Which game will win the award?
The nominees for the best video game Soundtrack for Grammy 2025 have been finally revealed and it seems like PlayStation Studio has secured two spots in the list.
The Grammy Awards recently changed their submission criterion to include more than 50% new material, which explains why titles like “God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla” can be considered despite being large expansions or DLCs rather than totally new games. Let’s check out more details in this article.
Nominees for the 2025 Grammy Awards for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – Composed by Pinar Toprak
This game expands James Cameron’s Avatar universe into an open-world scenario, and music is likely to play an important role in portraying Pandora’s enormous, mystical landscapes. Pinar Toprak, recognized for her work on “Captain Marvel,” offers her expertise in immersive soundscapes to this title.
God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla – Composed by Bear McCreary
Bear McCreary has become synonymous with the God of War series, combining his unique blend of orchestral and ethnic music to create a score that perfectly complements the game’s Norse mythological concept. His continuous nomination implies that the Academy values his ongoing contributions to the series.

Star Wars Outlaws – Composed by Wilbert Roget, II
Wilbert Roget, II has the challenge of adding to Star Wars’ rich musical history with “Star Wars Outlaws.” His score could explore themes of adventure, revolt, and the galaxy’s many cultures, possibly combining familiar Star Wars melodies with new compositions.
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord – Composed by Winifred Phillips
This surprise nomination, a remake of a 1981 classic RPG, adds a modern sound to an old-school game. Winifred Phillips, with her background in video game music, may provide a fascinating combination of nostalgia and contemporary musical components.
