The Game Awards 2020 will be an online-only affair

The Game Awards 2020 will run as an online-only offering, organiser Geoff Keighley has confirmed.

“We have a very interesting plan for the show this year. We’re definitely doing it,” Keighley told IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey. “We’ll share more in the coming weeks about it, but it’s actually probably going to be our biggest show yet.”

Just because it’s a digital event doesn’t mean it’ll be stuffy, Keighley stressed.

“We’re definitely doing more than just me in a room, announcing winners,” he said. “I’m really passionate about [still] doing the show live, versus something pre-recorded. So, yeah, we’re working on some scenarios for ways we can present the show live with a bit of spectacle to people… without the public [being] able to buy tickets to come to the show, and things like that, this year.”

We’ll have more on The Game Awards 2020 as news becomes available. Stevivor is a member of its voting jury.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
