Tron Ares: Divergence

The remix album was a surprise release with no previous announcements or acknowledgment other than "an image of what appeared to be a cyber-looking grid in green and black among a collection of Polaroid photos of fans from the current leg of its Peel It Back Tour posted to the group's Instagram account on February 26, 2026. That image turned out to be a snippet of the cover art for Tron Ares: Divergence." It was received positively upon its release. Metal Injection described the remixes as "inventive" and "radical," with each remixer "lending their distinctive sonic signature to reinterpretations of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' cinematic soundscapes [...] blending atmospheric instrumentals [and] industrial heaviness." Pitchfork commended the record's "strong cast of remixers" which "retool[ed] the film score into a stylish and confident, if occasionally tedious, album of aggressive dance music that stands on its own." The publication lauded the majority of the reworkings – most notably Arca's, which writer Sadie Sartini Garner deemed "the album's best and most interesting track" – and further described Divergence as "the first [Nine Inch Nails] remix album that improves on its source so much it threatens to obviate the original.
