The Golden Joystick Awards take place tomorrow, Wednesday November 11, with the livestream of this year's ceremony kicking off at 10:00 PT / 13:00 ET / 18:00 GMT / 19:00 CET. Hosted by Alix Wilton Regan, who's taking a break from bringing Lara Croft to life in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and with a whole suite of guest presenters from around the world of gaming, you can make sure you don't miss a moment.

Awards will be handed out across 25 categories - 22 of which have been chosen by votes that have been cast over the last couple of months - with the evening culminating in the biggest prize of the lot - Ultimate Game of the Year.
There are plenty of games in the running for big wins at this year's show; 007: First Light, Resident Evil Requiem, Crimson Desert, Saros, The Blood of Dawnwalker, and many more will all be hoping to walk away with prizes. And it's not just AAA games either, with the likes of Valheim, Mewgenics, and Meccha Chameleon also nominated across multiple categories.
