Games use OGG files primarily because they are widely supported and they provide efficient data streaming. OGG is an open-source container format that can multiplex various types of compressed data streams, including audio and video. This means a single OGG file can hold different types of data, making it a convenient choice for complex, multimedia games.

Moreover, OGG files use a range of different compressed audio formats, like Vorbis, Opus, and Flac, which offer high-quality audio and better compression rates compared to other formats, such as MP3. This helps games reduce their file size, improve load times, and save storage space.

Finally, OGG files are patent-free and offer a high degree of flexibility. They can be streamed, random access is possible, and many OGG files can be easily edited with specialized software. These advantages make OGG files a preferred choice for game developers.
