The Game Awards had more than 85 million viewers this year

The Game Awards began in 2014, and since then the ceremony organized by Geoff Kafka has seen a steady increase of spectators. In this way, today it was revealed that more than 85 million people enjoyed the ceremony that rewarded it Takes Two as the Goths of 2021.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 85 million we saw this year were generated through various platforms. On Twitch, the ceremony generated 3.35 million unique viewers. On the other hand, on YouTube the transmission recorded 1.75 million hours of visualization in the main transmission, 14% compared to what was seen last year. This was what Kafka said about it:

We are grateful to be able to return to a ceremony in person in 2021 and continue to build on our success with a significant international growth in 2021.

Over the years, The Game Awards has grown in a constant popularity. The ceremony began with only 1.9 million units in its first edition. However, in just seven years this event has become one of the most important of the year, this mainly because of its advertisements and revelations, which have taken most of the presentation.

Editor's note:

For good and bad, The Game Awards is more an event focused on new advertisements, revelations and commercials. In this way, the awards ceremony has been reduced to a small amount of the presentation. In more time in this year's edition, only seven minutes were dedicated to the delivery of statuettes.
