As introduced in a Ps weblog submit, you’ll be able to hearken to the 67-track album on Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and extra (you’ll be able to view the entire checklist of providers right here).
I, for one, didn’t even notice that there have been 67 totally different songs in Elden Ring however perhaps that was as a result of I’ve been too busy yelling to note the distinction.
