## Musical Approach & Creative Direction
Justice worked closely with Rockstar Games to craft a score that adapts dynamically to various gameplay scenarios across *GTA VI*. According to Xavier de Rosnay:
> “The scope of the game is so large geographically and thematically that it was clear from the beginning the music would also have to be very broad in terms of emotions, genres, and textures,” and “We were given the freedom to explore as many things as we needed to… as long as it made sense with the game.”
This approach promises a soundtrack deeply intertwined with the in-game world of Vice City and its narrative arcs, especially throughout the journey of protagonists Jason and Lucia.
## Timeline: Score, Soundtrack, and Game Launch
– GTA VI the game arrives on **November 19, 2026**.
– *The Album*—featuring 34 original songs from various artists—also launches on game release day.
– The *Original Score* album follows **three weeks later**, releasing December 11, 2026.
## Previews & Extras

Physical editions are also available to pre-order, with special limited vinyl options—for collectors especially.
## Why This Release Matters
Justice’s involvement elevates the soundtrack beyond typical game scores. Their dynamic composition mirrors the immersive open-world design Rockstar is known for. The score’s scale—emotionally, geographically, and musically—underscores Rockstar’s ambition for *GTA VI* to offer a deeply sensory experience.
Listeners can look forward to hearing music that shifts tone alongside gameplay—whether exploring Vice City by day, chasing narratives at night, or engaging with the lives of Jason and Lucia.
