Future of the Mixtape: Currently, this is the 4th volume of a planned 5 in our initial numbered line-up, with any potential future volumes likely following a themed structure. We’re only planning for two volumes next year so far – wrapping up the initial line-up with Vol. 5, and our first themed volume in late 2023. Now is the perfect time to jump in to the collection if you haven’t already!
Super Rare Games keeps absolutely zero rights over these titles, which may continue to be available freely online – we simply hope to highlight & physically preserve them with this collection.
On a personal note – Mixtape is my passion project, my baby, and something anyone who’s met me knows means the world to me. Thanks to the Super Rare Games team, all the developers involved, and every single person who picks up a copy. You’re making a dream come true for myself and all the small indie devs featured on this volume. It means more than you’ll ever, ever know. 💖
