In 2021, ''Soul'' repeated the feat of ''The Social Network'', earning Reznor and Ross both the Academy Award and Golden Globe for best original score, and Reznor and Ross collaborated with Halsey on her fourth album, ''[[If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power]]''. During this same time period, NIN recorded the collaborative single "[[Isn't Everyone]]" with [[Related_bands_and_artists#HEALTH|HEALTH]]. NIN embarked on a [[NIN 2022|tour]] in 2022 to make up for [[Canceled Pandemic Dates|canceled tour dates]] from 2020 and 2021. The aesthetic for the tour was mainly a continuation of the Cold And Black And Infinite Tour.
Scores for ''[[Empire of Light (Original Score)|Empire of Light]]'' and ''[[Bones and All (Original Score)|Bones and All]]'' were released in 2022, the latter kicking off what has become an ongoing collaboration with director Luca Guadagnino, much like the ongoing collaboration with David Fincher. Scores for ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (Original Score)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem]]'' and Fincher's ''[[The Killer (Original Score)|The Killer]]'' were released in 2023. The following year brought three more scores: Scores for two Guadagnino films, ''[[Challengers (Original Score)|Challengers]]'' and ''Queer'' for Guadagnino, as well as the score for ''The Gorge''. For the first time since ''Quake'' in 1996, a soundtrack by NIN was announced for the film ''Tron: Ares'' were released in 20252024.
Two more scores were announced for release in 2025: ''The Gorge'' and ''Tron: Ares'', the latter being a NIN score (the first since the ''Quake'' soundtrack in 1996.) Reznor and Ross also announced in 2024 that they had formed a company called [[With Teeth (company)|With Teeth]], a production venture dealing in multiple disciplines. They stated that there were plans for various film and TV productions, a fashion line, a music festival where Reznor and Ross would perform as composers, a record label, and an extended reality gaming experience in partnership with Epic Games. Around this same time period, several [[brand collaborations]] started to take place, and a virtual supergroup band called [[WitchGang]] (with Reznor and Ross, among others, having some level of involvement) also cropped up.
Today, Reznor is happier than he's ever been. He feels that he has found his calling in life and has found joy in creating music. Although he admits he could very easily relapse into his old ways, because he has been there, he has said he never wants to go back. He and his [[Mariqueen Maandig-Reznor|wife]] currently reside in California with their children and dogs.
