The British Academy Video Games Award for Music is an award presented annually by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). It is given to recognize "excellence in composition for a game music score, through original music and/or creative use of licensed track".[1] The award is given to the composers/development team, the developer and the publisher of the winning game.
The award was first presented at the 1st British Academy Games Awards under the name Original Music. From the 3rd edition to the 7th, the category was named Original Score. It returned to its original name from the 8th to the 10th editions. Since the 11th edition it is presented under its current name. Santa Monica Studio and Sony Interactive Entertainment are the most awarded developer and publisher, with three and eight wins respectively. Among developers, Ubisoft Montreal holds the record for most nominations and most nominations without a win, with seven, while Xbox Game Studios is the most nominated publisher without a win, with nine. Bear McCreary, Keith Leary and Peter Scaturro are the only composers to win two BAFTA awards in this category, winning together for their work on the God of War franchise. Jesper Kyd and Lorne Balfe are the only composers with two nominations who have yet to win.
The current holders of the award are Bear McCreary, Keith Leary and Peter Scaturro, composers of God of War Ragnarök by Santa Monica Studio and Sony Interactive Entertainment, which won at the 19th British Academy Games Awards in 2023.
