Square Enix has released seven tracks from Star Ocean: The Second Story R on multiple digital platforms including Spotify and YouTube. These early releases act as a preview for the upcoming full soundtrack, which the company will release in November 2023.
The aggregate link that Square Enix shared lets people choose the platform to listen to the tracks.

The link also includes Japanese music platforms, such as Awa, Mora, Recochoku, and Dwango JP.
