Presented by the timeless Geoff Keighley at Los Angelesthe Game Awards ceremony intends to mark the history of video games, with a whole host of surprises and announcements. This year, the Oscars of the video game world are already considered historic.
Where and when to watch The Game Awards 2024?
The Games Awards will be held this week, on Friday December 13. As the ceremony is broadcast from the United States, French spectators will have to experience a somewhat disturbing time difference. While Americans will be able to see the event late in the evening, we French will have to stay awake from 1:30 a.m. to 5 a.m. at least.
If your sleep is too precious, nothing stops you from viewing the results the next morning, on the official channels YouTube Or Twitch.
