Mixtape Steam Summer Sale Discount Arrives With Official Merch
Mixtape is getting a small but timely discount during the Steam Summer Sale, giving players another reason to catch up with Beethoven & Dinosaur’s coming-of-age adventure. The game is currently 10% off on Steam until July 9. Official Mixtape merchandise has also launched, with shirts and posters now available for fans who want something beyond the game itself.
Published by Annapurna Interactive and developed by Beethoven & Dinosaur, Mixtape first launched on May 7 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. It is also available through Xbox Game Pass on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Mixtape Turns Teenage Memories Into Playable Vignettes
Mixtape follows three high school friends during their final night together, as they head towards one last party before life starts pulling them in different directions. Along the way, a carefully curated playlist draws the trio into dreamlike recreations of the memories that shaped them.
These vignettes move through familiar coming-of-age moments, from first kisses and late-night troublemaking to the kind of aimless summer freedom that feels huge before it disappears. That structure has always been the game’s clearest hook. Rather than focusing on a single traditional gameplay loop, the game leans into memory, mood, music, and adolescence, making its soundtrack part of the storytelling.
Soundtrack and Steam Deck Support Strengthen the Catch-Up Pitch
The soundtrack remains one of Mixtape’s biggest selling points. The game features music from artists including DEVO, Roxy Music, Lush, The Smashing Pumpkins, Iggy Pop, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, and The Cure. That mix gives the game a strong musical identity, especially for players drawn to nostalgic coming-of-age stories.
It also helps explain why official merch feels like a natural extension of the game, rather than a random add-on. The title is also Steam Deck Verified, making the timing of the Steam Summer Sale a little more useful for handheld PC players. With the discount running until July 9, anyone curious about the game has a short window to pick it up at a lower price.
Beethoven & Dinosaur Builds on The Artful Escape
Mixtape comes from Beethoven & Dinosaur, the Australian studio behind The Artful Escape. Like that earlier game, this adventure puts music and visual style at the centre of the experience, though this time the focus shifts from cosmic performance to teenage memory.
The game is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. For Xbox players, its Game Pass availability also makes it easy to try without buying it outright.
