	Six months after Battle's launch, '''''Minecraft: Battle & Tumble (Original Soundtrack)''''' was released on streaming services. The album was solely credited to Gareth Coker. Even though it was marketed as Battle's complete soundtrack, only the songs from DLC maps were included - the four default tracks that played in standard maps were oddly missing. The reason for this discrepancy wouldn't be uncovered until [https://youtu.be/4mn47MqhbFY?t=2639 Anthony Fantano's C418 Interview] in January 2021.

C418's Battle music has yet to be officially released, possibly being reserved for the [[Untitled Minecraft album]].
