The Game Awards 2025: How to Watch, Times in Brazil, and What to Expect

That time of year has arrived again! If you are a fan of video games, you already know that December is not just about holiday parties, but also the stage for the industry's biggest event. The Game Awards 2025 takes place today, bringing not only the celebration of the year's best titles but also a rush of unprecedented announcements and trailers.

To ensure you don't miss a moment, we have prepared this complete guide with everything you need to know to follow the event live.

Date and Time: What time does The Game Awards 2025 start?

The event takes place this Thursday, December 11, 2025.

For the Brazilian audience, it is essential to pay attention to the time zone so as not to miss the start of the reveals. The official broadcast begins with a 'pre-show' (opening act), which usually reveals some smaller awards and exclusive trailers before the main ceremony.

• Pre-Show Time: 9:30 PM (Brasília Time)
• Main Ceremony Start: 10:00 PM (Brasília Time)

Host Geoff Keighley will take the main stage at 10 PM, but if you want to see everything from the start, we recommend tuning in from 9:30 PM.

Where to Watch TGA 2025?

The event organization has made it much easier for viewers, broadcasting the show on practically all major video and streaming platforms. You can follow everything live, for free, on the following channels:

• YouTube: The official channel of The Game Awards (4K broadcast).
• Twitch: Official channel (with co-streaming enabled for several content creators).
• Steam: Directly through the Valve store, often with giveaways of Steam Decks or games.
• TikTok, Instagram Live, and X (formerly Twitter): For those who prefer to follow on social media.

If you have a favorite Brazilian streamer or YouTuber, it is very likely that they will be providing live coverage on Twitch or YouTube, which is a great option for following with commentary in Portuguese.

How Long Will the Event Last?

Prepare your coffee and snacks, as it will be a long night. As it is a live event held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, there is no exact run time, but history gives us a good idea.

Expect The Game Awards 2025 to be at least 3 hours long. Counting the 30-minute pre-show, the broadcast will likely exceed 3 and a half hours, ending in the early morning of Friday (the 12th) in Brazilian time.

What to Expect from the 2025 Edition?

In addition to presenting the coveted Game of the Year (GOTY) trophy, the event is famous for its 'World Premieres'. This year's edition promises to keep the tradition with:

1. Winners: The reveal of the best games in categories such as Best Direction, Best Narrative, Best RPG, and the night's top prize.
2. New Game Announcements: Trailers for highly anticipated titles for 2026 and beyond.
