Nintendo has begun rolling out a curated soundtrack sample tied to the upcoming Star Fox release for Nintendo Switch 2, offering Nintendo Switch Online subscribers an early listen ahead of the game’s launch.
The special release, dated 8th May 2026, contains ten tracks selected from the new title and arrives ahead of the game’s scheduled release on 25th June 2026.
This move places the audio ahead of the retail launch and gives fans a compact preview of the game’s musical direction.
The 10-track special release is labelled Star Fox – Switch 2 (Special Release) and includes the following cues:
- Title theme
- Opening Theme
- Corneria
- Star Map
- Meteo
- Area 6
- Star Wolf’s Theme
- Main Menu
- Venom Incident
- Mission Accomplished
Separately, Nintendo’s official mobile music platform, the Nintendo Music app for iOS and Android, already hosts the Lylat Wars soundtrack — the European title for Star Fox 64 — which offers a fuller collection of 39 tracks for listeners.
In clear, journalistic terms: Nintendo issued a 10-track soundtrack sample for Nintendo Switch Online members on 8th May 2026 to coincide with promotional activity ahead of the Star Fox release on 25th June 2026, and the Nintendo Music app continues to provide the complete Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64) OST totaling 39 tracks.
A community tip credited to Jason F helped surface the news to outlets covering Nintendo music and Switch 2 developments.
That tip identified the special release and its track listing, which has since been confirmed by the release date information attached to the package.
For players tracking the next-generation Star Fox release, this soundtrack sample provides an early look at themes and motifs bound to appear in the full game on Nintendo Switch 2.
Fans who want a deeper dive into the franchise's audio history can access the Lylat Wars collection on the Nintendo Music app, while Nintendo Switch Online subscribers should check their membership benefits for access to the special Switch 2 soundtrack preview.
All dates and content above are drawn from the confirmed release notes for the Star Fox Switch 2 soundtrack sample and the Nintendo Music app listings.
