The Game Awards is back with its 2022 edition to celebrate the best in video games, in an all-around extravaganza with the promise of new announcements. Games industry titan Geoff Keighley is returning to host the show live, backed by its musical orchestra and an in-person audience, at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles. A total of 108 titles, individuals, and teams will compete across 31 nominations to earn their respective prizes, forever cementing their names in video game history. Winners have been picked by a global jury of over 100 media publications that include Gadgets 360.

The Game Awards' length, by claiming that this year's edition will be “significantly shorter” than the past few years. “Yeah, the show is going to be shorter this year. We don't know the full time until we finish our rehearsals, but I think it's probably gonna be about a two-and-a-half-hour show,” he said on a Twitch stream.

That said, Keighley notes that the runtime might stretch a little bit depending on how long the winners' speeches are. This is good news, as last year's show was a nearly four-hour-long ordeal, including the pre-show, which maintains the same 30-minute-long runtime.
