Now Loading…The Game Awards and Game of the Year Nominees

The show, airing live Thursday, will hand out awards, reveal new games and include musical performances by Chvrches and Deadmau5.

To concide with The Game Awards 2015 tonight, Microsoft has launched a new sale on the Xbox Games Store, offering a host of Xbox One games available at a discount for two days only.

Game of the Year nominees feature open world epics, a farewell from a gaming legend, a game that celebrates creativity and one of the most challenging titles of the year.

The Game Awards 2015 will stream for free live on YouTube, Twitch, Steam, and Xbox Live.

A full list of all the nominees can be found on another article from Cinema Blend, and the categories are very broad including Developer of the Year, Best Independent Game, Best Mobile Game, as well as awards for different genres of games (Best Shoot, Best Action/Adventure Game, Role-Playing Game, Fighting Game, Family Game, Sports/Racing Game, Multiplayer, etc.).

What game do you think will win Game of the Year at The Game Awards? Thankfully, last year’s awards show was relatively low key, and while it was still way too long, we’re told to expect a shorter event tonight. “Whether it’s as a creator, player or, even as an author of your own story”, Geoff Keighley, the show’s producer and creator, said in an interview with International Business Times.

If you’re like us, you’re going to want to watch all of the action as it unfolds, but where can you watch The Game Awards?

There will be ten game premieres including Far Cry Primal, Quantum Break, Who’s Next? for Mortal Kombat X, The Walking Dead Michonne, and a special announcement for Rocket League fans, among others.
