The Game Awards 2019 will take place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday evening.

The annual event, which is executive produced by Geoff Keighley, is scheduled to begin at 8:30pm ET / 5:30pm PT / 1:30am December 13 UK.

It can be watched on multiple platforms, but we’ve chosen to embed the YouTube stream above so you can tune in live here.

The Game Awards nominees were announced in November, with Death Stranding up for eight prizes and Control up for seven.

Around 10 brand new games will be announced during the event, including a story driven title set in the League of Legends universe.

This year’s show will also feature a new Ghost of Tsushima trailer, plus a fresh look at Gears of War’s real time strategy spin-off, Gears Tactics, which is in development for PC and Xbox.

The Game Awards is currently running a digital spin-off event called The Game Festival, which enables PC players to sample Steam demos of 13 unreleased titles, including System Shock, for a 48-hour period.

Red Dead Redemption 2, Celeste and Fortnite won multiple prizes at The Game Awards 2018, as did God of War, which was crowned Game of the Year.

More than 10 new games were announced at last year’s the event including Mortal Kombat 11, The Outer Worlds, Far Cry New Dawn and Journey to the Savage Planet.
