Video game soundtracks are collections of music specifically composed or selected to accompany video games. These soundtracks enhance the gaming experience by setting the mood, building tension, and providing emotional depth. They can include a variety of musical styles, from orchestral scores to electronic beats, depending on the game's theme and setting. Many video game soundtracks are created by talented composers, such as Nobuo Uematsu for the Final Fantasy series or Koji Kondo for Super Mario. Some soundtracks have gained popularity outside of gaming, leading to concerts and albums that celebrate this unique form of music.
