Justice Opens Up About Creating GTA 6’s Original Score in New Interview
We’ve got some interesting new details about GTA 6’s music, this time straight from the people responsible for creating its original score. In a new interview with French magazine Rockyrama, electronic music duo Justice opened up about working with Rockstar Games and what it was like creating music for one of the biggest video games ever.
One of the biggest takeaways is that Justice considers the GTA 6 score its fifth proper album, with Rockstar giving the duo the creative direction and opportunity to bring the project to life.
Justice Considers GTA 6 Its Fifth Album
Justice explained that Rockstar wasn’t looking for a specific musical genre or sound. Instead, the studio focused on the emotions it wanted players to experience during specific moments throughout the game. This gave the duo plenty of creative freedom, letting them explore different sounds while ensuring each track fit different scenes and missions.
“It’s a special project, but it’s a real fifth Justice album. GTA VI gave us the excuse and direction to do it.”
However, Justice also wanted the music to work outside the game. Even though each track was tailored around specific moments, the duo wanted players to enjoy the compositions as standalone pieces of music.
Justice Thought GTA 6 Would Be Its First and Last Video Game Score
Perhaps the most interesting part of the interview is Justice’s initial reaction when Rockstar approached the duo about GTA 6. The pair revealed that they initially thought this would be the first and last video game score they would ever create. However, they also felt that if there was one video game they absolutely had to work on, it was GTA 6.
“When it arrived on the table, we thought: “If there’s one video game we have to do, it’s this one.”
“As soon as we accepted and started working, we thought it would probably be the first and last score we’ll ever do for a video game.”
“They (Rockstar) weren’t looking for a type of sound or music style, but rather the emotion that the music should give the player at specific moments.”
“The music had to always be listenable on its own, even if each track is tailored for each scene.”
That’s quite a statement, especially coming from a duo with such an established career in electronic music. It also shows just how special this opportunity was for Justice.
GTA 6 Original Score Releases December 11
If you’re looking forward to hearing everything Justice has created, you won’t have to wait too long after the game’s launch.
Rockstar has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score by Justice will release on December 11, 2026, featuring 30 tracks and additional digital bonus tracks.
The full release reportedly contains around three hours of music and will arrive on major streaming platforms, CD, and vinyl.
We’ve already heard a taste of what’s coming through “Flower in a Hurricane” and “Pusher,” but there’s still plenty left to discover when GTA 6 launches.
