Free music for indie games
Ten game music tracks, made by people and released as CC0 on OpenGameArt.org. That means you can use them in any game, including commercial ones, with no credit needed.
I picked these by hand so you have something good to prototype with. Every track is human-made, no AI. We still name each artist, because they deserve it.
Try them over your game: open the Gameplay studio, drop in a clip, and switch between these tracks while it plays.

What CC0 means for you
CC0 is a public domain dedication. You can use, edit, loop and sell the music as part of your game. You don't need to ask or pay. Credit isn't required, but it's a kind thing to do. Each track's OpenGameArt page is the source of truth for its license, so give it a quick look before you ship.
When you outgrow free music
Free tracks are shared by lots of games. When you want a theme that's only yours, here's how to find a composer. For sounds and voices, see how to get music and sound effects for your game.
