For the inaugural award, the other nominees were the composers behind Aliens: Fireteam Elite, Call Of Duty: Vanguard, Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy and Old World.

Economou noted that she was the only woman nominated in the category, saying:"I hope it sets precedent and I hope it's not just one woman in the category each year from here on out."

Before this year, video games were included in the Score Soundtrack for Visual Media category, which also featured music for film and television. The global gaming industry may have hit close to US$200 billion in 2022, according to a projection from the Global Games Market Report, and a recent Deloitte survey taken across the United States, Britain, Germany, Brazil and Japan said that video games are the top entertainment source for Gen Z.

Many young gamers cite music as integral to the experience, with one third of respondents saying they looked up game music online afterwards, and 29 percent saying they often discovered new music while gaming.and that's a really exciting opportunity for any composer coming in," the Los Angeles-based Economou told AFP prior to Sunday's show.

The new category"is an important step for people to recognise that video games have been in the zeitgeist for so long now".
