We know. Blasting David Bowie while landing in the middle of Soviet-occupied Afghanistan is one of the many badass feelings when you first start getting into Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Rocking out to music of the ’70s and ’80s is one of the great aesthetic choices that Kojima implemented to have at least one foot in reality while at the same time shoving you into intense technological and supernatural situations.

Follow this progression of folders to reach CustomSoundtrack
If your system is formatted differently, start the process by finding your Steam folder and go from there. We always suggest having a shortcut to your Steam folder on your desktop to access your game files for easier customization.
