Justice to compose the original soundtrack for GTA VI

The novelty also comes through the speakers. This trailer introduces « Flower in a Hurricane », a track by Justice that brings together Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. The French duo isn’t content with just lending a song to the video: they’re also composing the original score for Grand Theft Auto VI.

The track features on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, the official collection that brings together 34 original tracks and is set for release on November 19, 2026. You can already pre-save it on major digital music platforms or pre-order it in vinyl and CD at the official store. A glimpse of Leonida’s musical mood before you take to the roads.

What the August 27 showcase revealed

Prior to this launch trailer, Rockstar released a lengthy presentation titled Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, initially streaming on Netflix on August 27, 2026, and subsequently on YouTube and the game’s own site. At nearly 27 minutes in length, the video is built from in-game footage captured on the PlayStation 5.

Brawls, firefights, chases, but also basketball, scuba diving, or kayaking: this showcase gave players a glimpse of the activities on offer between missions. It also spotlighted interactions with the locals and the central bond between Jason and Lucia, the two protagonists of this adventure.

The duo's daily life must thus play a major role in the experience, beyond the heists and clashes. The footage offers a glimpse of a world where travel, downtime, and encounters drive the exploration of the region. The game is aimed at a mature audience, with violence, sexual content and references to drug and alcohol use.

GTA VI: Synopsis

In Vice City, Jason and Lucia think they can pull off a quick and easy score. The job goes wrong and pulls them into a statewide criminal conspiracy in the state of Leonida. To survive, they’ll have to rely on each other, as trouble far exceeds anything they imagined.

GTA VI: A Return to Vice City and the State of Leonida

Thirteen years after the original release of GTA V, this new installment revisits Vice City in a contemporary take on the Miami-inspired city. The adventure extends beyond its streets and beaches to explore Leonida, a fictional state that blends Florida’s varied landscapes.

Rockstar’s footage showcases bustling urban landscapes, quiet residential districts, coastal roads and expansive natural spaces. Cars, boats and aircraft also feature in these clips, with environments designed to support both missions and exploration.

GTA VI Gameplay

As with the series’ previous installments, GTA VI takes the form of an open-world action-adventure game. Exploration, driving, gunfights, and story-driven missions outline this new adventure, built around two playable characters.

The dynamic between Jason and Lucia takes a central role in the scenarios shown. Their shared history threads through the duo’s criminal exploits, while the side activities reveal other facets of life in Leonida. Rockstar also preserves the franchise’s satirical edge, conveyed through its characters and its portrayal of American society.

GTA VI: pricing, editions, and pre-orders

The GTA VI pre-orders have been open since June 25, 2026. The standard edition is listed at €79.99, versus €99.99 for the Ultimate Edition on French digital stores. At this stage, the launch platforms announced are the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S: no PC release date has been announced yet.

The Ultimate Edition adds extra content to be discovered as you follow Jason and Lucia’s story: vehicles, weapons, outfits, tattoos and access to new locations. Among the items announced are the 1967 Vapid Dominator Buggy, the 1995 Grotti Cheetah, the Shitzu Squalo, and the Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers. The Stock 305 shop, Sara’s Unisex Salon and Electric Fang Tattoo are also part of this lineup.

A Vintage Vice City pack will also be offered as a pre-order bonus. It includes the 1955 Vapid Stanier, the Shore Court garage near Ocean Beach, outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and a weapon skin inspired by Vice City's retro aesthetic. The pack will be included with all digital editions purchased before November 20, 2026 and with pre-ordered physical editions, while stocks last. Rockstar notes that physical GTA VI editions will include a download code, with no disc in the box.

Digital pre-orders placed on the PlayStation Store or the Microsoft Store will also unlock one month of GTA+ for free. The subscription includes a monthly deposit of 500,000 GTA$ in GTA Online, bonuses on certain Shark Cash Packs, free or discounted vehicles, and a curated library of Rockstar Games titles accessible through GTA+. After the free month expires, the subscription will automatically renew at the current price unless you cancel.

As of now, several details still need to be nailed down, including any content tied to GTA VI’s online mode and the complete breakdown of editions by platform. The preorder window should offer clearer insight into Rockstar Games’ launch strategy ahead of the game’s November 2026 release.
