PlusMusic

PlusMusic is a music service geared for gamers and that offers adaptive audio that can be tuned to the action in a game. The service turns music into an interactive audio experience that can be synchronized with moments in the game. That means the music can change in response to events like a kill, some damage or death, for example, so the music is more closely tied to the game.

PlusMusic offers hundreds of thousands of songs across metal, racing, R&B, puzzle, punk, FPS and other genres. You can pick from three playback modes to govern how your game moments affect the music. You can customize PlusMusic with playlists, default playback modes, volume levels and color schemes for specific games.

The service uses AI to turn any song into an adaptive audio experience. That means PlusMusic can generate different sequences for each song in its library, tied to specific game events. For games that aren't fully supported, PlusMusic works like a regular music player.

Among its features:

• Adaptive Audio AI: Matches music to game events.
• Playback Modes: Choose how game events affect music playback.
• Customization: Create playlists, set playback modes, volume and color schemes.
• Huge Music Catalog: More than 400,000 tracks from indie artists and labels.
• Party Play: Play music with friends (coming soon).
• Smart AI Search: Find music tailored for your game.
• Exclusive Playlists: Curated music from artists.

PlusMusic offers a Premium subscription starting at $2.99 per month that gets rid of ads, opens up the full music catalog and lets you create custom playlists. The free version offers limited access to about 100 songs and curated playlists.

The service works on Windows PCs, but you'll need to install the Overwolf app to use it. For now, it doesn't work on Macs unless you use Parallels or Boot Camp.

PlusMusic is geared for gamers who want to take their gaming to the next level with adaptive music and for developers who want to build music more tightly into their games. The AI technology makes it relatively easy to generate and integrate engaging soundtracks that immerse players in the game.
