"I think this is another big step toward bridging the gap between music artists and gamers,” said Ninja, whose birth name is Tyler Blevins. “Our worlds keep getting more and more connected, and this feels like the next step—hopefully this can become the soundtrack to gaming.”

General Manager Toby Andrews said, “Through the hard work and dedication of a lot of people, it’s great to see this project come to life and expand the possibilities of what we can offer artists.”
