For the first time in history, the Grammy Awards will present an award for the best soundtrack in video games. 5 games will compete for this title, and the winner will be announced in 2023.

Here's What We Know

Although there is one nuance. Only those games that were released in the period from October 2021 to September 30, 2022 could become nominees. Therefore, God of War Ragnarok or A Plague Tale: Requiem will not be among the nominees this year.

The List of Nominees:

• Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Composer Austin Wintory
• Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn Of Ragnarok. Composer Stephanie Economou
• Call Of Duty®: Vanguard. Composer Bear McCreary
• Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy. Composer Richard Jacques
• Old World. Composer Christopher Tin
