Like the first game, one of the best things in Death Stranding 2 is its soundtrack, so much so that players asked for a Music Player to be present for Sam to customize his own playlist. Despite this feature not being included in any update of the first Death Stranding, it became a mechanic in the second one, unlocked after players connect Gen Hoshino, or The Musician, to the Chiral Network during the main quests.
Death Stranding 2: How Long to Beat
Wondering how long Death Stranding 2 takes to complete? Here’s how many hours the story lasts and and how side content can affect your journey.
Also, the game has a lot of songs, where some are available from the start, while others require players to explore the map, connect with new Preppers, or simply progress through the main story to unlock them. So, these are all the song tracks available in Death Stranding 2 and how to unlock them, allowing you to add them to your playlist and play them anytime during deliveries or other moments.
All Songs in Death Stranding 2 and How to Unlock Them
Altogether, the open-world of Death Stranding 2 has 52 tracks for players to unlock during gameplay, 18 of which are available from the start when players connect The Musician to the Chiral Network during Episode 3: Dawnbridge. The remaining tracks must be unlocked by progressing through the main quests or by reaching certain connection levels with other Preppers available in Australia.
Also, while players can generally listen to their custom playlists almost anywhere in Death Stranding 2, this feature has some limitations. For example, if they enter a location not connected to the Chiral Network, all songs will stop playing. Also, in some segments of the game, there are scripted soundtracks, meaning that even if the Music Player is active, Sam will not be able to use this feature.
