The new system is live, but it will take some time to really make a difference because all your existing soundtracks will continue to be treated as DLC unless developers convert them. Steam has also added a new interface that will enable "common actions" for soundtracks, such as playback, browsing, and managing content. These 'standalone' tracks will all be available in a "standard" MP3 format but can also be offered in optional higher-quality formats, like FLAC or WAV, and can also contain "bits of associated content" like album art or liner notes that can be accessed from the soundtrack's details page.
Developers can also sell soundtracks where the base game itself is not available for sale on Steam. You will also be able to browse and manage the soundtracks that you own and have downloaded directly from the new Steam library.You can now configure a Steam "music" directory where all soundtrack content will be placed, rather than having to locate it in subdirectories of game content.įor developers this new system means that they can upload and manage soundtrack content entirely through the partner site, without using steamcmd. They can also download the soundtrack without downloading the base game. That basically means that customers will now be able to purchase soundtracks without purchasing the base game. Valve has unveiled a new system for game soundtracks on Steam that will "decouple them from their associated games and allow them to be sold standalone as a new 'soundtrack' app type. You would have to browse through your hard drive manually or access it via the DLC tab in the game properties menu in your Steam library. If you wanted to download it on to your PC, you would need to have the game installed.Īlso, it was troublesome dealing with managing that music because Steam has no built-in functionality to handle these downloaded tracks.
Which meant that you could only download a soundtrack if you owned the base game. DKC is classic, though I'm glad to see some love for 13-2! Some of the best Origa tracks on there, sad that she passed on.For all this time, Steam has treated game soundtracks as DLC (that's downloadable content, non gamers).Anyone else collecting VGM on vinyl?
