The D.I.C.E. Award for Outstanding Achievement in Audio Design is an award presented annually by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences during the D.I.C.E. Awards. This award is "presented to the individual or team whose work represents the highest level of achievement in creating a unified audio experience. The quality of the individual sound effects, voice over, music, technology, and other audio elements will be considered in addition to the overall audio mix of the title".[1] Creative/technical Academy members with expertise as a game designer, producer, audio designer, or musician are qualified to vote for this award.[2]
The award's most recent winner is Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, developed by Kojima Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
The award was initially presented as the Outstanding Achievement in Sound and Music for "the integration and use of sound and/or original music in an interactive title".[3][4] The first winner was PaRappa the Rapper, which was developed by NanaOn-Sha and published by Sony Computer Entertainment.[5] Sound and Music was separated into their own categories for Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition and Outstanding Achievement in Sound Design during the 3rd Annual Interactive Achievement Awards.[6] The award was renamed to its current title at the 23rd Annual D.I.C.E. Awards.[1]
