Rockstar's official GTA 6 Original Score by Justice is available to pre-order now on CD, vinyl and streaming. The three-hour compilation releases December 11, 2026, nearly a month after the game launches. Here is what streamers and clip creators should know about the score, what music is safe to use in clips, and how it differs from the in-game radio.
What is the Original Score
Two tracks are already out: "Flower in a Hurricane" featuring Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard (the song from the launch trailer), and "Pusher" featuring Gesaffelstein.
Original Score vs in-game radio
When you record gameplay, any music playing in that recording can be subject to copyright claims. Labels can claim it on YouTube or mute it on Twitch.
Whether the Original Score plays during gameplay or only in menus and cutscenes is not yet confirmed.
Rockstar's policy allows occasional, non-commercial use of its games in videos. It does not spell out whether monetizing GTA 6 videos is allowed or forbidden. See Can You Monetize GTA 6 Clips on YouTube?.
What this means for your clips
Consider how background music may appear in your recordings. Plan your recording approach based on what audio you want in your final clips.
Licensed radio music is a separate issue. Turn the radio down or off for key moments you plan to clip. See GTA 6 Radio Music and Copyright Claims: Keep Your Clips Online.
No streamer mode confirmed. Consider your audio settings when planning to record content.
Quick checklist
- Consider pre-ordering the Original Score if you want it on release day.
- Turn the radio down or off when recording moments you plan to clip.
- Keep Shorts at 60 seconds or less. A Short longer than 1 minute with any Content ID claim is blocked worldwide on YouTube.
- Talk over gameplay. Your commentary is what makes a clip yours and more fun to watch.
- Check YouTube Studio for claims after upload. If a Short is claimed, trim the music section or replace it.
Where to pre-order
The Original Score is available to pre-order now:
- Vinyl (3 LP): Amazon (black vinyl), Justice storefront (limited-edition clear vinyl)
- CD (2 discs): Amazon, other retailers
- Streaming: Pre-add on Apple Music, Spotify and other services for the December 11 release
The vinyl edition comes in a 3LP set with UV gloss finish. The CD version comes in a fold-out case with GTA 6 imagery.
Cutting clips from your GTA 6 recordings
When you cut clips in ViceForge, pick the GTA game profile in AI Gaming mode. The AI finds action, kills, chases, crashes and big reactions. Set your clip length to 30 to 60 seconds to stay under the one-minute line for YouTube Shorts. You can edit or remove any clip before downloading.
