Rockstar Games released a new Grand Theft Auto VI launch trailer featuring an original score by Justice. The trailer highlights characters Jason and Lucia, with the game set for release on November 19.
Rockstar Games has released a new launch trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, revealing that the French electronic duo Justice composed the game's original score. The trailer, released on October 15, 2026, features the single "Flower in a Hurricane," which includes contributions from Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard.
The trailer provides further insight into the game's protagonists, Jason and Lucia. Jason is depicted as an ex-military character, with visual cues such as a U.S. Army T-shirt and a tattoo referencing the "Marauder" unit. IGN reports that the combat training school shown in the trailer is located in North Fort Law, a reference to the military base from the original Grand Theft Auto game. The trailer also shows Jason working as a laborer at Brian’s Marina before engaging in criminal activities.
Lucia is shown participating in high-stakes missions, including a bank heist and a sequence involving a cargo net and a skyscraper. The trailer confirms that Lucia wears an ankle tag, suggesting a storyline involving probation or house arrest. The setting is the state of Leonida, which includes Vice City and the Leonida Keys.
Justice’s involvement marks a shift from the collaborative score of Grand Theft Auto V, which featured artists such as the Alchemist and Tangerine Dream. According to Pitchfork, Justice’s contribution follows their 2024 album Hyperdrama, which won a Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Recording in 2025. The full 34-track soundtrack will be released alongside the game on November 19. Prior to the full release, Rockstar has slow-rolled nine songs, including tracks by Yung Lean, Travis Scott, and Cardi B.
The trailer also highlights in-game radio stations, with DJs such as Bad Bunny, Robyn, and Lana Del Rey. IGN notes that the trailer includes references to various in-game brands and locations, such as Globe Oil and Schlott Construction, which have appeared in previous Rockstar titles.
The release of the launch trailer confirms the musical direction and narrative tone of Grand Theft Auto VI ahead of its November 19 release. The involvement of high-profile artists like Justice and the detailed depiction of the protagonists' backgrounds signal a focus on character-driven storytelling and a distinct cultural atmosphere for the game's setting in Leonida.
