A few days ago, out of curiosity, I checked Dangerous Driving's website and found this on their FAQ
This was already weird on its own, but apparently the game has no soundtrack either?
I thought this was weird but a review from a site I follow confirmed that the game runs at 30 on the base consoles and it also confirmed the Spotify Premium only soundtrack. What a weird decision.
On the PlayStation4 Pro Dangerous Driving runs at 1080p 60 fps. The base PlayStation runs at 1080p 30 fps
On the Xbox One X Dangerous Driving runs at 1440p 60 fps. The base Xbox One runs at 1080p 30 fps

We are delighted to announce that the music in Dangerous Driving will be delivered via Spotify. Follow 'Three Fields' to see our dream playlist.
We have long believed that racing games shouldn't have just one soundtrack. Music, especially the music you drive to, is incredibly personal – and changes based on your mood. It would be hard to have just one soundtrack that suited all players in all those moments. (Even if it was possible it would be beyond the budget of an independent developer.)
That's why we love things like Spotify's 'Songs to listen to in the car', a smart playlist which picks music for you based on the music you already like to listen to – its personal for everybody.
Whilst Spotify has existed on console for a while not everyone remembers to go set it up and also you have to either control it from another device or keep exiting the game to change track etc. Its not integrated. You'll be able to authorise it from within the Audio Menu and from then on you'll be able to control your music from within the game. And the current implementation is, we hope, just the start of a fully featured integration which includes gameplay triggered music!
Currently you'll need to go out to the Spotify app on the device you're playing on e.g. PlayStation4 or Xbox / PC to choose the playlist but this is something that we hope to integrate even further in the future. Once the playlist is selected then you can skip tracks forward and back and pause the music in game.
You will need a Spotify Premium account to access this but you can get a 1 month free trial so we highly recommend you check it out.
