New single Flower in a Hurricane debuts with launch trailer

Rockstar Games released a new single titled "Flower in a Hurricane" on October 15, 2026, via Ed Banger Records. The track features vocals from Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.

It soundtracks the 90-second official launch trailer, which features protagonists Lucia and Jason moving through Vice City. The single is the musical foundation for the promotional video.

Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album features 34 new songs

"Flower in a Hurricane" appears on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, a collection of 34 original songs written for the game. Rockstar Games announced the 34-track total in September. The soundtrack is available to pre-save on streaming services and to pre-order on vinyl or CD at gtavi-thealbum.com.

Soundtrack includes Travis Scott, Keith Richards and Morgan Wallen

The soundtrack includes Travis Scott performing "RHYNO," which features production credits for Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso. Additional tracks include "Last Thing You Need" by Morgan Wallen and "Bright Lights, Big City" by Keith Richards.

Other contributors include PinkPantheress and Fred again.. on "Sexy Magic," which also features Étienne de Crécy. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard recently released an electronic album titled Alien Metal.

Game launches November 19 in Vice City

Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The game takes place in the fictional U.S. state of Leonida, which includes the neon-soaked streets of Vice City.

The story follows criminal duo Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, who become entangled in a conspiracy after an easy score goes wrong.

New radio stations and on-foot listening features

Rockstar Games confirmed six in-game radio stations hosted by Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Robyn, Trick Daddy and Trina, Burna Boy with DJ Palms Trax, and Slayer's Kerry King and Tom Araya. Players will also be able to listen to radio and on-demand podcasts on foot through headphones connected to smartphones, a first for the series.

Dynamic score compared to Dire Straits

The score is dynamic, meaning it responds to player actions rather than unfolding in a set sequence. Rolling Stone noted the track "Flower in a Hurricane" resembles Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing," though Mark Knopfler is not among the 11 credited songwriters.

Billboard also reported that the opening riff of the song is reminiscent of the Dire Straits track. Justice designs their work with a focus on movement, escalation, texture, and dramatic contrast.

Justice career and Grammy-winning partnership with Tame Impala

Justice, formed by Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, emerged in the mid-2000s under Ed Banger Records with the single "Waters of Nazareth" and gained international notice with "D.A.N.C.E.". The duo released their fourth album, Hyperdrama, in 2024, which featured a collaboration with Tame Impala on the song "Neverender".

"Neverender" won a Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Recording. Kevin Parker of Tame Impala returns on the new track "Flower in a Hurricane," continuing the partnership. The duo's work on the game follows their 2024 Hyperdrama campaign, which included a Coachella performance and a U.S. arena tour. The song "Neverender" also reached the top of Billboard's alternative airplay chart.

Confirmation settles August trailer speculation

The official confirmation settles fan speculation regarding the music used in the "Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look" trailer released in August. A press release confirmed that selections from the score heard in that trailer were produced by Justice. Excerpts from the score also appeared in other major announcements surrounding the title.
