The Game Awards 2022: many nominees known

Canadian producer Geoff Keighley has unveiled an impressive list of at least 100 nominees for the Video Game Awards.

The famous annual The Game Awards (formerly Spike Video Game Awards and VGX), which celebrates a selection of video games released throughout the year, will return for the eighth time, including the presence of an audience, only professionals and personalities from the video game industry, after a year, in which the health crisis has resulted in many events taking place exclusively online. Like every year, the Geoff Keighley Game Awards will be streamed in 4K around the world via multiple services and social media such as Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Steam, Xbox Live, PlayStation Store, Mixer, Twitch and Caffeine.
