Anyone know when the soundtrack will be released? Or am I just gonna have to wait for the game itself to come out?
If I remember correctly the R&F soundtrack released the same day as R&F. I still don't understand why we can't get an official OST for the DLC civs...
Maybe you should re-download it? At least the OST that came with the Deluxe Edition has all four eras for all the civs in the base game + Aztec.Or why the base OST only contains half of the themes, with two of the four eras for each civ, and in a seemingly-random order.

I think you're right, but I don't think it was available for purchase until release day.I actually recall official soundtrack for r and f coming out a day before the game's release in YouTube to my surprise. It might be the same for gs where firaxis will release it on Wednesday.

It's true the ambient tracks are missing, but they specifically said half the era tracks were missing--which isn't true of the official OST.I think what they mean is that the OST is incomplete. Not all songs are on it, regardless of what version you have. It's quite annoying.

@Zaarin, I think they were referring to the OST that comes separate from the game (read: the standalone one you can purchase from iTunes or Amazon). Unlike the digital copy that comes with the game and contains all era themes from each base game civ, the OST sold separate from the game contains only 2 of the 4 themes for each civ. It is annoying and seemingly complexing on why they chose to release it in this way.
Wow, that's downright weird. Glad they didn't do that with the R&F OST.I think they were referring to the OST that comes separate from the game (read: the standalone one you can purchase from iTunes or Amazon).

That said, anyone who owns the base game for PC/Mac should be able to access the digital OST music files from their computer. I suppose the issue is more of a problem if you only own the iPad or Switch version.
"Ambient track" as in it is an additional song that plays in the background when you play as that civ, as opposed to that civ's theme ("Hard Times" for America) that plays when you play as the civ, open the civ's diplomacy screen, or have that civ in your game. I agree these ought to be on the OST, or at the very least they ought to release an OST of the ambient tracks. Though it's really not uncommon for game soundtracks to be "curated," unfortunately.When I first listened to the official OST (the one I have at least) I immediately noticed an ancient era song from Greece, that I love, isn't on there. Or is that what you mean by 'ambient tracks'? A song isn't ambient to me when it has only one instrument and plays a simple, slow melody.
Still not out, I wanted to listen to it today at work
Usually they release with their games (ergo usually on Thursdays). I generally purchase OSTs via Steam or Bandcamp, but I can confirm that the R&F soundtrack released on iTunes the same day as R&F, a Thursday.Of course, vudeo game OSTs may follow a whole other rubric.
