Are you ready? It’s that time of year again, folks. No, not Christmas, but for many, it may be just as exciting. That’s right – get ready for The Game Awards 2023!
We’re expecting an epic event in December following what may well have been one of the greatest years in gaming ever. With titles like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Sea of Stars on Switch, it’s clear just how fortunate we are.
And of course, there will also be game reveals and “WORLD PREMIERES,” so we’ll definitely be watching to see what – if anything – gets announced for the Nintendo Switch.
In the meantime, let’s delve into everything we know about this year’s event so far…
When is The Game Awards 2023?
The Game Awards will take place on Thursday, December 7th (the 8th for anyone east of the Americas), live from the Peacock Theater in LA, at 5pm Pacific. There will be a 30-minute pre-show which starts at 4:30 pm PST. During this time, we expect a handful of “smaller” awards to be given out, just like previous years.
