The Game Awards Reaches New Viewership Milestone In 2025, Higher Than Super Bowl Numbers
"The Game Awards had another strong year in 2025, with host and organizer Geoff Keighley announcing today that the show reached 171 million global livestreams. That's up 11% from 154 million in 2024 and makes the 2025 show the "most watched TGA in history." Keighley also states that conversations about TGA on X were up 12% and that the show had 23,000 co-streams across Twitch and YouTube, which was up 50% year-over-year."
"The Game Awards 2025 had a bunch of big, exciting announcements, including Larian's next game, Divinity, along with Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, and a new shooter called Highguard. Many awards were handed out as well, including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 winning Game of the Year."
"The Sandfall-developed game was the biggest winner of the night, scoring nine total wins and breaking The Game Awards records. Keighley is expected to bring back The Game Awards in December 2026, but his next event will be Summer Game Fest in June 2026."
