2026 is gonna be an exciting year for The Game Awards, as it marks the first time that the highly anticipated award ceremony is coming to Roblox.
In a recent announcement on X, The Game Awards confirmed that this year’s edition will be the first in the show’s history to stream live on Roblox. Players aged 18 and older will be able to watch it on the platform alongside friends and other viewers.
For the unaware, The Game Awards 2026 is all set to take place on Thursday, December 10, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The show’s opening act begins at 4:30 pm Pacific on December 10, which equates to 12:30 am GMT on December 11.
If you’re tuning in from inside Roblox, you’ll be able to catch the broadcast live through The Block, Roblox’s primary venue for hosting virtual events. This also marks the first time an awards show has been livestreamed on the platform.
Players on Roblox will not only be able to watch The Game Awards 2026, but they’ll also be able to vote and interact with the show while it airs, earning themselves some virtual merchandise along the way. Voting on the official categories will also be available for Roblox players as we get closer to the event dates.
The exact details on the virtual merchandise that will be up for grabs during the ceremony have not been revealed at the time of writing.
Other than Roblox, The Game Awards is also reaching a wider set of services this year. Disney+ subscribers will be able to watch live through the app, which is another first for the show. Fans will also be able to watch livestreams via Steam, TikTok Live, X, Kick, Facebook, and Instagram Live.
