The Game Awards draws 118 million viewers



The Game Awards drew a record 118 million viewers for its show celebrating the game industry and showing upcoming games.

I attended the in-person event in the Peacock Theater at LA Live in Los Angeles and it was a packed house, where Baldur’s Gate 3 won Game of the Year.

Geoff Keighley tweeted that he was humbled by the results.

The show beat out the 103 million viewers from a year ago, and Keighley said the viewership on @YouTubeGaming the 4K TGA feed delivered a 53% jump in year-over-year peak concurrent viewers to over 900,000. Platform-wide (including co-streams), The Game Awards on YouTube was up 35% to over 1.7 million peak concurrent. More than 4,000 channels co-streamed the show on YouTube.

We had our own cool side event with GamesBeat at The Game Awards. Our first-ever such show was a success, with talks like a fireside chat with Annie Belfield of TikTok and Johanna Faries, general manager of Call of Duty.
