Star Wars: Outlaws Soundtrack GRAMMY Nomination

Q: Which Game Score Category is Star Wars: Outlaws nominated for at the GRAMMYs?

It is nominated for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media.

The galaxy far, far away has hit the red carpet. The soundtrack for Star Wars: Outlaws is officially up for major GRAMMY recognition — marking an exciting moment for video-game music, Star Wars storytelling and the dynamic art of interactive scores.

According to official sources, the score landed a nomination in the category “Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media” at the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards.

Why This Nomination Matters

What does a GRAMMY nomination mean for a video-game soundtrack? Plenty.

It signals that game music is being taken seriously by the broader industry, beyond just players and niche critics.
For Star Wars, it means the franchise’s musical legacy (hey, John Williams) is branching into new media with grace.
For the composer Wilbert Roget II — who helmed the score — it validates years of work blending cinematic orchestration with immersive interactive design.

Inside the Score: What Makes It Stand Out

According to the official Star Wars article, Roget II wrote a soundtrack that stayed true to the saga’s mythic heritage while pushing into fresh territory.

Highlights:

Main Theme “Kay Vess. The Outlaw” anchors the game’s protagonist journey in musical form.
The score uses a dynamic music system, meaning the playlist adapts to the player’s actions and world events—perfect for an open-world Star Wars adventure.
The soundtrack features foreign-influenced instrumentation, bold percussive pulses, and dramatic orchestral swells that make you feel the underworld of the galaxy.

The GRAMMY Categories & Context

Here are the key categories where the soundtrack is reportedly being pushed (or has been recognized):

Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media: Star Wars: Outlaws listed among the nominees.
Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media: While not officially confirmed in every source, some fan discussions suggest the soundtrack is being considered for this category too.
Best Instrumental Composition: The piece “Kay Vess. The Outlaw” is reportedly being entered for this specific honor.

This nomination comes at a time when video game scores are gaining real traction at major awards. For example: the winner of the video-game soundtrack category in 2025 was Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord — and Star Wars: Outlaws was in strong contention.

What This Means for Fans & Creators

For fans of Star Wars or game music, this is huge:

It recognizes that the audio identity of the galaxy is evolving.
It celebrates interactive storytelling as not just gameplay but full-spectrum experience—visual, narrative and audio.
For creators, it sets a higher bar for what’s expected: not just a “good” game score, but one worthy of GRAMMY-level acclaim.

Final Thoughts

From the wild frontier of Star Wars to the hushed consoles and headsets of every player, the Star Wars: Outlaws soundtrack has made its mark. The GRAMMY nomination doesn’t just congratulate one composer or one game; it acknowledges that the Star Wars universe continues to evolve—and so does the music that shapes it.

If you haven’t already, cue up Kay Vess’s theme, strap in for your next mission across the Outer Rim, and listen closely. You might just hear history in the making.
