Background

Grand Theft Auto VI has been anticipated as a major cultural event, with previous delays pushing its release to November 19, 2026. The game's soundtrack and score have been a significant focus, with earlier previews on Netflix already featuring excerpts from Justice's score. The collaboration between Justice and Tame Impala follows their previous work on the Grammy-winning track 'Neverender' from Justice's 2024 album 'Hyperdrama.'

How outlets are covering it

Stereogum emphasizes the 'baffling array' of big stars on the 34-track soundtrack and highlights the '80s-style synth-rock anthem' nature of 'Flower in a Hurricane,' noting its similarity to Dire Straits' 'Money for Nothing.' Pitchfork focuses on Justice's role as the score composer, drawing a parallel to the 2013 GTA V score by The Alchemist, Tangerine Dream, and others, and notes the slow rollout of the soundtrack. Game Informer highlights the 'salacious' nature of the final trailer, mentioning new gameplay details about protagonists Jason and Lucia, and notes the potential for 'Flower in a Hurricane' to break streaming records, similar to Tom Petty's 'Love is a Long Road' after its appearance in a previous GTA VI trailer.

Why it matters

The confirmation of Justice as the score composer and the release of the final trailer mark a critical milestone in the lead-up to Grand Theft Auto VI's release, signaling the game's imminent launch and the significant cultural impact of its music and soundtrack. The collaboration between major artists like Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard on 'Flower in a Hurricane' underscores the game's reach into the music industry and its potential to influence popular culture.
