The Game Awards will stream on Disney+ for the first time
The Dec. 10 show will also air live on Disney+, on top of the platforms that already carry it. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Eastern.
Geoff Keighley, creator and executive producer of The Game Awards, announced on X that this year's show will stream live on Disney+, a first, and called it a debut "around the world."
Disney+ does not replace anyone. Keighley said the stream adds to every place the show already airs, and the event's official site still says the show streams on all platforms.
The poster attached to the announcement lists 7:30 p.m. on the East Coast and 4:30 p.m. on the West Coast. In December, Mexico City is one hour behind the East Coast, so the Disney+ broadcast starts at 18:30 there (6:30 p.m.).
The Peacock Theater in Los Angeles is the venue. The date and location were set on Feb. 2, when the show's website announced the Dec. 10 return; what is new is the way to watch.
Keighley's post speaks of a worldwide reach but does not list countries, languages or audio options. The date is fixed: Thursday, Dec. 10, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern.
