The full EA Sports UFC 4 soundtrack has been revealed by EA, featuring major names like Eminem, J. Cole, and Stormzy. EA has steadily been sharing more information about the UFC sim, presenting videos like the EA Sports UFC 4 career mode trailer ahead of its release next week.
In a post on social media, EA confirmed all of the tracks on the EA Sports UFC 4 soundtrack. Some notable features are songs like Machine Gun Kelly's "Roulette," Wale's "Routine" (ft. Rick Ross & Meek Mill), and Eminem's "Godzilla" (feat. Juice WRLD). Notably, like the Madden NFL curse that some think afflicts cover stars, the Eminem curse is a theory that MMA fighters who walk out to an Eminem song are more likely to lose. It's a surprising choice for the soundtrack, but as the song is so popular, few players may skip it.
Other major artists on the EA Sports UFC 4 soundtrack are Run The Jewels and Stormzy. Run The Jewels's "goonies vs. E.T." and Run The Jewels' "holy calama***" are featured, making the hip hop duo the only artist to get onto the soundtrack twice. Stormzy's "Audacity" (ft. HEADIE ONE) is also on the soundtrack, making the song a firm favorite for sports titles after it also featured in the new NBA 2K21 gameplay trailer.
The soundtrack may seem like such a small part of the EA Sports UFC 4 experience. Features such as the game's fighter ratings and playable characters like Tyson Fury may be seen as more important. However, hours into playing the new UFC sim and fans will probably be very happy that the development team has such a good taste in music.
UFC 4 releases August 14 on PS4 and Xbox One.
