Can Game Developers Use AI Music?

Published 7 February 2026

Short answer

Yes. Indie developers can generate background tracks, menu themes and loops with AI, which is far cheaper than commissioning a composer. Use a commercial plan so the music is licensed for your game. Autunes lets you crop, loop-friendly export and separate stems for layered audio.

Music is expensive for small studios. AI generation lets a solo developer score an entire game without a composer budget — as long as the licensing is right.

Get a commercial licence

Use a paid plan that grants commercial rights so you can ship the music in a product you sell. On Autunes, paid plans include commercial usage.

Make it game-ready

Generate themes and ambient beds, crop them to the lengths you need, and use stem separation to layer or fade elements dynamically in your engine.

  • Menu themes and ambient loops.
  • Crop and stems for layering.
  • Commercial licence on paid plans.
