Best Music games on PC
The 28 best Music games on PC, ranked from 5,212 critic and player ratings.
The best Music game on PC right now is Rocksmith 2014 Edition - Remastered, with a critic score of 92/100 — updated September 2026.
How this ranking is built
- Games are ranked on the aggregated critic score out of 100 imported from IGDB and Metacritic, never on Tier's own grades.
- A game only enters the ranking with at least 80 external ratings, so a single enthusiastic review never outranks a proven classic.
- Each game is ranked in one genre only, the one that defines it best, so the same title never tops two different genre charts.
- Community grades from F to S are shown next to every game, and only stated as a fact above 5 Tier ratings.
- Release window covered: 1970 to 2026.
- 28 games are listed on this page, carrying 5,212 ratings between them.
- Rankings are recomputed hourly; this one was last rebuilt on 29 September 2026.
