Disney Plus Is Officially the New Streaming Home of the Game Awards
The Game Awards will stream on Disney Plus for the first time this year, adding a new viewing option alongside its usual Twitch and YouTube broadcasts. The move expands Disney Plus’s live-event offering and gives the gaming awards show another route to reach viewers.
Hosted by Geoff Keighley, the ceremony is scheduled for 10 December at 7.30pm ET/4.30pm PT at Los Angeles’s Peacock Theater, with tickets available to attend in person. The programme will include awards, musical performances and game announcements; the Game of the Year race is especially uncertain, with GTA 6 due out on 19 November, one day before the eligibility cutoff.
In short
- The Game Awards will stream on Disney Plus for the first time.
- The ceremony is set for 10 December in Los Angeles.
- GTA 6 is due out a day before the awards eligibility cutoff.
Explained simply
The Game Awards is an annual ceremony recognising video games and the people who make them. It is hosted by Geoff Keighley and combines awards with music and announcements about upcoming games.
Disney Plus is a subscription streaming service best known for films and television, while Twitch and YouTube are widely used to watch gaming content. Carrying live events is part of Disney Plus’s effort to offer more than on-demand programmes, and the extra outlet may make the ceremony available to viewers who already use the service.
The Game of the Year award is one of the ceremony’s main prizes. Eligibility rules set a cutoff for which games can be considered, so a release close to that date can affect which titles enter the race.
