Geoff Keighley says fans aged 18 and older can watch, vote and interact during The Game Awards’ first live broadcast inside Roblox.

The Game Awards is making a straightforward offer to Roblox players: stay inside the game and watch the ceremony together. Geoff Keighley says the 10 December broadcast will stream live on the platform for the first time, with viewers able to watch, vote and interact alongside the show. The invitation is limited to fans aged 18 and over.

Awards nights already turn trailers into conversation, whether you watch with friends or keep a group chat open through the ceremony. Roblox gives that habit an in-game home. Watching, voting and interacting are the announced activities, making the company of other viewers part of the reason to choose this version of the broadcast.

Roblox is joining a wider distribution push. Disney+ has also announced that it will carry the ceremony live, including in select international markets. Its announcement says YouTube, Twitch, X and TikTok will return as streaming partners for 2026. The choice is expanding across both conventional video services and a platform where viewers can participate inside a game.

That makes the age restriction important when deciding where to watch. Keighley specifies an 18-and-over audience for the Roblox livestream; younger viewers will need another route to the broadcast. The Game Awards’ official FAQ says the show will stream free across major streaming services, beginning with its opening act at 4.30pm Pacific on 10 December. That is 12.30am GMT on 11 December for UK viewers.

The invitation to vote during the Roblox broadcast also comes alongside a separate awards timetable. The published rules close regular public voting at 6pm Pacific on 9 December, ahead of the show, with winners chosen through a 90% jury and 10% public-vote split. Keighley hasn’t detailed the votes viewers will cast during the in-game livestream.
