Music choices

@veranza • 9d

Usually zen music, as I stream cozy games and spa music doesn't get me banned...lol

@raddad • 64d

I like to listen to rock or just the sounds of the game

@yeckler • 74d

this man is talented, calming music

@roorl • 78d

A mixture depending on the game. Rocket League especially I have my music just loud enough to hear it clearly but I got to hear sound effects in the game to avoid demos and know when my teammates have...more

@quinnvortex • 89d

100% the original audio. The music and sound effects help build the story of the game, so if the game I’m playing is telling a story, I’m hearing all of it.

@gamereagleg • 100d

i always listen to eminem when playing a competitive but when i just chilling i watch yt

@commandernici • 118d

really depends on the game, If it's a super story heavy game I listen to the game music, anything else I'll have something on but mostly it's some yt video, tv show or a podcast

@kelseyb • 122d

I do not listen to music while gaming.

@malfurious • 129d

Eepnds on the typeof game. RPG's: always. Action/Adventure: almost always, Racing: not often, Strategy: never!

@hush • 225d

It depends on the game and what im doing. If im in freeplay with Rocket League i'll throw on a movie on my second monitor. If im playing matches i'll put spotify on electro-pop or classic rock.

@buster • 230d

Game sounds. It really puts you into the game more then if you're playing dark souls while listening to Justin beibers "baby"

@destroythegrave • 245d

It really does depend on the game. For a game like Zelda, Skyrim, Last of Us, etc. I want to hear the work that the composer put in to the game's music But for games like NBA 2K, Session, Fortni...more

@dennis • 252d

I like the sounds of the game. There are so may audio cues in games that I don’t want to miss anything.

@donttouchmygrippers0 • 259d

Sometimes but if I want to listen to music while playing Zelda I put on Linkin park or something similar.

@markacashion • 266d

Pop & EDM (Electronic Dance Music)

@damnravi • 287d

I usually listen to the in-game music but if I play league I'll listen to Ghost, Arctic monkeys, etc.

@uxorcist • 298d

If it's single player or horror, definitely the game's soundtrack. Things like WoW or League of Legends, Among Us, etc - I could put on some music but for the most part, I prefer the game's soundtrack...more

@mase • 306d

Mostly no, but unless it's a game that I have repeatedly played a lot of and I'm getting bored of the game music. Mariokart 8 and Nba2k games are the main ones that I listen to my own music. For Mari...more

@legodad • 307d

I don’t listen to music while gaming, with the exception of the soundtrack on Tony Hawk pro 1&2. I couldn’t play that game if they didn’t also incorporate the playlist.

@wiifu • 307d

A healthy mix of gospel music and kingdom hearts & Mario rpg OST.

@jklein8383 • 307d

One listen to NOFX's The Decline will get you through one good match on Fortnite.

@evolvixon • 315d

This could be so many things depending on the day. But recently I've been listening to a lot of Magic Sword.

@izimmbiplays • 317d

It really depends on the game and the night. When I play world of Warcraft, I’m usually listening to Spotify, but if I’m playing GTA V or the RP in Sandbox RP, I don’t listen to music.

@jaimecitoamor • 330d

I think as a parent of toddlers in a small house I have gone to music because of the necessity of AirPods. And in the words of Sufjan Stevens I am an aging hipster, so you will find me listening to pr...more

@enderphoenix • 388d

Metal because, like shrimp, there's so many ways to experience it.

@nasko0406 • 413d

My music taste is all over the place. I go from Trans Siberian Orchestra to Gwar and even Ivan The Terrible but very big with 80's hair bands and the old 8 bit game tracks.

@seenitcoveredit • 430d

Rap or Classic Rock or would it be considered Ancient Rock now? Asking for a friend.

@madharryrackham • 453d

Sounds of the game 9 times out of 10. Pretty rare VERY casual gaming session to be playing other music in the background.

@lightning • 455d

Hardcore, Country, Classic Rock. Others that I enjoy here and there. I like most music with good Drums.

@ottozone • 471d

I listen to speed metal like DragonForce while playing Smash Bros competitively. Its gets the heart pumping heat into the hands. Otherwise, always listen to the beautiful soundtracks these video ga...more

@zonkedwheat9999 • 489d

I use the soundtrack of the game to appreciate the 50-100 people that worked on it and also thay did a great job.

@justsayingsoican • 542d

Both depending on the game

@dosandres • 548d

No music. Tried playing with some music today cuz I didn’t want to knock it before trying it. Just as disappointed as @jedijohann is with everyone now.

@badintel • 548d

Nah, unless it's absolute trash audio, I'm going with the sounds of the game. If the game audio sucks (which means it's probably some free phone game that I've downloaded for the weekend), then I'm pr...more

@dorsalfin • 548d

Usually only when I’m streaming unless a game has a good soundtrack like Stardew Vallley

@hrlwesty • 548d

Occasionally I will flip on some music and engage enemy forces “Iron Eagle” style. It helps me get into the zone. (Note: I no longer use cassette tapes. I am all compact discs now)

@xbitgaming • 548d

I'm always with the sound track. But when I'm editing I will listen to a punk rock mix list on Spotify

@bucket • 548d

Crank that playlist up to 11 and blast away baby! Brownie points if you share a playlist in discord with the squad! Keep adding amps to the setup to push it to 12!

@jdaviesiii • 548d

Typically with the sounds of the game. I might have music playing in the background, but its not over the game or anything.

@mjmanges • 548d

Sounds of the game if it is a console game, otherwise I get distracted. If it's a phone game, silence or whatever I'm listening to that week in Amazon Music.

@codyb • 548d

Sounds of the game. Games with good background music makes the game more enjoyable, plus I need to hear the game while I'm playing it. Listening to music would be distracting for me.

@tootslaroo • 548d

Only when I play tetris 99 and then it's whatever I'm in the mood for. I've found that many times the in game audio really helps with immersing myself in the game.

@jpegmario • 548d

I would say it’s about 50/50 listening to music while gaming. If it’s getting ultra competitive then I’ll use the sounds of the game.

@rusty6713 • 548d

99% of the time the sound of the game. Maybe I listen to other music during a puzzle type game.

@blockmamba • 548d

Sound of the game, can’t play without it!

@mcitaly • 548d

The games I play, specifically Rocket League and Warzone, I rely heavily on audio cues, so I just go with the in game sounds.

@daddymang • 548d

Both? Some games have really repetitive music, or you just play so much you don't need to hear it anymore and then Spotify fills the void nicely.

@dadalorian • 548d

Sounds of the game. It is cool that American Truck Simulator has an in-game radio (Big Rig FM all day long!).

@mariomaestro • 548d

Sounds of the game, always.

@bitzdad • 548d

The sounds of the game without a doubt. It's part of the gaming experience for me.

@crackityjones • 548d

Depends on the game. Something narrative or if I'm playing a campaign, no. But if I'm farming or doing something repetitive, then I'll listen to a podcast.

@codydavis • 548d

Sounds of the game! Always enjoy the in game audio and music to get the full experience.

@joob • 548d

I always listen to the game music, it’s part of the experience. Some game soundtracks are so good I listen to them while I’m doing other things (like Undertale, FF Tactics, Chrono Trigger). The on...more

@laughatbrian • 548d

Never listen to anything except the actual game. What kind of monsters do this???

@ohtwotwo • 548d

if I'm "listening" to anything while gaming, it's whatever the wife is watching or the games music. Otherwise I don't listen to music bc some games I need to hear the tiniest of details (like foot ste...more

@seth • 548d

If I am being a filthy try hard I go with in game music sound. If I am playing a FPS/Fighting casually then I listen to music.

@buddhastank • 548d

Most kind of games I play you have to be engrossed with every aspect of the game. Music in the background just takes away from the game. There are some genre of games that having background music isn'...more

@gongshowdad • 548d

I cant listen to music while gaming. I get so zoned into games like Halo and COD where I need to hear every tiny bit of detail within the game. Rocket league I can just listen to that soundtrack

@dan • 549d

Oddly specific response incoming. I like Final Fantasy Soundtracks but I remember grinding IX and X to gain levels while rotating in a 5 disc boombox Weezer's Blue, Green, and Pinkerton as well as The...more

@gargada • 549d

Generally go with the sound of the game. But if the soundtrack is bad or I’m in a mood, I’ll turn on some NuMetal. Korn tops the list for sure.

@alden • 549d

Depends on the game or how immersive I want the experience to be. If it’s a story-driven, cinematic game, you better believe there’s not another sound in the house. Which is probably why I don’t...more

@whitethunder • 549d

I usually have some lofi phonk music going during my streams, if I'm not streaming I don't play music when I'm gaming

@ggshadow • 549d

Usually have a playlist of rap and hip hop playing in the background when I’m playing fortnite!

@thunder • 549d

Nope, it’s distracting to me. Plus I don’t wanna get DMCAd while streaming.

@bullboski • 549d

When I was younger I used to listen to music while gaming but now I just listen to the game audio.

@rey • 549d

I need game sounds to play, that includes the game music. The only exception is rocket league. I turn down the in game music and just throw on any spotify playlist.

@qmoran87 • 549d

I usually have a playlist running in the background.

@joel • 549d

These answers are all so interesting already! Makes me feel I need to listen to the game audio more. I listen to music allllll the time. Including while gaming. And sometimes, I'll even watch a TV sho...more

@darthsmeagol • 549d

I have to go with the sounds of the game! The developers picked that music for a reason, and I’d be doing myself a disservice by listening to outside music. I agree with @jedijohann - takes away f...more

@geodad • 549d

Normally game soundtrack but for Mario Kart I do have a MK playlist of Spotify 😎. Shut up a Drive 🎶

@froggy • 549d

Here is the list of scenarios for music or not: Solo Campaign: ❌ Multiplayer while chatting: ❌ Streaming a game: ❌ A game I don’t know well: ❌ A game I know well playing by myself and n...more

@cknbromein • 549d

Usually in game soundtrack is my go to for games that require constant comms. If I’m playing by myself and chilling Lo-Fi is probably playing in the background at the house

@themadbombchu • 549d

From Masterpieces like Gerudo Valley to catchy little ditties like Fall Guys, I listen to the games soundtrack

@bammonty • 549d

Fall guys music is just so good but fortnite music is good until you’re not a solo. If it’s in in the lobby or in a car with a teammate or more it gets real annoying

@jedijohann • 549d

I listen to music while doing just about anything, but not gaming. Why would you do that? You risk the meter or the mood not matching and that would take away from the gaming experience.

@mrsgargada • 549d

Depends. I actually will mostly turn on a show I’ve seen a million times for background noise. However, I’ll listen to musical soundtracks when I’m playing my relaxing games like ACNH and DDLV

@trashdoc16 • 549d

Depends on the game. If it's something like RL or Fall Guys, and I'm not streaming, then I typically put on Surus XM's Bon Jovi station
