Video Games will be recognized equally at next Grammy Awards

This is actually some pretty big news! According to the Recording Academy itself, video games will now be included in the following categories at the Grammy Awards:

The Music for Visual Media (Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual Media)

Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media (Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual Media)

Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media (Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual Media)

Best Song Written for Visual Media (Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual Media)

This comes after Christopher Tin won the first ever Grammy for a video game last year for this track, which is the theme song to Civilization V.
