"Video games» were added to the descriptors by the Recording Academy for 4 Grammy Awards categories honoring exceptional work in the sphere of "visual media."

Video games are inclined to be the unusual medium in the contemporary world. There are frequent arguments concerning the value of video games to be regarded as “games as art.” Gamers are just glad to play and are satisfied with it, but the mainstream users want to be aware how to distinguish this form of entertainment, which appeared not long ago. And the decision to add video games to the list of categories became a serious step forward.

The executive of the recording academy said in the interview that it was made as many people applied to them with this request. This has not been done before because game publishers did not reveal interest to it.So there are 4 game-improved categories:Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media in Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual MediaMusic for Visual Media in Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual MediaBest Score Soundtrack for Visual Media in Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual MediaBest Song Written for Visual Media in Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual MediaBefore all games were applied to the “other visual media” so this a considerable change.
