Music superstar Post Malone has put together the soundtrack for WWE 2K24. The 28-year-old will also be available as a fighter in the game – but there’s a catch
Song 2 by Blur or The Nights by Avicii in FIFA have shown how important a good soundtrack is in sports games. 2K is also aware of this importance and has commissioned Post Malone to compile a track list for the upcoming WWE 2K24.
According to the publisher’s press release, Malone is an “avowed fan of WWE and the WWE 2K series” and is taking on “the role of Executive Soundtrack Producer”. The musician has selected “a diverse collection of songs from a variety of genres, including rock, country, rap, electro and pop.” Malone on his collection: “The secret to a great video game soundtrack is something for everyone and every mood. It creates excitement and makes you want to play.”
Specifically, the 28-year-old has chosen the following songs: Post Malone – Chemical, Post Malone – Laugh It Off, 100 gecs – Hand Crushed By A Mallet, Busta Rhymes – Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See, Colter Wall – Motorcycle, Grimes – Genesis, Militarie Gun – Do It Faster, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs – Big Rig, Speed – Not That Nice, Turnstile – Mystery, Tyler Childers – House Fire, and Yeat – Bëttr 0ff.
Malone as a fighter only for extra money
Like Bad Bunny last year, Malone will also be available as a fighter in the game. The only catch: If you want to get into the ring with the music superstar, you will have to buy a DLC pack after the game is released. It is not yet known how much this will cost – the price tag for the Bad Bunny Bonus Pack for WWE 2K23 was 9.99 euros.
The latest installment of the series will be released on March 5 for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Unlike NBA 2K24, the wrestling game will be the same on current-gen and old-gen. eSport was able to get a first impression of the game at the publisher’s premises
