Mixtape stays available: no removal due to music licenses

Mixtape, developed by Beethoven and Dinosaur and published by Annapurna Interactive, has recently received an important update about the game’s status. Contrary to earlier rumors, Mixtape will not be removed because of expiring music licenses. Creative director Johnny Galvatron has confirmed this, reassuring players that the game will remain available indefinitely.

Confirmation from the developers

Annapurna Interactive has made it clear that there is no reason to panic about Mixtape’s availability. The publisher clarified on social media that the rumors about a possible delisting were false. Galvatron explained that, unlike other games that have to be removed because of expired music licenses, the Beethoven and Dinosaur team paid extra to keep Mixtape’s licenses permanent.

Details on the music licenses

In discussing the music licenses, Galvatron also shared more about the process. He said the studio made sure the music included in the game would not just be a thing of the past. That commitment to the soundtrack means Mixtape can continue to feature its full musical lineup going forward.

Publisher response

To clear up the confusion around the licenses, Annapurna Interactive posted on social media: "We heard some people saying Mixtape was going to be delisted because of expiring music licenses. That was a lie. Have a great weekend, everyone." The statement is meant to reassure fans and set the record straight on the rumors.

With Mixtape’s music licenses secured, players can enjoy the game without worrying about its future availability. The combination of a strong soundtrack and a fresh take on teenage life makes Mixtape a valuable addition to the current game library. The team behind the game remains committed to delivering a positive player experience, and these steps show they are following through on that promise.
