Video games don’t just look better than ever, thanks to imaginative art directions and cutting-edge graphics; they also sound fantastic. With some of the best talent in the industry composing new soundtracks, it’s sadly too easy for some of these superb albums to fly under your radar.
To keep track of the best that 2026 has to offer, we’re collecting the best video game soundtracks available and listing them below alongside official channels like Spotify, YouTube, and Tidal so that you can listen to them yourself. And if those games also have a snazzy vinyl that you can add to your collection? You can bet your axe we’ll also include a link for that modern-day art.
We’ll update this list regularly throughout the year, so check back often to see what’s been added. While you’re here, you might also want to check out our list for the best games of 2026.
Cairn
By Martin Stig Andersen, The Toxic Avenger, and Gildaa
Why should you climb a mountain? Because it’s there. Why should you listen to the Cairn soundtrack? Same reason, but also because it perfectly complements the game, giving the entire experience an awe-inspiring feel as you grasp for an out-of-reach handhold. Just like Cairn, the soundtrack is calm, meditative, and full of audio elements that add a cosmic flair to this mountaineering adventure.
Where to listen:
Esoteric Ebb
By Anders Bach, Kristian Paulsen, and Brian Batz
Usually, a video game soundtrack has a common theme that carries through each of its tracks, uniting them into a single album. The score for Esoteric Ebb is an exception to that rule, as it effortlessly shifts between genres and motifs, constantly surprising and delighting your senses with its eclectic mix. One song might evoke images of a faraway land during Arthurian times, and another track might sound perfect for a 16-bit beat-’em-up, making this album a treasure trove of audio treats that reflect the game’s tabletop inspirations. If you’re interested in the game and the soundtrack, Steam offers both as a bundle deal.
Where to listen:
Marathon
By Ryan Lott
Marathon’s soundtrack e is a magical sample of electronic music that captures the sense of mystery at the heart of the game. There’s an ethereal quality to these tunes, and with a distinctive arrangement that’s already spurring several mesmerizing remixes within the growing Marathon community, we’re hoping the rest of the score is as bold and energetic as what we’ve been treated to so far. It’s a blend of propulsive rhythms, electronic textures, and experimental sound design that makes for an unforgettable score.
Where to listen:
Mewgenics
By Ridiculon
You’d expect a soundtrack for a video game about genetically engineered cats being sent to do battle against strange enemies to be suitably weird, and Ridiculon doesn’t disappoint on this front. The Mewgenics score combines a punchy, folksy sound with the inner workings of a cat’s mind, and as you’d guess, those finger-snappin’ thoughts typically translate to milk and murder. An ode to the absurdity of Mewgenics, Ridiculon’s Matthias Bossi and Jon Evans have crafted a surreal soundtrack to enjoy for one of 2026’s best games.
Where to listen:
Mixtape
By various artists
Every game on this list (so far) has made it on the strength of its original soundtrack. Mixtape is the exception with its selection of licensed tracks, not because they’re expertly curated, but because they’re the exact kind of needle-drops that remind you why music is such a powerful force in our lives. It’s the raw emotion of these songs juxtaposed against the coming-of-age story that works so well, effortlessly blending a heartfelt story with the kind of music that makes you want to pump your fist in the air. From Joy Division to Silverchair, Mixtape’s choice of music is a greatest hits album dedicated to teenage rebellion and freedom, expertly paired with a touching coming-of-age story.
Where to listen:
People of Note
By Big Giant Circles
When we look back at 2026, it’s going to be clear just how good the year was for fans of rhythmic video games. People of Note is a great example, as it brings that stadium energy to your screen that only a handful of megastars are capable of generating. It’s the grandest of music, energetic beats designed to get your blood pumping and your body moving in a turn-based RPG format. The visuals and audio are top-notch, pairing together like a fine wine and cheese combo for your ears.
Where to listen:
Scott Pilgrim EX
By Anamanaguchi
A new Anamanaguchi soundtrack is always cause for celebration, but when the band is putting its considerable talents toward a Scott Pilgrim project? That’s a reason to bring the house down. The band returns to Toronto for a whopping 71-song soundtrack, and as you’d expect, the score is a fist-pumping collection of punchy tracks that fuses nostalgic sounds with enough energy to knock the highlights out of your hair.
Where to listen:
Where to buy:
Screamer
By Max Aruj
When it comes to racing games, soundtracks for this genre need to feel like a jolt of nitrous oxide being delivered straight to your ears. Screamer doesn’t disappoint, as the anime-inspired cyberpunk racing game has you cruising through the streets at an irresponsible speed while your head bops along to the high-energy score. Each track motivates you to push your revs into the red, motivating you to go faster and tear around corners with reckless abandon in a race where the only rule that matters is the Rule of Cool.
Where to listen:
Denshattack
By Tee Lopes, Sean Bialo, and Andrew One, featuring various artists
Not just one of the best games of 2026, Denshattack offers pure bangers for your buck thanks to a score featuring 80 tracks. Featuring a star-studded lineup of artists–led by main composers Tee Lopes, Sean Bialo, and Andrew One–the music perfectly complements the energetic gameplay while also channeling the sound of beloved turn-of-the-millennium Dreamcast classics like Jet Set Radio and Sonic Adventure. There’s a lot to love about this soundtrack, and with over four hours of music, you’ll be tapping your feet to breakbeat, funk, acid jazz, hip-hop, punk, and J-pop tracks for a long time.
Where to listen:
Mina the Hollower
By Jake Kaufman
There’s a charm to classical 8-bit music, and Mina the Hollower captures that audio magic with surprisingly complex chiptunes to dig into. An old adage among artists says limitations can lead to creativity, and composer Jake Kaufman certainly knows how to squeeze an incredible amount of depth from a retro collection of sounds and tools to build an impressively massive soundtrack. With Streets of Rage composer Yuzo Koshiro also lending his talents to this 96-track, four-hour score, Mina the Hollower sounds delightfully inviting and unsettling.
Where to listen:
007 First Light
By Alexis Smith and Joe Henson of The Flight
The soundtrack for 007 First Light works so well because composers Alexis Smith and Joe Henson of The Flight deliberately held back on dropping the classical Bond theme too early in the game. Instead, you’re tasked with earning that signature theme, and the duo builds up to that moment with an orchestral arrangement that seamlessly transitions between moments of stealth, brawls, and car chases. Fusing it with hybrid electronic arrangements gave the game an audio atmosphere rivaling a big-budget Hollywood movie, and once you finally hear those familiar notes in all their brass glory, you can’t help but roll credits on 007 First Light with a massive smile on your face.
Where to listen:
Scritchy Scratchy
By Clothing Club
Many of the soundtracks on this list feature high-energy arrangements, but Clothing Club’s score for Scritchy Scratchy is just cool as a cucumber. With retro beats and a terrific groove, these tracks are designed as background music that doesn’t distract from the super-satisfying scratch-card incremental game, but it’s also great for those days when you need some lo-fi vibes in your life.
Where to listen:
Lumentale: Memories of Trey
By Tiziano Bellu, Giovanni Santolla, and Lorenzo Varriano
Lumentale: Memories of Trey is a fun spin on the monster-collecting formula, but at its heart is a surprisingly delicate soundtrack. A powerhouse of Italian composers has put together something that’s not only special, but also downright massive, as the score spans three distinct volumes: Mythos, Logos, and Battle+Extra. The end result? A beautifully retro orchestral arrangement that is nostalgic and atmospheric. Nier fans are in for a treat, too, as acclaimed singer Emi Evans lends her vocals to the end credits of this delightful game.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls
By Toma Otowa
Arc System Works knows not only how to make a great fighting game, but how to pair it with a fantastic soundtrack to complement a few rounds of digital fisticuffs. The soundtrack for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls doesn’t disappoint, combining incredible audio variety and surprising collaborations to create dozens of character and stage themes. With EDM, heavy metal, and orchestral music featured prominently, headlined by the “Stronger as One” main theme, you get a buffet of high-energy music to enjoy while you fight to save the world from Avengers-level threats.
Where to listen:
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales
By Tomohiro Nakamachi and Yuto Moritani
Unsurprisingly, the music of The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is a nostalgic throwback to the golden age of JRPGs. The best tracks on this mammoth 105-song collection have warmth and depth, and each one blends into the background, selling you on the idea that you’re taking part in a magical, whimsical journey across faraway fantasy lands.
Where to listen:
MIO Memories in Orbit
By Nicolas Guéguen
Juxtaposition is the main takeaway of the MIO: Memories in Orbit soundtrack, as the music beautifully blends traditional sounds with mechanical melodies. Across 75 tracks, you can feel the isolation and scale of “The Vessel” where the game takes place, with the dynamic pacing mirroring the experience of tight soulslike combat and melancholic exploration. There’s a blurred line between sentient beings and programmed machines in MIO Memories in Orbit, and Nicolas Guéguen’s score captures those sci-fi themes and pumps them right back into your ears.
Where to listen:
Bubsy 4D
By Fat Bard
I don’t know if I can trust reality anymore, because 2026 being the year of Bubsy was not on my bingo card. Not only is Bubsy 4D a surprisingly good adventure game that doesn’t make me want to yeet my TV out the nearest window, but indie video game audio duo Fat Bard have managed to craft a score that I genuinely enjoy listening to during the day. It has ’90s Saturday morning cartoon energy and dynamic instrumentation, and it’s incredibly catchy. This should come as no surprise given the composers’ pedigree, as this upbeat soundtrack is an eclectic treat.
Where to listen:
Saros
By Sam Slater
How do you sum up the sound of Saros in three words or less? Pure, atmospheric dread. Composer Sam Slater nails the idea of playing a game in which an eclipse brings terrifying changes to the world around you. That creeping sense of tension from the soundtrack is embedded deep within every pixel-pore of Saros, with the music warping and distorting to reflect the planetary changes around you as you descend deeper into a dangerous labyrinth. It’s a heavy score, frequently punctuated by raw guitar riffs and unconventional instruments that add an otherworldly layer to Saros.
Where to listen:
Phonopolis
By Tomáš Dvořák
Phonopolis’s avant-garde quality is reflected in its score, as composer Tomáš Dvořák clearly wasn’t afraid to try experimental ideas. Every song has a raw, lo-fi theme that sounds intentional, heavily processed, and loud, music that could only work in a handcrafted game centered on loudspeakers and an authoritarian leader controlling a city through audio propaganda. Every track introduces something new, and each one feels like an entire album has been crammed into it. That sheer density of ideas makes the Phonopolis soundtrack a standout collection of music in a year full of incredible albums.
Where to listen:
People of Note
By Jimmy Hinson and featuring various artists
A musical turn-based RPG, People of Note features a gigantic score that feels and sounds like a celebration of music. Composer Jimmy Hinson–alongside various artists–goes loud with this soundtrack, offering a diverse selection of tracks to sell you on the idea of dynamic battle themes that can also seamlessly transition between uptempo folk music or classic rock, depending on the scene. The end result? A high-energy theatrical stage musical in video game form, with plenty of unique tunes to make this a soundtrack that you’ll want to listen to when you need a motivational blast of energy during the day.
Where to listen:
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
By Brian Tyler and featuring new tracks by Stephen Lukach
What’s old is new again, and in the case of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, I don’t think anyone will complain about getting a selection of familiar, new, and improved sea shanties to sing along to. Bryan Tyler’s score sounds better than ever, thanks to Ubisoft taking a technical pass of the original soundtrack. Dynamic remixing and rebalanced audio make those authentic sailor songs punctuate a battle on the high seas. All that, and several brand-new orchestral pieces specifically tailored for key emotional story beats, made this an album worth returning to.
Where to listen:
Silent Hill: Townfall
By Anthony Scott Burns
Composer Anthony Scott Burns nailed the assignment for Silent Hill: Townfall, as this score effectively captured the atmospheric dread of the Konami psychological-horror series. At the same time, it introduces its own audio identity to the franchise, mixing melancholic piano lines and decaying synth textures to create a brooding ambient soundscape that helps build tension. It’s a score that feels intimately tied to the fog-drenched streets of St. Amelia and enhanced by analog decay to sell you on the game’s theme of fragmented memories.
