There are also musical performances and, of course, awards for the biggest games of 2024.

 If you want to catch The Game Awards, here’s everything you need to know.

When does The Game Awards 2024 start?

The Game Awards lasts for several hours, and the exact start time is a little hard to pin down.

The stream starts about an hour before the official show, beginning with a 30-minute countdown.

Then there is a 30-minute pre-show that also includes awards and trailers, but there is no stage, and it isn’t hosted by Geoff Keighley.

We have the times that the pre-show starts below, but if you don’t mind missing some trailers and awards, you can start watching 30 minutes later.

  • Thursday, December 12, 2024
    • 4:30pm PT (Western US)
    • 7:30pm ET (Eastern US)
  • Friday, December 13, 2024
    • 12:30am GMT (UK time)
    • 1:30am CET (Central Europe)
    • 9:30am JST (Japan time)
    • 11:30am AEDT (Eastern Australia)
    • 1:30pm NZDT (New Zealand time)

How to watch The Game Awards 2024?

The Game Awards 2024 will be live on YouTube, but if you can’t watch it live, you can see it as a VOD at the same link after the show.

Do note that the stream will go live 30 minutes ahead of the official start time of the pre-show, and an hour before Keighley takes the stage.

What will be shown at The Game Awards 2024?

Gearbox has confirmed that it’ll be showing more of Borderlands 4, and Hangar 13 will show Mafia: The Old Country.

One of the bigger reveals will be Civilization 7 from Firaxis, which is one of the most anticipated games of next year.
