The popularity and exposure of The Game Awards, the video game award conceived and hosted by Geoff Keighley, is still growing: the famous journalist and now showman has in fact announced that this year he will be able to count on a new broadcast channel: the event will in fact also be available live on Disney +, on the evening of December 10 (the early hours of the 11th, in Italy).

The announcement came directly from Keighley: Disney's streaming service will join the platforms that have always hosted the event, such as YouTube and Twitch, further expanding the potential audience of what has now become the most anticipated night in the gaming industry.

The success of the show is evidenced by the numbers, which have grown non-stop edition after edition. The first ceremony had gathered 1.9 million viewers, while last year's, hosted at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, reached 171 million viewers. An edition full of announcements of new games and dominated by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which in addition to several other statuettes won the coveted Game Of The Year award.

Born in 2014, The Game Awards has succeeded in just over twelve years where many others had failed. There has been no shortage of initiatives to give the industry a great evening of awards in the past, and Keighley has experienced several firsthand: already in 1994 he had worked on Cybermania, one of the first attempts to bring an event dedicated to video games to TV, and then collaborated with Spike TV at its Video Game Awards. G4, another broadcaster with which the journalist had a past, had also tried to carve out a space with G-Phoria, which aired from 2003 to 2009.

The Game Awards will take place at 01:30 in the morning of December 11, Italian time; there is less than a month left to find out what announcements and surprises it will have in store for us!
