Overview
- Annapurna Interactive rejected delisting rumors Saturday, saying Mixtape’s music rights were licensed in perpetuity, a common cause of removals for music‑heavy games.
- Creative director Johnny Galvatron told Kotaku the team paid extra to lock down permanent rights for the soundtrack.
- The game features 28 licensed tracks from artists like Iggy Pop, DEVO, and The Smashing Pumpkins, with no streamer‑safe mode.
- Mixtape remains on Nintendo Switch 2, PC/Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, including availability through Xbox Game Pass.
- Despite high critic scores, player pushback continues over the short runtime, lack of fail states, and claims that the project is not a “real” indie game.
