As with previous iterations of The Game Awards, the 2023 show is set to be hosted and produced by Canadian games journalist Geoff Keighley.[1] He returned as an executive producer alongside Kimmie Kim, and Richard Preuss and LeRoy Bennett returned as director and creative director, respectively.[2] The presentation is scheduled to take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on December 7, 2023, and is set to be live streamed across multiple online platforms.[1] Public tickets became available for purchase on November 6.[2]
Nominees
Nominees were announced on November 13, 2022.[3] Any game released for public consumption on or before November 17, 2023, was eligible for consideration. The nominees were compiled by a jury panel composed of members from over 100 media outlets globally. Winners are determined between the jury (90 percent) and public voting (10 percent); the latter is held via the official website and on Discord. Specialized juries decided the nominees for categories such as accessibility, adaptation, and esports.[4]
