Here's when The Game Awards 2023 start and where you can stream it

It's that time of the year again, The Game Awards 2023 is right around the corner so if you want to tune in live - here's when The Game Awards start and where you can watch it.

There's always a lot of speculation around this event as to what announcements or premieres we could get. Host Geoff Keighley has already said that the event features "more new game announcements than normal" and that most of the games set to make an appearance are "kind of unannounced things" during a Q&A session on Twitch this week.

Some developers have also announced/teased that they'll be showcasing something during The Game Awards, so we already know that we'll be getting our first look at the upcoming Dead by Daylight single-player horror game, Persona developer Atlus' new game Metaphor: ReFantazio, and something exciting from the developer of Outlast. There are still probably lots of secret things to look forward to too.

When does The Game Awards 2023 start?

The event itself is set to take place on December 7 or 8 (depending on where in the world you are) and will be available to livestream at 7:30PM ET / 4:30PM PT / 12:30AM GMT. It's expected to last between 2 - 3 hours, so it'll be a very late night for those in the UK tuning in at past midnight tonight.

Hopefully, the late night will be worth it though as, like usual, we're not only going to find out the winners of this year's The Game Awards but also get some announcements, musical performances, and more.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
