The Game Awards Adds Disney+ to Its Livestream

The 12th annual Game Awards will stream live on Disney+ on December 10, expanding the event’s lineup of viewing platforms. The ceremony begins at 7:30 p.m. ET and will take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with Geoff Keighley returning as host.

Viewers can watch the show via Instagram Live, Facebook, Kick, X, TikTok Live, Steam, Twitch, or YouTube. Its program is expected to include awards, game announcements and musical performances. Disney+ said viewers can anticipate announcements and surprises involving some of Disney’s upcoming gaming titles.

The event’s first Disney+ broadcast adds to the service’s gaming-related programming, which includes “Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation” and the upcoming anime series “DEATH STRANDING ISOLATIONS.” The latter is set for Hulu in the United States and Disney+ internationally.

The Game Awards began in 2014, when it drew 1.9 million livestreams. Its 2025 ceremony reached 171 million global livestreams across multiple services and platforms, an 11% increase over the 154 million recorded in 2024. The awards are selected by a jury of more than 150 media and creator outlets, with fan voting opening after nominations are announced.
