The Game Awards continues to grow and has a new streaming partner to prove it. Show creator and host Geoff Keighly announced Tuesday that The Game Awards 2025 will stream on Amazon Prime Video for the first time.
In addition to being on Prime, The Game Awards will continue to stream on YouTube, Twitch and other platforms.
Speaking to Variety about the news, Keighly said the fact that it’s an additional platform rather than a replacement makes it a “really exciting” addition to the show.
“We’ve had a lot of conversations with people over the years and we’re like, there’s no way, there’s no world that we can actually get the show off of YouTube and Twitch, where it was born in 2014.” said.
Keighly also said that despite being on a large platform like Prime Video, it won’t change the way the show is produced and broadcast. He also said Amazon was receptive to a non-exclusive deal with the show.
“It’s important for people to know that this doesn’t change our program at all.” said. “We continued doing the same program. I came out of a life working on television networks. And there were television people who gave you opinions and things about what you want the program to be.
“This is still The Game Awards. It’s the exact same show. They’re really just another outlet for distribution, and they really allow us to build the show like we always do. We’re not changing anything about the show to adapt it to a new platform.”
As mentioned, The Game Awards 2025 will be broadcast on Twitch and YouTube as usual. On Twitch, however, another first will occur, as the show will be broadcast in 2K. There will also be Twitch Drops for those who watch on the platform.
