Video Game Soundtracks that have been (legally) released for free.

[Krvavi Abadas]

Exactly as the title says, here's a lengthy list of the ones i'm aware of. For the Steam links, see here on how to download them without downloading the game itself (You still need to own the game in the first place, hence why the links are only to F2P titles.) As for the PS3 links, you can just transfer the files onto a standard USB Drive after downloading, then use them anywhere.

Sorry I don't have anything to provide, but thanks for this! Love the sound tracks of some of these games.

 

[GeekyDad]

Wish I had something to add, but jeez, nice thread! Many thanks!

Most if not all Valve games had their soundtracks available for free.

Devil Daggers.

 

[Hella]

Diablo 2's and Starcraft 1's soundtracks used to be available for free from Blizzard's site, but I think they removed that some time ago.

Also a whole bunch of soundtracks are available via Spotify. Aside from the account, you can listen for free. In total there's way too many to list.


But the big one I know of is from Kirill Pokrovsky, composer for the Divinity series. The entire Divinity series' OST (minus Original Sin 2, which he sadly never worked on) has been available for free via Kirill Pokrovsky's official site for quite some time.

That includes:

1. Divine Divinity
2. Beyond Divinity
3. Divinity II: Ego Draconis
   
4. Divinity: Dragon Commander
5. Divinity: Original Sin
6. a Divinity Anthology containing reworks(?) of classic tracks

Plus I think everything else he's ever scored? It's a truly staggering collection.

(RIP Kirill. What a legend.)

I wish Sony would release that Vita song when it was announced as NGP.

 

[Symphony]

TimeSplitters 1, 2 and Future Perfect's soundtracks were, but when Free Radical shut down prior to the Crytek buyout their website closed too so they're not hosted any more. Guess that puts them in a grey area?

 

[Aaron D.]

If you own Sims 1 on disc the entire soundtrack is on the disc in .mp3 format.

One of the greatest OST of all time.

 

[capitalCORN]

The Beyond Good and Evil soundtrack has been available for free for a long time. It's really good.

 

[Harlequin]

The soundtracks for the first eight Tomb Raider games were released for free (some directly by Eidos/Square, some by fans with Eidos'/Square's blessing, some by the composers themselves). Also the soundtrack for Rise of the Tomb Raider, IIRC.

Grant Kirkhope released uncompressed versions of his Goldeneye 007 songs:

The Panzer Dragoon Saga Arrange Album has been posted on youtube for free.

EDIT: It has not. I apologize.

 

[7threst]

Here: Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.

Unfortunately he later removed the tracks from the website. I lost the originally uploaded files :(

Portal 2's has been downloadable from a website for years

Yep, they weren't the full soundtracks either, according to the VGMDB (Gramne Norgate's official release of it, for comparison.) That was a problem i noticed a lot when pulling up links for this thread, sites just being long dead. In most cases there was no alternative, but there was a couple (Most notably Noitu Love 2 and Mutant Mudds.) where the problem just needed a simple URL change to fix, with the devs moving the free soundtracks somewhere else.

The Soundtrack for Universe at War: Earth Assault is available to freely download from Klepacki's website.

 

[preta]

World of Goo is mandatory listening. Game is superb too.

Here's the lovely chip soundtrack to the doujin shmup ring^27, as released on the creator's site.

 

[Brinksman]

Here: Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.

Not sure whether it's a legal release. However, the composers of Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2, and Blood Omen 2 did personally donate their soundtracks to The Lost Worlds.

 

[OmegaDL50]

On Kirill Pokrovsky's official website. There is freely downloadable versions of all the the Divinity Soundtracks he composed.

http://kirillpokrovsky.com/ upper right hand corner for the mp3s.

EDIT: I didn't see it was already addressed in a post above. Still it's a worthwhile mention.

Frederic "Elmobo" Motte has the vast majority of his soundtracks available for free on his Bandcamp page.

My personal favorite is the Soundtrack for Pac-In-Time, which has both the SNES and MS-DOS versions available.



He also has remastered versions of all of his Amiga demoscene work (He was known as "Moby" back then.) split into 4 volumes. Still completely free to download.

• Volume 1
• Volume 2
• Volume 3
• Volume 4

 

[Krvavi Abadas]

This one is probably a limited time offer, but the Gunpoint OST is currently free right now.

Other soundtracks from the same composer (Ryan Ike) are also free.
