Game Awards 2023: rumored and confirmed game details for tonight! | Xbox One
The Game Awards 2023 event is just around the corner and if you want to know the program, the time of the conference as well as the games that will be presented, you have come to the right place.
What is The Game Awards 2023?
The Game Awards is a ceremony organized and produced by presenter Geoff Keighley that mixes awards and announcements.
A jury made up of a hundred media and influencers choose a series of games (nominees) that can win various prizes such as game of the year, best soundtrack or best artistic direction. Winners are announced live.
Between several nominations, the night was punctuated by trailers of various games, and some were announced or shown for the first time. Publishers who pay to broadcast their trailer benefit from significant media exposure.
At the end of the conference, a full summary will be available on Xboxygen. You can see the Game Awards 2021 as an example.
When is The Game Awards 2023?
- when ? On the evening of Thursday December 8 to Friday December 9
- where? On the line
- What time ? from 1:30 am
- How long ? The conference will be shorter than last year, less than 3 hours for the main show.
You see, the Game Awards were not designed for Europe because they take place in the middle of the night on the old continent. But as always, the Xboxygen editorial staff will be available throughout the night to cover the event live and bring you all the dedicated articles as well as the big summary.
Which games will be featured at The Game Awards?
If the event is highly watched, it’s because it includes a lot of game announcements. Some were also announced years before they came out, for example the case of Hellblade 2, which was announced for the first time at the Game Awards 2019.
Officially, between 30 and 40 games will feature new ones during the event. Some games are already out, but others will be completely new. We know that the longest conference trailer will last 4 to 5 minutes
