Video game vinyl soundtracks have become quite the collector's item in recent years. There's something magical about sitting back, relaxing, and basking in the brilliance of music derived from one of your favorite gaming experiences. Now that option is set to become available to God of War Ragnarok fans, with the beloved sequel receiving its own limited-edition vinyl original soundtrack.

But where to find one? Well, thankfully plenty of retailers now have the God of War Ragnarok original soundtrack up for pre-order, such as Amazon for $49.98. Just before making the order, however, it's worth being aware of the different variants available depending on the retailer. Amazon, for instance, has the standard "Blue Smoke" variant vinyl soundtrack, while Walmart has an exclusive "Gold" vinyl for $46.97. Meanwhile, pre-ordering via Mondo for $60 gets you an exclusive slipcase with further color variants previously only available for Europe.

Each pre-order for the God of War Ragnarok soundtrack comes with three 150g weight discs pressed on a specific variant color (see below for further details), stunning interior displays of original concept art from the game, as well as two heavyweight cardstock lithographs displaying additional game concept art. Then to top it off, you take home an insert with a note from Sony Santa Monica game director Eric Williams and soundtrack composer Bear McCreary. Lovely stuff. A perfect accompaniment to the best PS5 accessories, you could say.
