Wizardry Remake Wins Grammy for Best Video Game Soundtrack

Composer Winifred Phillips earns her first Grammy for the 2024 remake of the classic 1981 RPG Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord.

Winifred Phillips won the Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, marking her first win in this category.
The award was given for her work on the 2024 remake of Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, developed by Digital Eclipse.
Phillips’ score triumphed over nominees from high-profile games such as Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and Star Wars Outlaws.
The original 1981 Wizardry game was a groundbreaking RPG that introduced party-based gameplay and dungeon crawling, while the remake features a new 3D design and original music.
This is the third year the Grammys have included a video game music category, with past winners being Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
