justice’s score

Rockstar has confirmed the composer but has not described the score’s technical behavior. There is no official confirmation that Justice’s music will change dynamically during missions, react to combat, respond to weather, or shift according to whether Jason or Lucia is being controlled.

Those are reasonable questions for an open-world game, but they remain inference rather than fact. A trailer’s editing, a piece of promotional music, or the existence of a composer credit cannot establish an adaptive music system.

Rockstar also has not announced a separate Justice-focused score album before or after GTA VI’s launch. The Album’s listing does not answer that question because it does not identify every score cue or explain the complete relationship between the commercial release and the music heard during play.

The lack of detail is not evidence that those features will not exist. It only means players should wait for Rockstar, an official music release, or the finished game to establish them.

The same caution applies to the phrase “official theme.” “Flower in a Hurricane” is clearly important to the launch campaign, but Rockstar has not used that exact label in the available material. Calling it the official theme would turn a reasonable interpretation into an unsupported claim.

  • No confirmed details on adaptive or reactive score behavior.
  • No confirmed mission-by-mission use of Justice’s music.
  • No confirmed standalone Justice score album.
  • No complete public list of score cues.
  • No official statement calling “Flower in a Hurricane” GTA VI’s theme.

Why the Justice credit matters for GTA VI’s launch campaign

The Justice announcement gives GTA VI’s marketing a clear musical identity at the moment Rockstar is moving into its launch phase. “Flower in a Hurricane” is both a new release and the music attached to the launch-trailer presentation, making the composer credit part of the campaign rather than a detail hidden in the end credits.

The trailer’s use of the song connects the public-facing rollout to the game’s original-score credit, but that connection should not be overstated. The available material confirms that Justice composed the score and that “Flower in a Hurricane” is part of the launch campaign. It does not map every piece of the score to a particular story beat or gameplay system.

The wider rollout is deliberately layered. The Album gives listeners a commercial release to follow, while the radio and podcast announcements reinforce the idea that Leonida will have its own broadcast culture. Justice’s work is the newly confirmed composed layer within that larger audio world.

That distinction gives the announcement more value than a simple artist reveal. Rockstar has not merely named a musician attached to one trailer song; it has identified the duo responsible for the game’s original score. At the same time, the studio has avoided explaining how much of that score players will hear, where it will appear, or whether it will be released independently.

For now, the Justice reveal is best understood as a confirmed foundation for GTA VI’s music rather than a complete explanation of the game’s audio system.

  • Confirmed: Justice’s score credit was revealed with the launch-trailer rollout.
  • Confirmed: “Flower in a Hurricane” is part of the promotional release plan.
  • Inference: The song helps establish a musical identity for GTA VI’s launch campaign.
  • Not confirmed: The song’s exact role inside the playable game.

The bottom line before November 19

Justice is composing Grand Theft Auto VI’s original score. That is the confirmed answer, and it is more precise than saying Justice is making the entire GTA VI soundtrack.

“Flower in a Hurricane” is the clearest public piece of that announcement so far. It is a Justice collaboration featuring Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, released on October 15, 2026 and listed among the singles for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album.

The Album is scheduled for November 19, 2026 and is listed as a 34-track release, but it should not be mistaken for a complete catalog of every radio track or score cue. Rockstar’s official music page separately points to radio stations and podcasts, while the studio has not detailed how Justice’s score will operate during play.

The reliable takeaway is narrow but significant: GTA VI has a confirmed original-score composer, a new collaborative launch-trailer song, and a wider music plan that Rockstar has only partly revealed.

The remaining questions are still open. Players do not yet know whether Justice’s score will adapt to missions, combat, driving, weather, or character changes. They also do not have a complete score track list, a confirmed radio placement for “Flower in a Hurricane,” or an announcement of a standalone Justice score album.

Until Rockstar provides those details, the safest way to describe the project is this: Justice is composing the score, “Flower in a Hurricane” is a confirmed associated release, and GTA VI’s radio, podcast, and album plans form separate parts of a larger musical package.

  • Confirmed composer: Justice.
  • Confirmed launch-trailer song: “Flower in a Hurricane.”
  • Confirmed contributors: Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
  • Confirmed album date: November 19, 2026.
  • Still open: how and when Justice’s score appears during gameplay.

Rockstar’s October 15 announcement settles the composer question without settling every soundtrack question. Justice is responsible for GTA VI’s original score, while “Flower in a Hurricane” is a collaborative release tied to the launch-trailer campaign and The Album.

The official music page makes the larger structure clear: Justice’s score, Leonida’s radio stations and podcasts, and the 34-track album are related parts of GTA VI’s music rollout, but they are not the same thing.

Until Rockstar publishes more details, players should treat the score’s dynamic behavior, complete track list, radio placement, and any standalone release as unanswered questions rather than confirmed features.
