\n\tThe Game Awards<\/a> will live stream on Amazon<\/a>\u2018s Prime Video this December, marking the first time the Geoff Keighley<\/a>-hosted video game awards show has partnered with a subscription streaming service for the event.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince it launched back in 2014, the awards show celebrating the gaming industry has streamed annually across free platforms including YouTube, Twitch, X, TikTok and some platforms in China, with the 2024 edition reaching more than 154 million livestreams across all platforms.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis year, the show will introduce a live stream on Amazon\u2019s Prime Video, in addition to its usual broadcasts on YouTube and the Amazon-owned Twitch.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Game Awards 2025 will air live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Dec. 11 from 5-8 p.m. PT\/8-11 p.m. ET. The show will feature world premieres, major new game announcements, and musical performances, alongside awards honoring the year\u2019s best games and creators. Per TGA, stars from Amazon\u2019s \u201cFallout\u201d TV series, which debuts its second season next month, will also present during the event.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, the Game Awards will be livestreamed on Twitch worldwide in 2K (1440p) for the first time, allowing creators to re-broadcast the show live to their communities. For the 2025 show, the event will include Twitch Drops, rewarding Twitch viewers who watch 30 minutes or more with exclusive in-game content and a limited-edition TGA chat badge.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs part of the expanded partnership, Amazon will launch a dedicated shop for The Game Awards merch, and during the live broadcast, viewers can expect \u201cPrime-exclusive, limited-time deals across nominated games, new releases, hardware and more, revealed in real time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe great news about this is that it\u2019s additive and we still get to air everywhere we already air the show, and we\u2019re adding Prime Video as a partner, which is really exciting for us,\u201d The Game Awards creator and CEO Keighley told Variety. \u201cWe\u2019ve had lots of conversations with people over the years, and we\u2019re like, there\u2019s no way, there\u2019s no world where we could ever really take the show off YouTube and Twitch \u2014 where it was born back in 2014.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tAs for how Amazon\u2019s involvement with the show might impact the behind-the-scenes process on the show itself, Keighley said: \u201cIt\u2019s important people know it doesn\u2019t change our show at all. We\u2019re still making the same show. I came out of a life of working on television networks. And you had television folks that would give opinions and things on what you want the show to be. This is still The Game Awards. It\u2019s the exact same show. They\u2019re really just another distribution outlet, and they\u2019re really letting us build the show the way we always do. We\u2019re not changing anything about the show to accommodate a new platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKeighley says talks with Amazon about the streaming deal began earlier this year and they were \u201cvery receptive\u201d to the non-exclusive deal The Game Awards team wanted.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur vision is to take it to as many people as possible around the world and share the magic of games with the widest possible audience,\u201d Keighley said. \u201cAnd we know a lot of video game companies can post trailers on YouTube and Twitch, but what more can we do for them? And that\u2019s why we do these big events, and we reach more audiences. So the fact that now all these games, these announcements, all these award moments, will be seen by, hopefully, an even wider audience with Prime Video is exciting to us. And the reach of Prime Video, especially globally, is really, really amazing. It\u2019s kind of a test and learn for all of us to see how much more audience is out there on these platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s funny to me, though because I keep going back to when Geoff and I first started this, everybody is like, \u2018Oh, an online show. Oh, a streaming show.\u2019 Cut to years later, that\u2019s a trend \u2014 a lot of awards shows getting onto Amazon, Hulu and Peacock,\u201d The Game Awards executive producer Kimmie Kim said. \u201cSo to me, it\u2019s more refreshing to see how the streaming shows are evolving it. And I\u2019d love to think that we contributed a little bit for streaming.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Game Awards will live stream on Amazon\u2018s Prime Video this December, marking the first time the Geoff…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[971,49,48,126542,61,126543],"class_list":{"0":"post-276940","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-amazon","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-geoff-keighley","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-the-game-awards"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
