February 7, in the year of our Lord 2012 – EA
SPORTSTM today unveiled the complete music track listing for EA
SPORTS SSXTM, featuring 36 licensed tracks* by established and

for the game’s Deadly Descents. In addition, these original ten
tracks – created by The Qemists, Camo & Krooked, Raffertie, and

“SSX has always been one of EA’s most music intensive, genre
diverse and sonically adventurous titles,” says Steve Schnur,
Worldwide Executive of Music & Music Marketing. “The songs on
this new soundtrack cover ground from indie rock, dub step,
hip-hop, drum + bass and beyond. As fans of the ultimate
snowboarding franchise have come to expect, our artists range
from top cutting-edge stars to tomorrow’s hottest underground
acts. Ultimately, it’s a soundtrack full of next-level music
that is totally ripe for discovery.”
Gamers will have the ability to upload their own music to SSX to
create custom playlists for menu and in-game music. SSX also
features a dynamic music remix tool that will automatically
remix licensed tracks and custom music based on the player’s
actions and performance in-game.

SSX is now featured on 14 ‘Most Anticipated Games of 2012’. SSX
launches on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and
Xbox 360® video game system on February 28 in North America and
