If you're a little bored in your commute and craving some cinematic cutscene vibes for your Main Character Energy, hitting play on a video game score is a neat hack.

Luckily for you, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) just added a bunch of iconic game soundtracks to Spotify. Spotted by AniPlaylist and reported by Eurogamer, SIE has added the scores for '90s, '00s, and '10s PlayStation favourites like Kow Otani's Shadow of the Colossusscore, Kohei Tanaka's whimsical Gravity Rushscore, Michiko Naruke's tumbling score for Wild Arms, Yoshiyuki Sahashi and Tetsuo Ishikawa's score for PoPoLoCrois Monogatari, and a whole host more.
