Background music you can monetise (Beatoven keeps ownership)
Prototype songs and menu music on a paid plan
What it does
AI background-music generator; its site lists games among supported uses.
Text-to-music generator for full songs and instrumentals; used for prototyping soundtracks and menu music.
Verdict
For background music you can monetise; you get a perpetual licence but Beatoven keeps ownership, and pricing is unverified.
For prototype songs and menu music; free-tier output is personal, non-commercial use only, and upgrading later doesn't license songs made on the free plan.

Free $0/month (no commercial rights). Pro US$10/month billed monthly, or US$96/year (US$8/month) billed yearly; Premier US$30/month billed monthly, or US$288/year (US$24/month) billed yearly. USD prices from the pricing page's own plan data. source
Commercial use allowed FAQ: you get a non-exclusive perpetual licence to use and monetise downloaded tracks; Beatoven.ai remains the owner of the tracks. source
Commercial on paid plans only Terms: Pro/Premier subscribers are assigned Suno's rights in their Output; free/basic tier Outputs are for personal, non-commercial use only. Suno's help centre adds that subscribing after you made a song "will not give you a retroactive license for the song", so free-plan songs stay non-commercial after you upgrade; songs made while subscribed keep commercial rights even if you cancel. source
