How to Find a Song From a Video Game
Game music falls into two groups: licensed songs (like a racing or sports game's radio) and the original soundtrack composed for the game. Licensed songs are easy to identify; original tracks are best found through the game's soundtrack.
1. Licensed songs: identify them while they play
Hold your phone near the speakers and use SoundCatch Listen mode for 8 seconds. Turn down game sound effects in the settings if they cover the music. Watching a gameplay video in the browser? The SoundCatch Chrome extension works there.
Identify game music
Hold your phone near the speakers and tap Listen, or hum it after you play.
Open SoundCatch →2. Original soundtrack: look up the OST
Search [game name] OST or soundtrack. Most games release their soundtrack on Spotify, YouTube or Steam, with track names. Fan wikis for big games often say where each track plays ("main menu theme", "boss fight").
3. Search the moment
Search the game and the moment: [game name] song in the final level. Game communities are very good at naming tracks.
FAQ
Can I hum game music to find it?
For licensed songs and very famous game themes, yes. Lesser-known original tracks are easier to find through the game's soundtrack.
Why doesn't Listen mode know the game track?
Original game music isn't always in recognition databases. Look up the game's official soundtrack instead.
