The year is already almost over, and that means it’s video game awards season. No show draws more attention than The Game Awards hosted annually by Geoff Keighley since 2014. This year’s event will be an in-person affair, marking a return to form after COVID forced a digital-only show last year. As usual, it will feature a mixture of accolades, trailers, and musical performances. The pre-show kicks off at 4:30 p.m. Pacific / 7:30 p.m. Eastern, which is 12:30 a.m. (Friday) in the UK. The full show starts a half-hour later, although there’s relatively little difference between the two. You can watch it all live right here by clicking below!

If you watch The Game Awards 2021, you’ll catch a new movie trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and our first look at the next Sonic video game. We also know that former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime will be making an appearance. Keighley has also been teasing a big reveal that’s been in the works for two and a half years. In the past, Nintendo has used the show to reveal Smash fighters, unveil Zelda trailers, and more.
