The Game Awards will reveal nominees for its 2026 categories in a live announcement next week on Tuesday, Nov. 17. Multiple outlets report that the nomination reveal will be delivered via livestream, with the wider show set for December.
Variety frames the timing around major industry context, noting the announcement happens just days before the expected debut period for “GTA 6,” which it describes as a leading Game of the Year contender. Polygon and Pushsquare focus more directly on the confirmation date and livestream/show schedule details, rather than expanding on specific contenders.
