• Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 – John Paesano, composer

This is the third year that the category has participated in the Grammy Awards. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla achieved the first distinction in 2023while Star Wars Jedi: Survivor won last year.

Of course, music isn’t the only area where games are making waves at major awards shows. Earlier this year, Genvid’s experimental, episodic Silent Hill series Ascension won the Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Innovation in Emerging Media Programming for Silent Hill: Ascension. Genid boss Jacob Navok was a “testament to the dedication” of the team.

Fallout adaptation from Amazon now also has two Emmy awards to his name.
