Guardians of the Galaxy game soundtrack: Full tracklist of songs & music video
Star-Lord delivers another cracking mixtape in the Guardians of the Galaxy game.
Just as he does in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord) has put together one hell of a mixtape for the Guardians of the Galaxy game's soundtrack.
The GotG game's impressive soundtrack jumps between a range of nostalgic 1980s hits with a whole album of original songs from the fictional band Star-Lord (from which the game version of Quill takes his superhero name).

Can you buy the Guardians of the Galaxy game soundtrack?
There are quite a few ways in which you can take the music from the Guardians of the Galaxy game and listen to it in real life.
More like this
You can buy the Star-Lord album on Amazon, where the going rate for a digital download is £10.99. The real-life musicians credited are Steve Szczepkowski and Yohann Boudreault, if you were wondering.
You can also buy the Guardians of the Galaxy game's orchestral score on Amazon, which was created by Ivor Novello-nominated composer Richard Jacques. That costs £10.99 as well.
Furthermore, pre-orders will begin on 27th October for a special vinyl release, a two-disc limited edition pressing from Mondo that will bring together the Star-Lord songs and Jacques' orchestral score. It won't have the licensed 80s songs, though. There's no sign of a CD or cassette tape release, either.
If you just want to listen to all those big tunes online, the game's publishers from Square Enix have already made an official Spotify playlist, so you can click into the player below if you want to listen back to the Guardians of the Galaxy game soundtrack.
Oh, and if you're actually in the game right now, you can find Star-Lord's hi-fi in the main room at the heart of the Milano spaceship. It's on a table to the left of the stairs that take you to the cockpit, and you can choose whichever song you want to play. Star-Lord will also play a random tune during combat every time you complete a huddle.

Guardians of the Galaxy game streamer mode
It's worth noting that, if you want to stream your Guardians of the Galaxy gameplay or upload it online in any other way, you'll first want to turn on streamer mode – this removes the licensed music from the game, meaning that you won't be breaching the copyright of any record labels.
If you're wondering how to turn on streamer mode, it's pretty easy to do: head your settings from the pause menu or main menu, then go to Audio Settings, then toggle Licensed Audio off. You can now record and stream to your heart's content!
