The Game Awards 2021 is now official, kicks off Dec. 9
The Game Awards is a yearly event that helps to decide what the best games of that year were, often sparking a ton of post-show internet discussion. It’s been confirmed today that The Game Awards is officially returning on Dec. 9, 2021, once again taking place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, to evaluate this year’s most popular and beloved titles for a variety of awards and honorifics.
The winners from last year’s The Game Awards 2020 were fairly standard, and we expect more of the same from this year’s rendition of the event. Expect to see big releases like Psychonauts 2, Deathloop, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, and many more all make an appearance or be nominated for an award.
We won’t know which games are walking away with an award until the event on Dec. 9, but it’ll be interesting to see how many of the best Xbox games that released throughout 2021 make the cut. Unfortunately, one of this year’s most anticipated titles, Halo Infinite, likely won’t be eligible this year since it releases right before The Game Awards on Dec. 8, 2021. Still, there’s plenty to look forward to when returning host Geoff Keighley takes the stage for The Game Awards 2021.

The Windows 11 Start menu sucks
The new Start menu in Windows 11 looks pretty at first glance, but the lack of customization and control over what goes in there is already annoying me, and the OS isn’t even out yet.
