Last week it was confirmed that Justice created an original score for Grand Theft Auto 6 and also contributed to ‘Grand Theft Auto 6 – The Album’, which features 34 brand new tracks from some of the biggest artists around.

A new launch trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was soundtracked by Justice’s ‘Flower In A Hurricane’, which also features Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.

However, according to a new report, Justice weren’t Rockstar Games’ first choice. “Daft Punk’s management (yes, still exist) were pitched ‘a final comeback’ of the duo for the GTA 6 soundtrack with what was ‘essentially an unlimited budget’,” wrote prominent leaker Has It Leaked on X earlier this week (Monday October 19).

Rockstar não comentou sobre o relatório.

Daft Punk's management (yes, still exist) were pitched "a final comeback" of the duo for the GTAVI soundtrack with what was "essentially an unlimited budget". Justice were Rockstar's second choice.

Daft Punk split in 2021 after 28 years together. Both members have spoken about the necessity of the split with Thomas Bangalter admitting he was “relieved” over the way that the band ended.

No início deste ano, o duo comemorou cinco anos desde a sua separação com um novo vídeo para o single de 2005 'Human After All', mas Bangalter descartou uma reunião, pois ainda havia "outras coisas a explorar" longe do Daft Punk.

No entanto, em setembro passado, a Fortnite compartilhou uma experiência imersiva do Daft Punk com 31 músicas de todo o catálogo do dueto francês. A experiência também incluiu roupas personalizadas, festas de dança noturnas e oportunidades para remixar e misturar músicas do Daft Punk, além de um concerto virtual com momentos do seu aclamado álbum ao vivo 'Alive 2007.
