Best Video Game Song Tournament, 2025: Group 1

We have 279 songs this time, broken into 12 group of 241 For this round, you may vote for as many songs as you like! Songs will be ranked based on how many upvotes they got out of everyone who voted in that round. After all groups are done, the top 128 songs will advance to the playoffs.

…unless! After group play, but before the top 128, there will be a wild card runoff! If an individual game places more than 10 songs into the preliminary top 128, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 129+ in a play-in round.

We’ll be feathering groups. Voting on group 1 will be active until Tuesday March 24 at 10:00PM Pacific. As always, please listen to every song in a group; it’s simply good manners, and you very well may discover a new favorite.

Full group playlists are available below. You can listen to today’s group here.
