Here's how to watch it and what to expect
The end of the year is almost here, but there's one final massive event remaining for video game fans to tune into. The Game Awards 2025 presentation is kicking off later today. The annual show is being hosted live at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, but everyone else can catch the livestream as usual.
Aside from being the most popular award presentation, the show will also carry major announcements from plenty of game publishers, with everything from surprise reveals to gameplay segments incoming. Musical performances (Evanescence this time) and celebrity cameos are a usual sight at the event too. Here's how to catch it later today, December 11:
The Game Awards 2025 ceremony kicks off at 7:30 pm ET / 4:30 pm PT / 12:30 am GMT. It can be caught live for free across YouTube, Twitch, X, Facebook Live, Steam, Prime Video, Facebook, and other major streaming platforms, alongside plenty of co-streams from creators. Separate ASL and descriptive audio streams are also available on YouTube.
The show is slated to be over three hours long.
VIDEO The nominees for this year's 29 categories have already been announced. Find the complete nominations list over here. There are plenty of titles from well-known publishers like Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, EA, and Sega here. However, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has already set records by being nominated for 12 categories.
As for what gaming fans can expect to see at the event, the next Tomb Raider game is already confirmed to appear there. Fresh trailers for Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem and Sony's Saros are incoming as well. The new content for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 that Sandfall Interactive teased recently may be revealed at the show too.
Plenty of rumors are spiraling out of control as the event draws nearer. These say that the Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake, the next game by Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian, and even Control 2 from Remedy can show up at the event. Of course, take rumors like these with a grain of salt until something official appears.
