The air crackles with excitement as CORTIS‘s electrifying track ‘GO!’ makes a monumental splash, finding its way into the hearts of gamers worldwide through two of the biggest titles: NBA 2K26 and Fortnite!
A New Chapter for CORTIS: From Debut to Digital Worlds
CORTIS is expanding its captivating influence across the global gaming industry. Their debut album’s intro track, ‘GO!’, has officially been added to the original soundtrack for Season 4 of ‘NBA 2K26’, the latest installment in the iconic ‘NBA 2K’ series. This heartwarming inclusion came as a direct invitation from the ‘NBA 2K26’ creators themselves.
‘NBA 2K’ is a beloved game series licensed by the National Basketball Association (NBA), boasting over 150 million cumulative sales last year. Each season, the game curates an official soundtrack that mirrors the freshest trends, offering a vibrant backdrop to the game’s immersive experience.
The Epic Journey of “GO!”
‘GO!’ isn’t just a song; it’s a global phenomenon, often considered a gateway to chart-topping success. Exposed to millions of players through in-game experiences and prominent playlists on Apple Music and Spotify, this platform places music firmly on the global stage. It’s a stage previously graced by titans of hip-hop such as Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, The Creator, making CORTIS‘s inclusion a powerful testament to their artistry.
The journey of ‘GO!’ continues its triumphant stride into Epic Games’ globally popular shooting game, ‘Fortnite’. On January 22nd, a dance emote featuring the song and parts of its choreography was unveiled. This beloved in-game feature allows characters to perform short, animated dances to music. CORTIS now stands alongside K-pop giants like BTS‘s ‘Dynamite’ and TXT‘s ‘Over The Moon’, solidifying their place in the hearts of gamers and K-pop fans alike. Imagine the joy of seeing your favorite game character groove to CORTIS‘s vibrant beats!

The track achieved 100 million streams on Spotify in the shortest time among K-pop boy group songs released last year, and it gracefully entered major song charts, including the Billboard ‘Global 200’. Its resonant energy has also led to collaborations with other iconic names:
- 🎶 The Major League Baseball (MLB) featured ‘GO!’ in their post-season promotional video last year, amplifying the song’s electric pulse to sports enthusiasts.
- 🍎 Apple recently unveiled a performance video of ‘GO!’ through Apple Immersive Video, showcasing their profound appreciation for the track’s captivating visuals and sound.
