The Game Awards hits 2.3M viewers and 279K tweets

The Game Awards drew 2.3 million viewers for its recent two-hour awards show, the event announced today. That number was up 20 percent from less than 2 million last year for the inaugural event hosted by Geoff Keighley.

“We started something special last year with The Game Awards, and it’s encouraging to see the audience grow double-digits for our second outing,” said Keighley, in a blog post.
