FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has won the award for Best Score Soundtrack for 
Video Games and Other Interactive Media at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, 
coming in ahead of some tough competition. 

The ceremony took place last night (February 4, 2024) and recognized musical 
achievements between October 1, 2022 and September 15, 2023. Nominations were 
spread across 94 categories that spanned everything from the coveted Album of 
the Year award to accolades specifically for music created for use in other 
types of media. 

Among these is this award for the Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and 
Other Interactive Media which, as the name would suggest, recognizes the top 
video game soundtracks of the year. 

While the soundtrack for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor , composed by Stephen 
Barton and Gordy Haab, has won this years award, it was nominated alongside 
the soundtracks for Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical , Hogwarts Legacy , 
God of War Ragnarok , and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 . 

Last years winner was the soundtrack for the Assassins Creed Valhalla: Dawn 
of Ragnarok expansion, composed by Stephanie Economou, which was nominated 
alongside the soundtracks for Aliens: Fireteam Elite , Call of Duty: Vanguard 
, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy , and Old World . 

The category remains a relatively recent invention, having first in debuted 
in 2023. Video game soundtracks used to be considered as part of the wider 
Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media category, where they often faced 
extremely tough competition from film and television scores. 

In fact, the score for the indie hit Journey was the only video game 
soundtrack ever nominated in that previous category, where it lost to the 
score for the thriller movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo . 

Obviously, the move to highlight more excellent video game soundtracks can 
only be a good thing and, with the recent arrival of some absolutely 
phenomenal games like Persona 3 Reload , were already looking forward to 
seeing what will be nominated next year.
