London-based label Data Discs' seventh collaboration with Sega is the Golden Axe I & II remastered vinyl soundtrack album. The record's packaging is decorated with sourced artwork from the Sega archives.

The Golden Axe I & II vinyl LP is available for purchase through the publisher in the UK, along with distributors Light in the Attic in Seattle, Mondo in Austin, and PixelCrib in Australia. The remastered character select theme from Golden Axe II is streaming on SoundCloud, courtesy of Data Discs.

In 2008, Sega's record label Wave Master published "Golden Axe: The Music" to three compact discs, spanning music scores for all three Mega Drive console titles. The digital edition of the 136-track album is streaming on YouTube Music and Apple Music.

Music from the 1989 and 1991 Mega Drive beat-em-ups is by Tohru Nakabayashi and Naofumi Hataya. The original Golden Axe is a featured title on the Sega Genesis Mini console, and on the Nintendo Switch Online's Expansion Pack. The Golden Axe trilogy installments are available separately for Windows, Mac and Linux through Steam.
