When were The Game Awards?

The Game Awards were livestreamed around the world on Thursday 8th December 2022, or Friday 9th December 2022, depending on where you live thanks to different timezones.

The show was a long one, with a 30-minute opening followed by a three-hour-long main show. It was shorter than in previous years, but you still needed to put nearly four hours aside to watch the entire thing from start to finish.
