For the soundtrack to the sequel, see BioShock 2 Soundtrack.

The official BioShock Soundtrack helped contribute to the immersive atmosphere of BioShock, featuring an original score composed by Garry Schyman, and real world licensed music reminiscent of Rapture's time period. On August 24, 2007, 2K Games released a selection of tracks from the orchestral score for free at the Cult of Rapture.[1] Available for download in MP3 format,[2] the selection contains twelve tracks from the game. A vinyl record of the BioShock original score was also included with the packaging of the BioShock 2 Special Edition. The BioShock Limited Edition came with three tracks by Moby.
