Hey everyone! I’m curious about the most listened-to video game music out there. Does anyone know which game soundtracks are getting the most plays on YouTube and Spotify? I’m talking about original game music, not covers or remixes. It’d be cool to know the top 30 or so. I’ve been listening to a lot of game music lately and wondering what others are into. What are your favorites? Have you noticed any trends in popular game soundtracks? Let me know what you think!
As someone who’s been deeply into game music for years, I can share some insights on popular soundtracks. From what I’ve observed, titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nier: Automata, and Persona 5 consistently rank high on streaming platforms. These games blend orchestral elements with unique styles that resonate with listeners even outside of gameplay.
I’ve noticed a trend towards more atmospheric and emotionally driven soundtracks gaining traction. Games like Journey and Hollow Knight, while not necessarily AAA titles, have garnered massive followings for their haunting and beautiful scores.
Personally, I find myself returning to the Halo series soundtracks time and time again. The epic orchestral pieces mixed with those iconic Gregorian chants never fail to give me chills. It’s fascinating to see how game music has evolved and become a respected genre in its own right.
yo, i’ve been jammin to game tunes lately too! undertale’s soundtrack is fire, gets tons of plays on spotify. also, minecraft’s chill vibes are super popular. noticed a trend towards indie game music blowin up, like celeste and stardew valley. my fave’s gotta be the witcher 3 tho, epic stuff!
