A nod to the gaming world
From 'The Legend of Zelda'theme to the infectious 'Super Mario Bros' score, sound, and music have long been foundational to the gaming experience. And now, in a move many fans and insiders consider long overdue, the Recording Academy for the first time has created a Grammy category specifically honoring a video game soundtrack, an acknowledgment of the major impact gaming and its music have made on pop culture.
Previously video games were included in the Score Soundtrack for Visual Media category, which also featured music for film and television.
