About this mix

Relaxing music for gaming at your own pace

Some sessions are about building a home, following a path or taking one more look around the map. Put on relaxing music for gaming when you want a separate background for that kind of play. Keep this cozy gaming room open on a nearby screen, or leave the music playing in the background while you play. Start when you are ready and let the queue repeat until you choose to stop.

Balance the music with your game's sound

If the game already has a soundtrack, lower or switch off one source so the two are not competing. Keep dialogue and useful sound cues at a level you can hear. Pause this player for a conversation or an important scene, then return to it when you want your own background again. The music here plays independently of the game and does not react to what happens on screen.

A soundtrack for building, exploring and puzzles

Arranging a village, tending a garden and working through a puzzle can each leave room for a little music. Choose the volume and track that suit your session, without expecting the same background to fit every game. For a task that needs more attention, try the focus collection. If you are stepping away from play to work on a project, the work page is another useful change of setting.

When you are ready for another kind of story

A quiet game can leave you in the mood for a book. The fantasy reading room offers a different scene for following a story on the page. If the next part of your evening is a lesson or some revision, visit the study collection instead.
