<p>Streaming on Twitch and YouTube can be a bit of a minefield. Especially when it&#8217;s something you do for a living. DMCA takedowns are now more common than ever since copyrighted music is often used in Streams. Often a couple of seconds can be enough, which is a huge nuisance for streamers.</p>
<p>CD Projekt RED has definitely considered this issue with Cyberpunk 2077. The game comes with a unique &#8220;streamer-friendly&#8221; mode, where any copyrighted music is disabled and replaced with music that won&#8217;t trigger any copyright issue. This mode will be enabled by default on consoles when streaming the game. On PC you can toggle it in the settings.</p>
<p>Cyberpunk 2077 might be one of the first and only games to respond to the growing problem with DMCAs on streaming platforms. Not having to worry about your game triggering a copyright strike would be a huge relief. A lot of content creators so far have been forced to disable the music in their games to avoid this. Which of course doesn&#8217;t really do a good job promoting a huge part of the game to people.</p>
<p>DMCAs are symptomatic of a larger ongoing issue though. And solutions like the one in Cyberpunk 2077 aren&#8217;t really solutions but more just ways to avoid the problem rather than solving it. Music is a huge part of a lot of games, whether licensed or not. And hopefully, we can figure out a way to allow content creators to promote music artists in their content without it getting claimed.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">A Huge Score</h3>
<p>Cyberpunk 2077 will contain a staggering amount of music. In addition to the game&#8217;s original score, a ton of licensed artists will appear in the game. Some of them have even made exclusive tracks for the game. The most notable example being <a href="https://twitter.com/runjewels" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Run The Jewels</a> who contributed their new song &#8220;<a href="https://bagogames.com/run-the-jewels-releases-cyberpunk-2077-music-video/">No Save Point</a>&#8221; to the game.</p>
<p>The above video shows a look into the composers and their creative process working on the game&#8217;s score. A lot of analog gear was used to create the soundtrack, as well as orchestral elements. The composers claim 90s industrial music in particular as an influence.</p>
<p>You can hear more of the music when the game launches on PC, Google Stadia, PS4, and XBox One on December 10th.</p>
