A great mobile game soundtrack does more than fill silence. It sets the mood, fuels the action, and sometimes even becomes a playlist you’ll listen to outside the game. For some, it can make or break the game. That said, here are 15 mobile titles with music that's just as good as the gameplay.
15. Wreckfest
Wreckfest’s soundtrack came together with input from the community, with fans voting on songs submitted by independent artists. The result is a mix of rock, metal, and electronic tracks that fit the game’s wild, crash-heavy races perfectly. It’s loud, chaotic, and gives every wreck an extra jolt of adrenaline.

14. Another Eden
Another Eden has a soundtrack led by Yasunori Mitsuda, best known for Chrono Trigger, alongside Shunsuke Tsuchiya and Mariam Abounnasr from Procyon Studio. The music leans on acoustic instruments like flute, guitar, and piano, while scaling up to orchestral and even synth rock when the story calls for it. It feels like classic JRPG comfort food, with enough standout tracks to make the long adventure memorable.

13. Brawl Stars
Brawl Stars doesn’t just refresh its gameplay with each season — it drops new music too. Every event and update brings fresh background tracks that match the theme, whether it’s playful, spooky, or high-energy. It’s a nice surprise from Supercell and part of what keeps the game feeling alive.

12. Arknights
Arknights is known for mixing just about every genre you can think of into its soundtrack. One track might lean on heavy dubstep, while the next could be smooth jazz or straight-up rock. That range makes the music as unpredictable and exciting as the game itself.

11. Plants vs Zombies 2
Plants vs. Zombies 2 takes its soundtrack beyond background music by tying different “jams” to gameplay, from punk and rap to metal and 8-bit. These tracks don’t just set the mood: they actually boost zombies with themed abilities, making battles feel playful and unpredictable. Composer Peter McConnell keeps things light, weird, and catchy, carrying on the quirky spirit of the original game’s music.

10. Lanota
Lanota blends rhythm gameplay with a storybook-style world, and the music is what really makes it stand out. Most tracks combine piano and orchestra, but you’ll also hear electric guitars and heavier riffs mixed in. The variety keeps every stage fresh and gives the game a soundtrack that’s as memorable as its art style.

9. Sneaky Sasquatch
Sneaky Sasquatch has a soundtrack that leans into cozy, laid-back vibes, making the game even more charming. Composers SCNTFC and A Shell in the Pit created tracks that people use far beyond gameplay, from car rides to background music while working. It’s warm, fun, and surprisingly popular as a family-friendly playlist on its own.

Dislyte has a soundtrack that feels modern and polished, with tracks that sound straight out of today’s playlists.

Machinarium’s soundtrack captures the strange little robot city better than words ever could.

6. Bastion
Bastion’s soundtrack shapes the whole experience. Darren Korb blended acoustic guitar with electronic beats to create what he calls “acoustic frontier trip-hop”, a sound that feels both gritty and otherworldly.

Monument Valley’s soundtrack is built on ambient tones: soft drones, subtle chimes, and gentle synths that match the game’s dreamlike puzzles. Every tap and movement adds a musical note, turning play itself into part of the score. The result is calming, intimate music that feels inseparable from the game’s world.

Blue Archive has a soundtrack built around Kawaii Future Bass, a style you rarely hear in gacha games. The bright, playful energy of the music fits the game’s world perfectly and helps define its atmosphere.

Genshin Impact has one of the most carefully crafted soundtracks in mobile gaming. HOYO-MiX, the studio’s in-house team, writes orchestral themes for regions, battles, and characters that feel made for each moment. The result is music that’s cinematic, emotional, and central to the game’s world.

1. Alto's Odyssey
Alto’s Odyssey keeps its soundtrack minimal but powerful, with just three tracks tailored to different modes. Each piece shifts subtly during play, so the music never feels exactly the same twice. The result is calm, emotional, and perfectly in sync with the game’s endless desert setting.
