Rockstar Releases New GTA 6 Original Song ‘Pusher’ by Justice, Full Score Album Arrives December 11

Rockstar Games has released another original track from Grand Theft Auto VI’s musical score, giving players and fans an early taste of the game’s sonic landscape ahead of its November 19 launch. The new song, titled “Pusher,” comes from Justice, the French electronic music duo composing the game’s original score.

The track is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, allowing fans to experience Justice’s compositional work for the game weeks before release.

Full Score Album Launches in December

Alongside the single release, Rockstar Games announced that the complete Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score album will be released on December 11. The album will be available across multiple formats, including digital streaming services, double CD, and triple vinyl editions.

The full score album will contain 30 tracks representing Justice’s complete suite of compositions created specifically for GTA 6. In addition to the physical and standard streaming releases, the album will include a number of digital bonus tracks across all formats.

Building on Previous Releases

“Pusher” marks the second publicly released piece of original music from the GTA 6 score. Rockstar previously released “Flower in a Hurricane,” another Justice composition that featured an impressive collaborative roster including Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. That track generated significant attention for its ambitious blend of artists and styles, setting high expectations for the complete score.

The involvement of Justice as the composers for GTA 6’s original score represents a notable choice by Rockstar. The duo, known for their distinctive electronic sound and production work, brings a specific musical identity to the game that differs from previous Grand Theft Auto titles. Their work typically blends elements of house, electro, and rock, suggesting GTA 6’s score may lean into contemporary electronic sounds while maintaining the cinematic scope expected from a Rockstar production.

Music’s Role in the GTA Experience

Music has always been a defining element of the Grand Theft Auto series, with each installment carefully curating both licensed tracks and original compositions to reinforce the game’s setting, tone, and cultural atmosphere. While the series is perhaps best known for its extensive in-game radio stations featuring licensed music spanning multiple genres and eras, the original score provides the emotional backbone for key story moments, missions, and gameplay sequences.

The decision to release score material before launch allows Rockstar to build anticipation while showcasing a different facet of the game’s audio design. Where radio station previews demonstrate the game’s cultural and period accuracy through licensed music selection, the original score reveals the emotional and tonal ambitions Rockstar has for the narrative experience.

Physical Media Returns

The announcement of physical formats, particularly the triple vinyl edition, reflects both the cultural cachet of the GTA brand and the continued relevance of physical music media for collectors and enthusiasts. Video game soundtracks have experienced a resurgence in physical releases over recent years, with vinyl editions becoming particularly sought after by collectors.

The double CD and triple vinyl releases suggest a substantial body of work from Justice, with the vinyl format in particular requiring significant runtime to justify three discs. This indicates players can expect an extensive and varied original score throughout their time in Vice City and its surrounding areas.

What This Means for Players

For players anticipating GTA 6’s release, these musical previews offer insight into the game’s aesthetic direction and emotional range. The collaboration between Rockstar and Justice, along with the featured artists on previous releases, suggests a score that balances contemporary sounds with the epic scale expected from a Grand Theft Auto title.

The December 11 release date for the full album, coming after the game’s November 19 launch, means players will experience the score in its intended context before having access to the complete standalone release. This approach allows the music to first serve its purpose within the game before existing as a separate artistic work.

With GTA 6 launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in just weeks, these musical releases form part of Rockstar’s final promotional push, building excitement while showcasing the production values and artistic collaborations that define the project.
