The growing popularity of the video game industry and years of advocacy from game composers will be reflected in the 2023 Grammy Awards as the Recording Academy announced its “Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media” category.
The video game industry also flourished during the COVID-19 pandemic as people increasingly turned to digital entertainment during lockdowns. “It was only a matter of time before the Grammys recognized that there were a lot of soundtracks being produced for video games and they’re all very good,” Tin told Reuters.
“Video games have been making waves with new revenue streams for some time,” Uziel Colon, who helped develop the new category, told the Grammys. “In the future, video games and music will merge — it’s already happening.” “Video game music has been eligible for the Grammys since 1999, and only one score had ever been nominated before, which was ten years ago. There are people who I think were dissatisfied with that,” Wintory told Reuters.
But game music is breaking ground through technological innovation and new avenues for consumers to experience it.This includes live immersive video game concerts, video game scores across platforms like YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Fortnite, remixes and collaborations, augmented and virtual reality and even eye-tracking technology.
