Justice powers the GTA 6 soundtrack
The Soundtrack to Vice City: How Justice is Setting the Mood for Grand Theft Auto 6
As anticipation builds for the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, the focus has shifted beyond the sprawling open world and cinematic plotlines to the sonic landscape that will define the experience. Rockstar Games has officially revealed that the epic in-game soundtrack will be crafted by the electronic duo Justice, promising a soundscape as vibrant and chaotic as the fictional state of Leonida.
The official launch trailer, released recently, immediately immersed viewers in the high-stakes drama unfolding for the co-protagonists, Lucia and Jason, as they navigate the neon-drenched streets of Vice City. The trailer, set to the powerful sounds of Justice’s new single ‘Flower In A Hurricane,’ sets an immediate tone of tension and freedom, perfectly mirroring the narrative that follows.
The music isn’t just background noise; it’s an integral part of the world. Justice’s composition links the gritty reality of the criminal conspiracy facing the duo with an undeniably psychedelic, dance-infused atmosphere. The track itself features a stellar collaboration with artists including Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, injecting a unique, modern edge into the classic crime saga.
This musical vision extends far beyond the initial launch. Rockstar has confirmed that Justice is responsible for the complete original soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto 6, which will also be compiled into a massive 34-track collection titled Grand Theft Auto 6: The Album. Fans are already buzzing over the tracklist, with nine songs revealed to date hinting at a diverse and eclectic mix, featuring hits from artists like Yung Lean, Travis Scott, Cardi B, and Keith Richards.
The auditory experience is further amplified by the game’s innovative design. For the first time in the franchise, players will be able to access a range of on-demand podcasts directly within the game. Developers have made listening accessible by allowing players to stream both radio and podcasts hands-free, connecting through newly introduced headphones and earbuds without needing to be inside a vehicle. Furthermore, the radio stations themselves are curated with star power, including segments hosted by figures like Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Robyn, and Slayer’s King Kerry and Tom Araya.
Beyond the music, the development process itself has shown an impressive evolution. Rockstar bosses shared insights into the efficiency of the project, confirming that the extensive work invested in the game’s engine and tools will allow for a quicker, more compelling output. This confidence suggests that the team is poised to build on their foundation and move toward crafting even more ambitious content.
