Game Awards 2025: The 12th edition of The Game Awards (TGA) 2025 has kicked off at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. Honouring the best video games of the year, the evening is being hosted by Geoff Keighley, the creator and producer of TGA 2025. Streaming live across the world, you can catch The Game Awards 2025 live on YouTube, JioHotstar, Prime Video, Twitch, and even social media platforms like , TikTok Live, Facebook, Instagram, Steam and Kick.
Leading the chart with 13 nominations, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has officially dominated two categories. Bagging the award for Best Independent Game and Best Debut Indie Game, it is a big win for Sandfall Interactive and Kepler Interactive. It is even a top contender for the highest honour of the show, Game of the Year. However, ‘Death Stranding 2: On The Beach’, ‘Donkey Kong Bananza’, ‘Hades II’, ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’, and ‘Kingdom Come: Deliverance II’ gives it stiff competition.
