Mixtape is a narrative adventure game developed by Beethoven & Dinosaur and published by Annapurna Interactive. The title is inspired tonally and visually by 1980s "coming-of-age" films similar to the work of John Hughes. It is scheduled for release in 2025.
The game follows three friends on the last night of high school as they make their way to a party, reminiscing about their teenage years together growing up in North California. [1] The player controls Rockford, who has dreamed of being a ‘Music Supervisor’ since she was eight years old. [2]
Melbourne-based studio Beethoven & Dinosaur had previously developed a music themed platforming title The Artful Escape, also published by Annapurna Interactive and released in 2021. [3] Developer Johnny Galvatron described the feel of the game as "sorta like channel-surfing [old-school] MTV at 3 AM". [4] The title is "soundtrack-driven", featuring music from Devo, Smashing Pumpkins, Iggy Pop, Joy Division, and more. [5]
At Summer Games Fest 2025, Mixtape was confirmed to be releasing on Xbox Game Pass. [6] [7] The game is scheduled to be released in 2025.
