Often overlooked, tapping into the gaming world can help increase your exposure, fanbase, and revenue.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Music and gaming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Diversifying your income streams is key to long-term success as an artist. While most artists think of streaming, merch, and touring first, there lies an often overlooked revenue source: the gaming world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music has always been a part of gaming, from catchy menu jingles featured on Wii games to epic orchestral scores. Lately, this crossover has seemingly been taken up a notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Games like <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/epic-games-acquire-bandcamp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fortnite<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/blackpink-experience-roblox-august-25th\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roblox<\/a> have embraced music, and it\u2019s now more central to the gaming experience. For example, Fortnite pulled in a <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/fortnite-hits-record-numbers-for-concert-as-14-3-million-players-join-the-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">record-breaking 14.3 million players<\/a> for an in-game concert last year, and now has a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortnite.com\/@epic\/festival-main-stage?lang=en-US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Festival<\/a> game mode where players perform their favourite tracks on the virtual stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these are more high-profile examples, the ever-growing crossover is clear. If you\u2019re an artist, label, or music marketer, the opportunity can no longer be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"voWJ9Ycerq\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/fortnite-hits-record-numbers-for-concert-as-14-3-million-players-join-the-show\/\">Fortnite Hits Record Numbers for Concert as 14.3 Million Players Join the Show<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Fortnite Hits Record Numbers for Concert as 14.3 Million Players Join the Show&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/fortnite-hits-record-numbers-for-concert-as-14-3-million-players-join-the-show\/embed\/#?secret=voWJ9Ycerq\" data-secret=\"voWJ9Ycerq\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Gamers love music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gamers aren\u2019t just passive listeners. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/luminatedata.com\/research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luminate&#8217;s Entertainment 365 survey<\/a>, 1 in 4 US gamers are music \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-build-superfans-the-secret-to-sustaining-your-music-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">superfans<\/a>\u201d. These are the fans that go beyond passive listening, and actively buy vinyl, show up to shows, and invest in merch. They\u2019re the kind of fans who stick around. Essentially, they\u2019re crucial to supporting an artist\u2019s career.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Are Superfans? | An Independent Artist\u2019s Most Valuable Resource\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GObY62yAywA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, why do gamers have such a strong attachment to music? Many superfan gamers form an emotional connection to the soundtracks and themes in their favourite games. Think of the nostalgia in Minecraft\u2019s C418 tracks (at least for me anyway), or how certain themes instantly transport you back to memorable moments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luminate says that US gamer superfans spend 260 hours a month on gaming, music, and other media. That\u2019s a massive amount of time your tracks could be playing in the background, and in some cases creating the soundtracks to entire periods of people\u2019s lives. Therefore, there is no wonder that gamers feel an emotional or nostalgic attachment to the music that accompanies their favorite games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Why gaming matters for artists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The influence of music within gaming is growing. <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/new-report-reveals-slow-streams-ais-rise-new-paths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luminate\u2019s 2025 Midyear Music Report<\/a> showed that nearly 200 million global music streams from interactive gaming platforms by the end of Q2 alone. This is when users can actively choose and listen to music as part of their gaming experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This growth is opening up more opportunities for artists to connect with fans inside the gaming universe. Let&#8217;s break it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Boosted discovery<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Gaming fandom is strong, and when a track is featured in a hit game, the exposure can be huge. <a href=\"https:\/\/luminatedata.com\/blog\/music-gaming-hot-together\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luminate<\/a> points to Grand Theft Auto as a prime example. Soundtracks have become a renowned part of the game, with its in-game radio stations being so popular that Rockstar <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/user\/rockstargames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">curates official Spotify playlists<\/a> for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/119RwhTmhNelp6IqJpt0K4?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>When the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VQRLujxTm3c&amp;pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">second GTA VI trailer<\/a> dropped earlier this year, The Pointer Sisters\u2019 1986 track &#8220;Hot Together\u201d went from 300,000 streams in all of 2024 to nearly 9.6 million in just eight weeks. The song peaked with 2.9 million streams in the week following the trailer\u2019s release, and the trailer is already closing in on 127 million views. Not only does this show the potential exposure possible through the gaming industry, but also the willingness from gamers to engage with the associated music too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/luminatedata.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Blog_06_29_2025_A-1536x962.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><em>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/luminatedata.com\/blog\/music-gaming-hot-together\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luminate Data<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4>More revenue streams<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, an increased level of exposure can bring about more streams and higher streaming royalties. However, it doesn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gamer superfans spend 26% more on entertainment than the average US consumer. That means more gig tickets sold, more merch sales, and more vinyl purchases. That extra willingness to spend can translate directly into higher earnings for artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artists can benefit from sync licensing too. This is where a brand (or game in this instance) pays to license your music for use in their media (ads, games, films, TV shows etc.). This can involve an upfront free plus ongoing royalties, adding a valuable extra income stream.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, games like Fortnite have pioneered artist-branded in-game purchases. Fans can often buy things such as skins, emotes, and music packs created for artists like <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/sabrina-carpenter-comes-to-fortnite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>, which helps turn fandom into direct sales. For example, Travis Scott\u2019s <em>Astronomical <\/em>concert reportedly generated <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/fortnite-hits-record-numbers-for-concert-as-14-3-million-players-join-the-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">roughly $20 million<\/a> through in-game item sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"kyKv1UXTc3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/sabrina-carpenter-comes-to-fortnite\/\">Sabrina Carpenter comes to Fortnite<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Sabrina Carpenter comes to Fortnite&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/sabrina-carpenter-comes-to-fortnite\/embed\/#?secret=kyKv1UXTc3\" data-secret=\"kyKv1UXTc3\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4>Opportunities beyond the screen<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Some gaming soundtracks escape the console entirely. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.midiaresearch.com\/blog\/live-orchestras-and-game-specific-compositions-death-stranding-is-a-masterclass-in-harmonising-games-and-music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MIDiA research<\/a> notes some of the biggest IRL orchestra tours for popular games such as Assassin&#8217;s Creed and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. This helps immerse fans into the gaming worlds they\u2019ve loved, while bringing exposure and revenue to the original composers and artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE Orchestra World Tour Trailer\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kHJVZOCqTAw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If artists create music specifically for a game, that impact can be expanded further. You can work alongside the game developers to double down with themed merch, and crossover marketing that reaches both gamers and music fan bases. Once again, helping gain exposure to your music, while bringing in revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Press start on your gaming strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gamers are loyal. They champion the music tied to their favourite games and keep listening much later down the road, no matter whether it&#8217;s fuelled by nostalgia or just a banging soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By integrating your music into the gaming world, artists can tap into new audiences, deepen fan engagement, and unlock new revenue streams. As music continues to overlap into the gaming ecosystem, so will the opportunities for artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a world where attention is one of the most desired currencies, gaming could be a way to keep audiences hooked on your music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.routenote.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Start distributing your music to streaming platforms for free today with RouteNote.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing your potential revenue sources as an artist is crucial for long-term success.
