SQSide Quest

Discover music through the games you love.

A music-discovery service that understands games. Game soundtracks, remixes and game-inspired music, found through what you play, not what you already listen to.

  • Tell us what you play.
  • Tell us what you're feeling.
  • We'll find your next favourite track.
A trail of tracks you did not know you wanted

Works in your browser on desktop and phone. Android app on the internal test track; iOS is coming later.

Side quests

Every path through the catalogue is a quest of its own. Pick one; the log keeps your progress.

How it finds music

Streaming services know what music you listen to. Side Quest wants to know what games you love.

The games you love

Pick the games you love when you join, and change them any time.

Choose up to five games when you start. You can change them later.

The mood you're in

Companion hears the music itself: tempo, texture, energy. Not a genre tag someone typed.

What you keep coming back to

Every genuine listen and every favourite sharpens the trail. A skipped track is never punished.

Join the party: Side Quest for Artists

Get your music discovered by gamers. Your tracks go into the game-music graph, which connects listeners who love a game to the music that captures its spirit.

  • Upload a track and say which games it belongs to.
  • Track where it travels: surfaced, played, favourited.
  • See what Companion hears in it.
