Needle Drops AKA licensed songs used in games
I'm not including songs that were written specifically for the games. (eg. Snake Eater from MGS3, Stand by Me from FFXV, and Unshaken from RDR2 etc.)
I'm not including songs from in-game Radio Stations unless the song starts explicitly playing at a scripted moment in the game.
I'm not including songs that were only used in promo materials like trailers. (The Bomb by Pigeon John from the Dead Island 2 teaser trailer)
I'm not against including songs from game credits.
This is not a definitive list, although I couldn't find a similar one anywhere.
Most importantly, I can be totally wrong in some cases, so any suggestions to be added or modified are welcome.

Thank you for these! I have added them.
Sorry for the late response, I just wanted to check them each as I'm not familiar enough with the games you've listed.
