The Game Awards

The Game Awards on vuodesta  lähtien pidetty videopelien palkintogaala, joka korvasi aiemman Spike TV:n järjestämän Spike Video Game Awards (VGA) palkintogaalan.

Palkintogaalan tuottaa ja isännöi Geoff Keighley, joka oli mukana aiemmassa Spike Video Game Awards palkintogaalassa.

Tilaisuus esitetään suoratoistona Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Nintendo Network sekä Steam -palveluissa.
