An awards season For Your Consideration sampler was posted for streaming on the Amazon MGM Studios awards website.  As is usual, it contains a selection of the music cues as they appear in the film, which means some of cues cut off abruptly, as in the film. The track titles more closely describe the action taking place on-screen.  It does not contain any movie sound effects unlike the retail album release. Most of the cues are substantially identical to their album counterparts. The main differences occur in the opening couple tracks and the final tracks, which are a bit disjointed in the film, and which were stitched together into a more coherent song for the album.

==About the [MIXED] version==
 
−
An article from ''The Wrap''[https://www.thewrap.com/challengers-mixed-album-boys-noize-explained/] detailed the story and process of creating the [MIXED] version of the score. It states that Reznor and Alexander Ridha (aka Boys Noize) had previously attempted to collaborate on something, and that Reznor reached out to Ridha for ''Challengers'':

<blockquote>He explained to me that they've scored the movie, it's great. But they don't want to release the music as it is. Because it makes more sense in the movie raw, like they have it. But he didn't feel like it's the right way. I think they wanted to try out new things and experiment. They had the idea of making it this this type of continuous mix.</blockquote>
