Mixtape is a coming-of-age story about the reality-bending adventures of three teenage friends on their final night of high school, featuring a soundtrack of classic punk and alternative hits. It’s due to hit Xbox Series X/S and PC in 2025, and it’ll be available day-one on Game Pass.
Mixtape follows three friends on their way to their final high school party, as they relive their glory days to the tunes of a perfectly curated playlist. Their memories appear in dreamlike sequences, featuring songs by Iggy Pop, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Devo, The Smashing Pumpkins and other old-school hit makers.
The main trio in Mixtape provide plenty of teenage sass in the game’s reveal trailer, and its art style feels like something between stop-motion and cel-shaded cinematics. It’s a welcoming, stylish world. The Mixtape microsite includes the mantra, “Skate. Party. Avoid the law. Make out. Sneak out. Hang out.” Sounds like high school to me.
Mixtape comes from Beethoven & Dinosaur, the studio behind the musical adventure The Artful Escape and fronted by Australian rockstar Johnny Galvatron. It’s published by Annapurna Interactive.
