<p>Music-streaming giant Spotify has launched a new video game category.</p>
<p>Called Spotify Gaming, this category includes curated playlists like <a href="http://ift.tt/2bmsa6B">Power Gaming</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2b1YxUe">RetroWave</a>, and <a href="http://ift.tt/2bmsodZ">Top Gaming Tracks</a>, as well as songs from &quot;hundreds&quot; of games like <a href="http://ift.tt/1FTkBuk">Fallout 4 </a>and <a href="http://ift.tt/1hCMyOo">No Man&#8217;s Sky</a>. Gaming personalities such as <a href="http://ift.tt/2b1YEPF">Day[9]</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/2bmrxKl">Sneaky Zebra</a> have their own curated playlists as well, while more are coming later, Spotify said in a <a href="http://ift.tt/2bms8f5">blog post </a>today. The Top Gaming Tracks playlist features songs like &quot;You&#8217;re Gonna Go Far, Kid,&quot; by The Offspring and Eminem&#8217;s &quot;Rap God,&quot; so they don&#8217;t really have anything to do with video games.</p>
<p>You can also now visit <a href="http://ift.tt/2aVk6bI">http://ift.tt/2aVk6bI</a> to browse though the music service&#8217;s library of gaming songs in alphabetical order.</p>
<p>&quot;So whether you&#8217;re jumping down tubes as an Italian plumber, battling hordes of evil enemies or playing Barcelona at the Camp Nou, we got you covered with the perfect soundtrack,&quot; Spotify said.</p>
<p>Spotify&#8217;s new Gaming category should show up in the Browse section on all platforms (iOS, Android,<a href="http://ift.tt/1e8dJIN"> PC</a>, and PlayStation) starting later today.</p>
<p>PlayStation Music for <a href="http://ift.tt/1lXIW8W">PlayStation 4</a> and other PlayStation consoles uses Spotify and even supports <a href="http://ift.tt/1TWoFCH">background music play</a> so you can listen to tunes while in a game session. Background music support <a href="http://ift.tt/2alaGV5">recently came to Xbox One</a>, but Spotify is not available on Microsoft&#8217;s console.</p>
