VGTimes reported on October 21 that the X account Has It Leaked claims Rockstar explored bringing Daft Punk back together for the GTA 6 soundtrack, with an essentially unlimited budget on the table. According to the claim, the sides never reached a deal, and Rockstar went with the French duo Justice instead.
The report rests on one unverified account and offers no documents or corroboration; neither Rockstar nor Daft Punk's representatives have commented. For context, Rockstar did confirm on October 15 that Justice composed original music for the game, and Daft Punk split in 2021, with Thomas Bangalter repeatedly dismissing a reunion.
Why it matters: the music is a live marketing thread right now, with Rockstar reportedly planning more soundtrack details on October 22. Treat the Daft Punk angle as entertainment-grade gossip until someone on the record backs it. Launch remains November 19, 2026, and nothing on the tracker changes.
