Is Mixtape getting delisted for music?

Mixtape will not be delisted over licensed music

Several reports and counter-reports circulated around Beethoven & Dinosaur’s Mixtape, with the core worry being that licensed songs might expire and force the game off digital storefronts. However, both the development team and publisher Annapurna Interactive have confirmed the game will not be delisted.

The key details provided were straightforward:

• Licenses were agreed in perpetuity, meaning they are not limited by a future expiration date.
• The parties involved stated Mixtape won’t face any potential delisting tied to music licenses expiring.

The messaging appears to be aimed at putting a stop to the specific narrative that Mixtape’s soundtrack rights would automatically force removal from sale. In addition to the original confirmation, follow-up coverage reaffirmed the same conclusion, framing the “delisting due to music licenses expiring” claim as false.

This matters for players because delisting threats are one of the most practical concerns around music-heavy games—especially titles that include a large catalogue of third-party tracks. If licensing were actually temporary, Mixtape would have been at risk of disappearing from storefronts and losing future purchase availability.

With Mixtape, the outcome is effectively the reverse: the game is positioned to remain available, supported by the structure of the soundtrack agreements.

In practical terms, fans can keep buying and recommending Mixtape without needing to treat it like a time-limited storefront product. It also sets a contrast against other delisting cases where expired rights, rather than performance or support decisions, are the determining factor.
