It’s that time [1] of the week again: time for another video game soundtrack to go vinyl and today it’s everyone’s favorite futuristic Battle Soccer game, Rocket League. When Psyonix launched the game last summer I found it peculiar that the stellar soundtrack [2] only played on the menu screens, never in the game itself. It turns out that was by design [3], as was the decision to keep expanding the game’s soundtrack and featuring new artists over the ensuing months.
Now the entire tracklist of 22 songs are collected in the 3-LP, The Vinyl Collection, available for pre-order [4] from iam8bit and shipping this Fall. There are two editions up for order both of which include the 3 LPs, download codes for digital versions of the music and a vibrant tri-fold sleeve designed by Rocket League community member, Dan Bronsema [5]. The decision really comes down to how fancy you want your record designs. The $75 Limited Edition gets you one of 1,000 copies that features hubcap designs straight from the game. The other option is the $55 Open Edition whose record art hasn’t been yet been finalized.
If you’re just interested in the music you’ll be happy to know Psyonix released a Volume 2 [6] soundtrack just last week and their Spotify playlist [7] has been updated with all 22 tracks. If you’re after the original soundtrack it’s over here [8]. Have a look at the full playlist and some more album imagery after the break.
