Late last year, BAFTA revealed that it would be getting into the business of video game concerts by hosting an event in 2026 featuring a ton of exciting and beloved soundtracks from a variety of major titles. This is known as the Games in Concert Tour and recently it began its proceedings by hosting a London premiere show at the Royal Festival Hall in the British capital.
