Epidemic Sound for game development

Copyright in video games works much the same way as it does in other creative works. The game developer typically holds the copyright to the game, which includes the code, graphics, audio, and other creative elements. If a third party contributes to the game's development, such as a composer or artist, they may hold copyright to their individual contributions.

Using copyrighted material in a video game, such as music or images, typically requires obtaining permission from the copyright holder. Alternatively, game developers can use royalty-free material, like the Epidemic Sound’s catalog, to avoid any copyright issues.
