Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy's Licensed Soundtrack Is a Vice City-Grade Collection of Hits

Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal have revealed the full licensed track list for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, which will go down well with any 80s and GTA: Vice City fan.

The soundtrack features 28 certified bangers from the 1980s, plus two original songs by “Star-Lord Band”, a fictional rock group from which the game's version of Star-Lord takes his name. The full track list can be seen below, as well as listened to on a variety of streaming services.

Additionally, Eidos-Montréal has also created two music videos for Star-Lord Band, with an 80s cartoons-inspired video for the single Zero to Hero, as well as a VHS-style video of Star-Lord Band performing the song on stage.

The full soundtrack is as follows:

  • Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
  • Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue
  • Turn Me Loose - Loverboy
  • Holding Out for a Hero - Bonnie Tyler

All 30 of these tracks will be played in-game, although streamers can toggle the licensed music off to avoid copyright strikes. “Stream-safe” alternatives will be played instead should this option be chosen.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch on October 26. A full-length album of the soundtrack will also be available at the same time.
