They are almost upon us: The Game Awards 2023 are coming up in quick steps, promising all the unnecessary glitter and glamor, all the celebrity worship, only tangentially related music acts, and drama of any other big award show. Hate it or love it, to catch all the juicy new game reveals and announcements happening at the show, you’ll need to endure that other stuff as well. Or skip through the VOD on the next day, but then you give up the right to complain, so choose wisely.

For that, of course, you’ll need to know when The Game Awards 2023 begin, so we’ve got the start times all around the world right here for you.
