The Game Awards is an annual video game awards ceremony hosted by game journalist Geoff Keighley. The event honors the achievements of developers and publishers in the video game industry. This year, the game of the year nominees are A Plague Tale: Requiem, Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Stray, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
As the biggest video game ceremony of the year, you might wonder how and where to watch The Game Awards 2022 event. We’ve got everything you need to know, and the links to watch it on YouTube, Twitch, Steam, and Twitter can be found below.
Where to Watch The Game Awards 2022
The Game Awards start on December 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET. Here’s where you can watch them:
- The Game Awards on YouTube (4K)
- The Game Awards on Twitch (with Viewer Rewards)
- Steam (Steam Deck Drop)
- The Game Awards 2022 Twitter Event
The main show at The Game Awards will be roughly two and a half hours, according to Keighley. It’s a bit shorter than last year’s event, which was about four hours.
Depending on which platform you choose to watch The Game Awards on, there’s some opportunities to win some free goodies. For example, watching for an hour on Twitch might earn you a digital copy of the original Rogue Legacy.
Valve is also giving away one Steam Deck every minute of the show, which, if it lasts for 2.5 hours, equals 150 units (almost $60,000 in prizes at $399 MSRP).
Gamers can expect announcements and news for games like Among Us, Tekken 8, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Baldur’s Gate 3. Of course, plenty of surprises are still being announced, like PlayStation joining The Game Awards demo family. Also, a surprise developer sent a pitch to Keighley about a world premiere tonight, so stay tuned!
