Announced via the PlayStation Blog, first-person exploration game The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe for PS4 and PlayStation 5 consoles will join the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games of January on Tuesday. The expanded port previously launched for Windows, Mac and Linux through Steam, along with Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles.

The Ultra Deluxe soundtrack is hosted on Steam. Record label iam8bit published The Stanley Parable vinyl soundtrack, decorated with album art by Dominik Johann and sleeve art by William Pugh. Music is by The Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra, Yiannis Ioannides, Christiaan Bakker, and Tom Schley.

Hosted on Bandcamp, "Bits of Music from The Stanley Parable" by The Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra is an eleven-track album, including five unused tracks written in the style of the music score. Ultra Deluxe adds "The Floating World" from Antichamber composer Siddhartha Barnhoorn's solo album Pillars of Light, along with “Who Likes to Party” by Kevin Macleod, and “The Elevator Bossa Nova” by Ben Sound.


From the iam8bit product page:

The Stanley Parable may be satire, but its artistry is sincere. Developer Crows Crows Crows understood that on a fundamental level, in order for its scathing deconstruction of interactive storytelling to really hit, The Stanley Parable had to feel like a polished, impressive piece of narrative fiction, in and of itself. That polish is present everywhere in the game, from its stark, corporate-approved visuals to its superb voice acting, to its extraordinary soundtrack.

The Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra, Yiannis Ioannides, Christiaan Bakker and Tom Schley all contributed pieces to this indelible score. The resulting product is an eclectic mix of whimsical orchestral tunes, surprisingly tense ambient sounds, and heroically inspiring themes, sure to stir something deep within your formerly settled soul. Parody, tribute, and unexpectedly original moments of brilliance are present across the tracklist here in equal measure, each working towards the same cohesive final score.
