The rows mix measurements, so they are not a growth series. The May 2025 figure spans several platforms, while the September 2026 figures cover Spotify alone.
Awards split. Austin Wintory won the 2026 Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games for Sword of the Sea, in a field that honored recordings released from 31 August 2024 to 30 August 2025.
Game Soundtrack Streaming Beyond Spotify: Nintendo Music

Nintendo streams its game music through its own app. These are download estimates, not active users, and a download does not confirm regular listening.
Nintendo Life set the figure against more than 34 million Switch Online memberships and called it a small portion of subscribers. Broader video game player counts put that base in context.

Fortnite Festival Stream Lift
Placement inside a game moved streams on outside platforms. After The Chainsmokers’ “Closer” was announced for Fortnite Festival on 27 February 2024, on-demand audio streams rose week over week in the US and outside it.
The weekly jump was 15.6% in the US and 17.4% outside it. Over eight weeks, streams held 20.8% and 24.9% higher. Luminate notes these counts exclude in-game Fortnite Festival activity.
