Following on from the sounds of Low Roar that dominated Death Stranding 1, the Death Stranding 2 soundtrack has a lot more variety.

Spanning genres and languages, from pop classics to Mongolian indie folk, there really is something for everyone on this stellar soundtrack.

So, if you're wondering which artists have made their way into the game, here's every song and artist on the Death Stranding 2 soundtrack that we've heard so far.

Death Stranding 2 soundtrack: Artists and track list

Music in Death Stranding 2 has to be unlocked by reaching certain areas, completing certain missions and more.

We've certainly unlocked plenty of them during our time reviewing the game, but we may still be missing some tracks, so this may not be the full list.

As and when we unlock more, we'll be sure to update this article, so check back later!

Without further ado, here is a list of the songs and artists featured on the Death Stranding 2 track list:

Woodkid is the name that crops up the most in the Death Stranding 2 soundtrack, contributing 15 songs to the game, including a few different versions of To the Wilder and Any Love of Any Kind featuring some of the game's cast.

Perhaps the biggest name on the soundtrack has been Caroline Polachek, who famously joined the game after Hideo Kojima was gifted her album Desire, I Want to Turn Into You by Kinda Funny's Roger Pokorny.

Is Sleep Token on the Death Stranding 2 soundtrack?

As we've said above, we may not have unlocked the full track list yet, but we are confident in saying that Sleep Token does not feature on the Death Stranding 2 soundtrack.

We do, however, have a very good guess as to why so many people think they are, though.

If you Google any permutation of 'Death Stranding 2 soundtrack', one of the top results is a Spotify playlist by Vasilis Kampouris entitled 'Death Stranding 2: On the beach'.

This is not an official playlist, and is not affiliated with Kojima Productions, Sony, or any of the artists involved in making Death Stranding 2 – it's just a random playlist made by a fan of the series.

Scroll far enough down into the playlist, and you'll find Even In Arcadia by Sleep Token, in and among a sea of other songs that also do not feature in the game.

Furthermore, many of the songs listed above that do feature in the game are missing from this playlist, in case you needed any more proof that it isn't legit.

So, sorry to all you Sleep Token fans out there, Even in Arcadia is not on the Death Stranding 2 soundtrack.
