Rockstar Confirms GTA 6 Original Score: Justice’s 30-Track Album Out December 11

✅ CONFIRMED

Rockstar Games has officially confirmed what was, until yesterday, only a store listing: Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score, the Justice-composed music for GTA 6, will be released on 11 December 2026. The announcement, reported on 29 October 2026 by Game Informer, Video Games Chronicle, Gematsu and NME, lands three weeks after the game itself and turns the score into a second music event of its own.

Quick answer: Rockstar has confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score, composed by French duo Justice, for 11 December 2026 on streaming, double CD and triple vinyl. It features 30 tracks from Justice’s game music, plus digital bonus tracks, and is separate from the 34-track Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album out with the game on 19 November.

Key takeaways

• Rockstar confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score for 11 December 2026, three weeks after GTA 6 launches on 19 November.
• The score is composed by Grammy-winning French duo Justice — Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay — and runs to about three hours of music.
• It features 30 tracks from Justice’s full suite of game music, plus digital bonus tracks included across all formats.
• Physical editions are a double CD and a triple vinyl, including a limited crystal-clear vinyl variant; pre-orders and pre-saves are live now.
• The score is separate from Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, the 34-track collection of original songs that launches with the game on 19 November.

When is the GTA 6 Original Score released?

Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score will be released on 11 December 2026, Rockstar Games announced on 29 October 2026, according to Game Informer, Video Games Chronicle, Gematsu and NME. It arrives on all major music streaming services on the same day as its physical editions, 22 days after GTA 6 itself launches on 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The timing is deliberate in effect, even if Rockstar has not spelled out the reasoning: players will have had three weeks inside Leonida before the full score arrives as a standalone listen. That gap also matters for spoilers. Score track titles can give away story moments, so holding the album until after launch week lets players hear the music in context first. Pre-orders for the physical editions and pre-saves for streaming are already live, per Video Games Chronicle and Gematsu.

What is on the GTA 6 Original Score?

The album features 30 tracks from Justice’s full suite of music composed for GTA 6, plus a number of digital bonus tracks included across all formats, according to Rockstar’s announcement as reported by Game Informer and Video Games Chronicle. The complete tracklist has not yet been published, so beyond the two already-released songs, the remaining titles are still unknown.

The two songs fans already know are “Flower in a Hurricane”, Justice’s launch-trailer song featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, and “Pusher”, the seven-minute Justice track featuring Gesaffelstein that was released on 29 October 2026 alongside the album announcement. “Flower in a Hurricane” gave King Gizzard their first-ever Billboard Hot 100 entry, debuting at No. 62, as reported by Consequence and covered in our earlier piece on the song. Justice will also play a DJ set at Simifest in Mexico City on 5 December, a week before the score lands, according to The Groove Cartel and The Music Universe.

How is the Original Score different from GTA 6: The Album?

The Original Score and Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album are two different releases, and confusing them is easy because both arrive around launch. The Album is a 34-track collection of original songs by a range of artists, made with Atlantic Records, that launches alongside the game on 19 November 2026. The Original Score is Justice’s own instrumental and adaptive game music — the compositions written to sit under missions, cinematics and free-roam moments in Leonida.

Put simply: The Album is the songs, the score is the sound of the game itself. Rockstar describes the score as adaptive, dynamically tuned to the different ways players engage with Vice City and Leonida throughout Jason and Lucia’s story, according to the announcement quoted by The Music Universe and GoSU Gamers. Our GTA 6 soundtrack and album tracklist guide covers The Album’s confirmed singles so far, while our Justice “Pusher” song piece explains how the score’s first preview track reached listeners.

What formats is the GTA 6 Original Score released in?

Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score will be released on streaming services, as a double CD and as a triple vinyl, Rockstar announced on 29 October 2026. The vinyl comes in a standard black edition and a limited crystal-clear edition, according to Video Games Chronicle and The Music Universe, and the release is issued through Because Music, Ed Banger and Rockstar Games.

Prices vary by retailer and region, and Rockstar’s announcement itself does not fix a single global price, so check the official pre-order page before buying rather than trusting a single store’s listing. What is fixed is the shape of the release: a three-hour suite of Justice’s game music, with 30 tracks on the main album and bonus digital tracks rounding it out. That is also why the earlier New Zealand Apple Music listing, which showed 50 entries, should not be quoted as the official track count — Rockstar’s announcement says 30 tracks plus bonus tracks, and the full tracklist is still unpublished.

Why does the score announcement matter before launch?

The score announcement matters because it confirms GTA 6’s music strategy in full, just 20 days before launch. Rockstar now has three distinct music layers in play: The Album’s original songs, Justice’s adaptive score, and the in-game radio stations — six of which, from Flash FM to Dirty South Classics, were previewed on Rockstar’s official site on 8 October 2026 and covered in our GTA 6 radio stations guide.

It also settles a question our 28 October coverage deliberately left open. At that point the 11 December date and the score album’s scale rested on a single New Zealand Apple Music listing reported by Insider Gaming, and we flagged both as unconfirmed. Rockstar’s 29 October announcement confirms the date, the formats and the 30-track core — upgrading the story from reported to confirmed, while leaving the full tracklist and the exact bonus-track count still to be revealed. See our GTA 6 release date countdown for the 19 November launch and our GTA 6 pre-load and download size guide for the 12 November pre-load.

What this means

Rockstar is stretching GTA 6’s launch into a season, not a single day. The game lands 19 November, the pre-load opens 12 November, and now the score follows on 11 December — a second release window that keeps GTA 6 in music coverage through Christmas, with Justice’s Simifest set on 5 December acting as a warm-up. For a game with no confirmed PC date and no online mode at launch, music is doing a lot of the post-launch talking.

For players, the practical advice is simple: if you want the score, pre-save or pre-order from the official page rather than a store listing, because listings have already produced one misleading track count. And if you want to avoid score-track spoilers, listen to the album after you have played the story — the track titles, when they finally appear, may name moments you have not reached yet.

Every claim above was verified against at least two independent outlets reporting on 29 October 2026 (Game Informer, Video Games Chronicle, Gematsu and NME agree on the 11 December date, the 30-track count, the double CD and triple vinyl formats, and the “Pusher” release). The earlier 50-track figure comes only from a New Zealand Apple Music listing reported on 28 October and is not repeated in Rockstar’s announcement, so it is flagged as unconfirmed rather than treated as the official count. No full tracklist is claimed, because Rockstar has not published one.
