Please note that the listed start times are for the pre-show, not the main event. The pre-show usually lasts around 30 minutes and includes presentations by some of the developers, often showcasing independent games.
The preshow might include some awards – last year they honored the Best Fighting Game, Best VR Game, Best Esports Game, Best Esports Athlete, Games for Impact, and Innovation in Accessibility – so be sure to tune in for the complete show.
The main Game Awards show is expected to be about three hours long, but that doesn’t include the 30-minute pre-show. These events usually go a little long, so if you want to watch the entire show, including Game of the Year, you should plan for it to last between three and a half to four hours.
