In recent years, the Game Awards have become an indispensable entry on the annual gaming calendar. There are now also several new announcements and first trailers to be seen at the event; the Xbox Series X was revealed four years ago.
However, if you want to watch the event live, you need to be prepared for the night shift. Because on December 8th the show starts at 1:30 am German time and is scheduled to end at around 5 am.
