Season 13 • Episode 1
UpcomingThe Game Awards is an annual awards ceremony honoring achievements in the video game industry. Established in 2014, the shows are produced and hosted by game journalist Geoff Keighley, who worked on its predecessor, the Spike Video Game Awards, for over ten years. In addition to the awards, The Game Awards also features premieres of new games and in-depth looks at previously announced ones.
Production
Absurdly cinematic staging for a show about pixelated plumbers.
Direction
Keighley's genuine love for games shines through awkward banter.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Keighley personally funded the first show after Spike TV cancelled the VGAs, turning a corporate obligation into an independent passion project.
The 2022 'Elden Ring' sweep and 'Arms' guy meme cemented the show as genuine cultural spectacle, not just marketing.
