Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, a 3D remake of the original 1981 title, has been awarded the Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media. Composer Winifred Phillips expressed her gratitude to Digital Eclipse and the audience for their recognition of video game music, stating it was a career highlight.

Phillips' win was a significant achievement, surpassing nominations from prominent composers including Wilbert Roget II (Star Wars Outlaws), John Paesano (Marvel's Spider-Man 2), Bear McCreary (God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla), and Pinar Toprak (Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora). In a post-award interview, she described her surprise and respect for the other nominees.

Phillips highlighted the unique nature of video game music composition, emphasizing the collaborative aspect of creating music that dynamically responds to player choices and experiences within the game's narrative. She described the experience as a special connection between composer and player.

Previous recipients of this prestigious award include Stephanie Economou (Assassin's Creed Valhalla) and Stephen Barton and Gordy Haab (Star Wars Jedi: Survivor). The award marks a significant milestone for video game music, following the groundbreaking win of Christopher Tin's "Baba Yetu" (Civilization 4) for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist in 2011.
