Fallout 76 is now here, and like all of Bethesda’s Fallout games it boasts a long, colorful, and highly retro soundtrack. The game has a wide range of songs featured in the in-game Appalachia Radio, as well as a fantastic ambient score. But what songs are on the Fallout 76 soundtrack, and who composed the score?
We’ve got the full Fallout 76 soundtrack list below, not to mention some samples for you to enjoy pulled from both the licensed song list and the exceptional ambient orchestral score. While you may get sick of hearing these songs in your hundreds of hours trekking across the West Virginia wasteland, we’re sure there’ll be a few standouts here and there. Even if it’s just Take Me Home, Country Roads again.
Appalachia Radio Songs in the Fallout 76 Soundtrack
Appalachia Radio is the main in-game radio station and the primary way to experience the Fallout 76 soundtrack. To get to it, open your Pip-Boy and head to the top tab marked “Radio.” You should have multiple radio stations there, including a fair number that are important to quests, plus Classical Radio for those players who crave only classical music, all the time. Appalachia Radio, on the other hand, is the one with all of the game’s licensed songs. This is the one you’ll want to activate, unless you’d prefer not to be distracted when the Scorched are attacking.
Here’s the list of all 50 Fallout 76 soundtrack songs you’ll hear playing on Appalachia Radio. We’ve provided extra details for songs that are especially noteworthy. There is one song you won’t hear on the soundtrack though, at least not exactly: Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver, which so memorably appeared in the first Fallout 76 trailers, is absent. In its place is the cover version by COPILOT, which Bethesda arranged for charity.

Fallout 76 Original Soundtrack Details
The original ambient soundtrack in the game is composed by Inon Zur, who’s been composing for the Fallout series since before Bethesda even picked up the license, starting with Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. He’s the man behind the music from many classic games, including Dragon Age: Origins, the Prince of Persia series, Crysis, and Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. You can listen to his fantastically epic main menu theme for Fallout 76 right here, or in the video embedded below. It certainly gets us in the mood to dive right in to the game.
