Record-Breaking 2024 Builds Hype for This Year
In 2024, The Game Awards drew over 154 million global livestreams, setting a new record. Moreover, viewership rose 31% compared to 2023’s 118 million, which continued the event’s growth streak for the 11th straight year.

As a result, anticipation for the 2025 show has never been higher.
A Night of Games and World Premieres
The Game Awards blends industry recognition with entertainment. For example, last year’s show delivered world premieres for major titles like Borderlands 4, The Witcher 4, and Elden Ring: Nightreign. In addition, music filled the stage with performances from Twenty One Pilots, d4vd, and Snoop Dogg.
Furthermore, big names from gaming and entertainment appeared throughout the night. Therefore, the 2025 show promises to push things even further.
